| akuma587 said: I don't agree with Obama on that issue and I think he should take a more aggressive stance on it. From a political standpoint, however, it is a smart move. It is still a divisive issue, although in a few decades opposition to gay marriage will be significantly lower as younger generations tend to not care about the issue anywhere near as much as older people. Take an aggressive stance on too many issues and you will have what I call the "Ron Paul effect" happen to you. Everyone will talk about how great you are, but no one will vote for you. Obama is a politician who has to make sacrifices sometimes. Plain and simple. |
Again, you miss the point of this discussion. This thread has nothing to do with gay marriage, gay marriage is merely the example used to illustrate the double standard.
It could have been an argument on abortion. Both take the same position on it, and one get chastised for it while the other’s views ignored.
