Thread: Deja Vu all over again.

So as most have may or may not have heard the senate is going to start debating same sex marriage...AGAIN!!!!

Now I know I don't have to go too deep to let you all know what I feel. (I've spoken about it enough on various occasions.) But this vent is not about the issue it self; it is about how they are going to waste 2 or 3 weeks debating what didn't go through two years ago...why? Because Bush is at 29% approval rating and he needs to energize his base with something all the right wing christians can cling to..this issue. If he can't help republicans get re-elected in the fall because everyone has been distancing themselves from him then they feel that if this issue comes around again it will assure republican seats won't be lost.
It's all a stunt. Get it?!? They won't bring up immigration, Iran, Iraq, or the defecit (important issues) no they feel now is the time to save marriage again. (Like it really needs to be saved by the likes of them anyway.)

Republican majority uses symbols to woo its base
AFP - 1 hour, 55 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Five months before a congressional election that may prove difficult for Republicans, the party of President George W. Bush has decided to move to the forefront an issue dear to its conservative base: a gay marriage ban. Congress has many burning issues on its agenda: it has to unblock emergency funds for Iraq and Afghanistan, adopt a budget, ratify a nuclear deal with India and encourage construction of refineries to lower painfully high gas prices.
I guess the highlighted issues are back burner now, huh?!?

Yes!

This is so ridiculous. Their are much more important things than what 2 human beings want to do with their lives.
What they do will not effect another damn person, PERIOD!




10 Reasons Gay Marriage is Wrong

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriages will be less meaningful if gay marriages were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. We could never adapt to new social norms, just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Have you seen the TV series "Big Love" - trying to make multiple marriage mainstream....
