The failure to do was probably what got us here in the first place.
You can be opposed to Gay Marriage, yet vote against George Bush.
Yes, Christians, you can do that too, y'know
And many people did, which is probuably one reason why the election was somewhat close
unfortunately it was pounded into their heads that a vote for Bush is a ban on gay marriage...and vote for Kerry was an open door to men marrying men, men marrying dogs, and men fucking machines...GG-Duo said:Please try to seperate the Gay Marriage Ban issue with the Bush re-election issue.

Right. But it irks me when I see it on these boards or from Michael Moore.
It's like... "dude, they would listen to you a whole lot better if you didn't mix all those issues up in your debate"
I mean, honestly, the focus should have been War and Economy. Those are issues that most people can agree with, except neo-cons.

If you asked the same question 50 years ago, the results would have been different. What's obvious to me is that some day gays will have the same rights as anyone else, apparently it's just not today. Martin Luther King had the same vision 50 years ago for blacks. It's only a matter of time, but it will happen.
DarienA said:That saddest part of all of this? The Redskins lost for nothing... and now Bush can triumphantly proclaim that he broke the urban legend.
I'm a Cowboys fan and I voted for Bush....so you can see how conflicted I was..
There was no way I wanted the Redskins to win...like ever.

I can see it now, Republicans are all excited because Bush has been re-elected. Its been 3 years since 9/11, large portion of Americans believe we are safe because of Bush. It doesn't matter 9/11 happened on his watch, but somehow he's a great defender of this nation. The first attack on the WTC happened in 93, 8 years later WTC is attacked again but this time result is 3000 dead and the Pentagon hit at aswell.
3 years has past and everything is all gravy, not one attack. What was that guy name that said terroist cells plan their attacks and that it could take years before they attack again.
It amazing how easily people forget, after all the investigations, articles, news reports and news conferences that the guys that flew those 747 passenger planes into the WTC, had been in America for years before they actually carried out the attacks.
Whats even more strange is the State that the WTC is based in, voted Democratic.
OBL sends a video to Al-Jazzera, telling the American people that neither candidate can protect them. Also included that are safety was in our hands. Naturally attacks Bush and his administration and foriegn policies.
He's supposedly on the run, but he has time to sit and film a long ass video. His cloths look like they have been to the cleaners and pressed. Where the video was filmed didn't look like a cave, which I assumed he would be in since he's on the run. Whats even more fucked up, this man on the run also had enough time to obviously sit down and watch Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11.
I don't have much to say on the war in Iraq, I'll just say, smart people think things through. Intelligent people do research, weigh the pros against the cons. They plan to the most accurate %.
We don't just live in America, we live in a world. There is no force field over the U.S. Every action has a consequence, whether that consequence is good or bad depends on the action.
Who here thinks the insurgents are gonna give up?

Also 24% of Gays voted for Bush as did 11% Black which is up for 2000.

I have the hardest time believeing any of this.
Everyone I know, even Bushies voted Kerry. There were lines out the ass in Kerry areas, and people don't wait in line for 3 hours for more of the same. And Kerry not asking for a recount is Bs.
This is the beginning of the fall of America. The kind of conduct and behavior exhibited by this administration is simply self destructive in all ways and has been reinforced by an ignorant electorate.

I didn't think people were confusing Bush with the anti-Gay-Marriage thing on this thread. It's come up as a topic because it's part of the election news.
It's also one of my bigger concerns becuase:
1) I could be wrong about Bush and his handling of the war or the economy going forward, and even if I am not, it's only 4 more years
2) The environmental policies swing with whomever is in office, they will change.
3) State amendments and the general political trend abotu gay marriage is not going to change as easily.
Bigots score big today.

Darn, I see God will have no mercy... then so be it, may his will be done.

I often don't think it matters how good or bad he performs. It seems there are way too many people groomed and ingrained with extreme and/or stubborn political beliefs from an early age. I'm sure everyone knows people who unwaveringly vote for their party year after year without any hesitation or deliberation. The fact that there only seems to have been a handful of "battleground states" these last two elections is depressing. It'd be nice to see a majority of the states in play rather than essentially conceded before the election even starts.

A lie would mean he intends to not tell the truth...xsarien said:
when you have the CIA, MI6 British intelligence, and Russian intelligence telling you Saddam probably has weapons, then I don't consider using those sources the same thing as "blatent lie"...
The reason we don't go around freeing everybody is that there is also a strategic reason for changing the Middle-East, where terrorism against the United States is being breed...
I agree there are plenty of countries that need help, but Iraq, which is right next to Iran and Syria, could be a magnificent achievement if freedom were to prosper there, with Israel already a democracy and now Afganistan as well going democratic...
The Middle East looks very different now than it does 4 years ago, and I'm not so sure temporary insurgencies and setbacks are worse than what was there when the US had no presence there except some bases in Saudi Arabia...

You are a fucking joke. It's obvious from your posts that forty years ago you would have opposed integration and civil rights. I bet your parents did, judging by how you turned out. Don't you dare cloak your naked homophobia in feigned appreciation for King's legacy.

It's absolutely hilarious for you to be preaching about "DEVIANT" behavior when you, akascream, spent months in a rehabilitation center because of drug addictions. Don't you dare fucking chastise someone's lifestyle when you can't control your CHOICE OF USING DRUGS, YOU DEVIANT.

Dude dont bother, thse guys are all hypocrits, they all lack empathy until they are affected personally. Look at rush limbaugh, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of the hardcore right wing christian types, note i didnt say republicans, are closet homosexuals.
