“A couple of neocons who would like to see same-sex marriage banned constitutionally.” – your other persona wrote that perhaps? Seems Vince pegged your position pretty clearly.

And DOMA is a -reaction- to judges redefining terms to support their agenda. The Consitution is quiet on the matter, thus leaving it to the states to decide. Not the states’ courts to go “Look, we’re going to quote phrase a, text b and penumbra c to redefine it as we see fit.”

Once again Vince, you’re reading things that aren’t there. Maybe you should see a doctor about that.

“So the answer is no, they donâ€™t care as long as thereâ€™s a D after his name.”

Incorrect. I would vote for a Republican if they had views more similar to my own than a Democrat candidate. However in this instance I support neither Obama or McCain fully, but Obama is at least making an effort to meet my values and needs half way. The same cannot be said of McCain.

You chastise Obama for supporting civil unions. But what’s the alternative? A couple of neocons who would like to see same-sex marriage banned constitutionally. Really, is throwing the baby out with the bathwater the best approach to take? I would have thought that some rights > no rights at all.

Perhaps Mr. Obama, Rev. Jackson, and Rev Wright will ‘settle’ for “equivalent rights” for people of color.

At least with Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin I know exactly where they stand on gay issues. With Mr. Obama and Mr…. (I forgot his name), they lie to you while taking your money.

Thank you michael, xyssy for proving Dan correct, again

Yep, because McCain and Palin are all for same sex marriage. Throwing rocks from the windows of your glass house is so much fun.

I have to agree that the wagons will be circled…the same thing happened with Bill Clinton. He was responsible for DADT and signing Defense of Marriage, and still he and Hillary were some how supporters of gay rights. I never figured that out, and when I pointed the contradiction out to liberal gay folks, I got the standard, “Republicans want to put gays in concentration camps” retort.

Nah. They’ll circle the wagons around Comrade Obama and defend him to the death. When the sh*t hits the fan, they’re liberals first and foremost.

Even the Gay Left bloggers like Andy Towle have noted that Barry’s now laying the groundwork to wiggle-out of getting rid of DADT. He’s gone from promising to end DADT, to “working” to end DADT, now it’s he’ll lay the groundwork to “discuss” DADT with the Congress and the Joint Chiefs.

And from my perspective, he’s never been much of a champion of gay rights, nor of “gay marriage”, from the very beginning….just lot’s of promises that pushed the correct buttons for the G/L Dhimmicratic ATMs to continue to pour money into his coffers…without demanding any accountability.
