RE: The larger concern should be about Republicans that have recently spoken out in favor of gay marriage.

I know of only one thus far -— Rob Portman. Not even sure of Dick Cheney supports it.

“Is some form of legalized gay marriage inevitable in the United States?”

Cheney replied:

“Well, I think that freedom means freedom for everyone. As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something that, uh, we have lived with for a long time, in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute that governs this, I don’t support. I do believe that historically the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level. It has always been a state issue, and I think that’s the way it ought to be handled today, that is on a state-by-state basis. Different states will make different decisions. But I don’t have any problem with that. I think people ought to get a shot at that.”

Whoop-de-doo. Portman was on a vice presidential shortlist for no apparent reason. He’s really no more of a name than Susan Collins. Was it Ben Nelson that spoke out today against gay marriage? I can’t remember. It was on the radio. He’s a Demorat.
Rove and these former Bush staffers can go on Fox and talk about big tents and all that crap, but they’re nobodies as well. They’re losers.
“Oh, I can see a future Republican presidential candidate saying yes to gay marriage, you know!”...
Really, ‘cos I sure as shit can’t. At least, not one who would be aiming to win.

Oh, and to the voting people of Missouri. Thanks a lot for sending this genius to the senate... AGAIN. I know Akin was a moron, but this b*tch is a million times worse, with all due respect. What a lying, phony, pathetic excuse for a woman.
