"[...]marriage is a special institution that should be reserved for a man and a woman," Romney said on Tuesday.

Eventual amendment should specify - "one man and one woman" as well as "excluding close blood relatives". Just in case.

These are the kinds of decisions that force even a certain percentage of the Great Army of Clueless to take notice and realize what is at stake here. Especially sweet that the Rat convention is in Boston next summer -- they are that much more likely to have to face the issue and risk alienating their key weirdo constituency. The cultural gap widens further.

Clinton criticized President Bush for supporting a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as the union of one man and one woman and said the amendment would be pushed by people "who try to drive wedges between Americans."

The "wedge" was driven a long time ago between 98% of the population and the 2% who are homosexuals.If the democrats embrace the homosexual agenda they will lose big time.

We allowed the extreme right to define this as a religious issue, and it's not. It's a civil issue

It's very much both.

But Mark Mead, spokesman for the homosexual Republican group Log Cabin Republicans, believes that GOP opposition to homosexual marriage could harm the party's chances of keeping the White House

Yeah, we really need to worry about losing the votes of the 2% of the population that are homosexuals don't we?

This should really be fun to watch...

...who among the nine dwarves will be the first to embrace the Mass SC decision??
...who will be the first to decry it??

I love it when liberals are forced to eat their own.

He added that misinformation propagated by the "extreme right left" is to blame for much of the opposition to support for same-sex marriage.

Log Cabin Republicans are "pleased with the (Massachusetts Supreme Court) ruling" and believe the issue to be "strictly a civil issue that will protect all families in America," according to Mead.

Karl Rove's replacement for the Religious Right. After all Dick Morris claims that Arnold's election proves that republicans no longer need the religious right, so they can just dump them.

When this is over the Religious Right will have some soul searching to do.

"The past is a really good predictor of the future. When we ran a culture war campaign led by Pat Buchanan in 1992, we lost, and we handed the White House to Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton for eight years," Mead told CNSNews.com.

President Bush's approval rating had fallen below 40% well before Pat Buchanan made his culture-war comments. While Buchanan's primary challenge certainly didn't help Bush, it's a real stretch to say that's why he lost.

So a court defines a particular act of sexual perversion as "marriage." And that is supposed to make it so.

Do you think I can get a court to define Breyer's ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, Oreos, and sourdough bread as low-carb, so I can eat all I want without gaining weight?

I heard Nina Totenberg's story about the Massachusetts court's decision this morning on NPR. Most of her coverage consisted of crowing about it, but buried among her quotes of various activists and advocates, she reported that an unnamed democrat campaign strategist had described the ruling as "nothing but trouble." Understatement of the day.

Chickens are coming home to roost for both parties over this issue. The demoncrats will only look rediculous attempting to parse the difference between civil union and marriage.
