Conservatives need to fight the important fights, and I see gay marriage as a lose-lose battle for everyone.

I'm sorry, but you missed that putting these turkeys on the list of privilegees will do a real number on this country. I hear tell that God will not be very pleased either.

How? Please explain to me how making this the primary battle in this election benefits anyone? Because that's what is happening here. This issue is pulling attention away from more important issues.

As a Catholic, a father of four, a man with a wife in a foreign country, a business owner and a taxpayer, I'm all for worry about God and my soul, my children, my wife, my business and my employees and keeping good with Uncle Sam. Explain to me how what a bunch of people in San Francisco or Massachusetts effects any of that.

I will tell you. It pulls the focus of the state legislators, senators and house members away from issues such as our schools, our roads, our taxes, budget deficits, and, let's not forget, A WAR.

If the time, energy and money spent on countless hours of congressional debate on gay marriage brings my wife home from Kosovo, then by all means, let's have that discussion. In fact, let's drop everything else and start now.

I have the luxury of writing these comments because I'm not paid to run the country. Let the people who run the country focus their attention on things that matter.
