Let's vote a Democrat in instead . . .At some point you have to ask; would that be better? Jimmy Carter was maybe the best thing to happen to conservatism in the 20th century. Before him we had two liberal Republicans, after him we had Reagan, and RINOs became a lot rarer.
Gay marriage is a no-lose issue for the GOP. A large majority of Americans are against it. We had a very similar amendment to the FMA in our state, and it passed nearly 3:1, with every major newspaper against it. If GWB can't get behind the FMA, you have to question his conservatism. You can't argue it's politically harmful; all the evidence is it's a winner. So what's the problem?
LOL!!! Ahhh yes the whole sacraficial lamb arguement. It seems that you must have passed up on the President's interview this evening or else you wouldn't bother to bring up FMA. But hey that's not my problem.
Anyways if you really think shooting yourself in the foot and thinking that you'll grow back a newer and shinier foot in the future is the way to go. So be it. It's funny though, I alwyas thought that it was the Republican party that was supposed to be big on common sense.
Personally I think that theirs a LOT of impetuous "conservatives" out there that think that the world of politics is like Burger King and that they can have thing their way whenever they want it. Fortunately I don't subscribe to such silliness.
