This is absurd!
Poll afer poll after polls tells you the public at LARGE doesn't want GAY MARRIAGE!
Someone ought to list the ones that voted against this!
"I do not understand what motivates you," Frank said Monday, addressing Republicans on the Rules Committee. "I don't tell you who to love."
**************
If Barney Frank's against it, it must be wrong.
This should be and will be dealt with on the state level, AND it can only help us in the election. And yes, this election IS that important.
Well this can work another way. The House can get itself off the hook by saying let the states do it themselves--amend their own state constitutions. (local pols will look like the baddies to the gays and lesbians)
Wonder how much money has been raised by both sides on this issue? Really, how is this going to change the average American`s life?

O.K., gang, there's another way to do this. Article V provides an alternative way to send a Constitutional Amendment to the States. If 2/3 of the State Legislatures pass a resolution favoring the creation of a Constitutional Convention, then the Congress must call one. Said Convention can then propose (by a 2/3 vote of the delegates voting by states) Constitutional amendments that are then forwarded to the States (bypassing the Congress) for affirmation by a 3/4 vote. There are already more than 2/3 of the states that have gay "marriage" bans.
Unbelievable! And these jerks say they represent the people. They're an embarrassment.
My rep voted "Present"?! WTF does that mean? I'll have to ask him.
it's not what the PEOPLE want, it's what the liberals and rinos want that counts. Someday , we are going to have had enough, and revolt!!!!!!!!
You better believe it will make a difference. Check the roll-call votes and take names.
A Constitutional Convention is a bad idea... the convention won't be limited to the Gay Marriage question... we'll also have every left-wing, fuzzy-thinking, spendthrift, Commie, pinko liberal issue on the table. I shudder to think what might happen.
It won't be dealt with at the state level if the Supreme Court decides to force it on everyone just like they did with Roe. In fact, unless we act, that's what will happen, at least with the current Robed Rulers. You cannot read Lawrence honestly without knowing that. This is an amendment to curb government overreach by the judicial branch.
It means he is a coward.
It means he refused to take a stand.
The two I was most interested in were Murtha and my own congresscritter Larsen (d-wa)
