I suck

I fully support gay marriage, but I wish we could drop this issue right now. A majority of the public hates queers and not only wants them not to marry, but to get the heck off the tv. Speaking of off the TV, what ever happend to Cheney's lesbian daughter?

This election is close, though it shouldn't be (anyone running against Bush should be a shoe-in). The dems are the queer and minority party, and the repubs with their right-wing lovers are clearly the anti-faggotry party. If we push this issue now, not only will we lose as everyone tries to please the average right-wing voting Joe / Joan, but Bush will win. I'm fighting for gay marriage because it's too late not to, but I really fear what this will mean for the election.

I don't know why we don't just vote on issues that matter, at least to me. Environment, international relations, economy, deficit spending issues, interpretation of the constitution, cabinet members, political appointees...these are areas that make me desperate for 'not-Bush.'

despite my last post, i do agree with you that the issue should be dropped. well.. not dropped. i think it should have been a non-issue from the start. i believe that george w bush is making such a big deal out of it now precisely to create division and to steer attention away from his other mis-doings. but i can't help being angry about it - listening to these complete meddling idiots blather on the radio about the goddamn sanctity of a "natural" union between a man and a woman. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.

NPR makes me happy and sad...happy that they present the information, happy that it's clear some people understand what's going on, and sad that so few people listen.

That's why the issue is being labled as the republican's "Weapon of Mass Distraction."
