Er what? Gay marriage isn't a civil right. Legal recognition of economic co-dependance is. Marriage is a religious institution, and I cannot for the life of me understand why homosexuals want a label that has identified so closely with religions that dont support them for thousands of years. Affirmative action was a necessary policy, but in some respects it has begun to work in reverse. I am not ready to say it should go, but it certainly needs to be reviewed. Equal education funding? Being Australian I can't tell you specifics of US policies but I'm guessing there is not Republican policy opposing equal access to education. I could argue that Affirmative Action has become racist....

1) And you think that Republicans are against legal recognition of economic co-dependance?
2) Affirmative action was nessecary, but it does NOW need to go. All it's doing is putting unqualified people into positions and places that they are doing far more harm than good. Would you want a doctor that was put there due to AA, and not for his abililty to perform good quality surgeries? And since AA needs to go....Which party do you think will actually take a stand on bringing it down and ending racial inequalities?
3) Actually, republicans want better access to all types of schools. We have something wonderful in America called "homeschooling" and "private schools" that the Democrats absolutely hate. They also are far cheaper to fund, and give kids better education - Republicans want to give vouchers to said school choices (just as much as public school) to ensure true school choice.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
