Obama Declares Support For Gay Marriage

ood for Obama, personally I thought he would support this sooner or later anyway but its nice he did it before the election and I agree it is a little ballsy.

Anyway equal gay rights will be a realty soon, id say 10 years max and thats how it should be. The majority of americans do not want to discriminate against their fellow americans and understand that this has no impact to any other marriage at all. Its about equality, freedoms, rights and ridding this country of one more discriminating practice.
 

Mitt Romney who is set on supporting a Federal Marriage Amendment that would define marriage as being between a man and a woman in the US Constitution and place discrimination into our Constitution? No thank you. Not into discriminating against people based on a failed belief that the word marriage belongs to the religious people.
 
Obama changed his views on something that doesn't effect policy or the law whatsoever. It is meaningless.


No.

Pay attention.

The word "flip-flopper" is a meaningless attack word.

He might as well have given his views on a chunnel between Florida and Cuba. It's a circus,and those who buy into it are the clowns.

Perhaps you should go to the Debate Circus forum.

I second that!

while Equal Gay Rights wouldn't always be a make or break issue for me in this case it is. Any candidate that would campaign against it or want to make a national law against it / amendme3nt against it would NEVER get my vote because in my opinion with this one move they clearly don't understand America and what we are about. Can't support that type of discrimination.

So while the American economy declines and unemployment remains at record levels, you feel the issue in the upcoming presidential election is Gay marriage?

Perhaps BHO and his handlers are pretty smart after all.
 
No.

You seem to be a few posts out of sync. You want to try that again?

Attempts at snappy repartee is something clumsy leftists should avoid. It makes you look even goofier.

You can now relax. Nothing has changed. BHO, encouraged by his mentor Joe Biden (or Brainiac as Brack calls him), was just musing out loud. It's all the same as last week and the week before that.

Honestly, I think the only thing the President can really do is stuff within their power. What exactly is Romney going to do for the economy? Suggest bills to Congress then hope those things help? That's basically what the Pres. can do on the economy. He might also do some things along those lines that I don't agree with like take out regulations that we actually need but he thinks we don't.

And that is how I feel about most issues and both candidates. I know what they support and honestly I think a combo of both would be best for us but neither really wants to compromise and I have no clue which would actually work best. I don't really think most economists know that either. The best they can do is predict what might happen.

Same sex marriage being legal on the other hand is completely something I know the solution for and anyone who actively says he will work against the solution that will not only provide equality for people but will also provide at least a small boost to our economy is not someone I want as President.

Start from the beginning of the thread and read forward, it will all make perfect sense.

"Leftist" = lame attack word when you have no real point to make.

Better luck next time.

How would you suggest I "debate" my own opinion?

And buy a dictionary and look up the word 'Hypocrisy' - you're misusing it.

And please don't embarrass yourself further by misusing the word 'ironic' like so many do on DP.

You want me to go back 24 pages in order that you might make sense? It would take a lot more than that.

Is it becoming an "attack word" to you? Di you find it difficult to defend being a leftist?

Not certain where that came from. Perhaps you're not reading your posts before you press "send".

Actually he's not.

Leftists always want to control the language.

You seem to have a reading issue. I just suggested you start at the beginning and go slow.

How can I defend what I'm not?

Are you going to make a point in any of these posts? Or just keep calling people 'leftist'. Why not Marxist or Martian? They're all equally idiotic if you knew anything about me.

Vulcan? Closer.

hypocrisy is doing what you accuse or demonize others of.you attacked the right using right wing attack words yet accuse the right on every possible chance uwithout a debate,you are a textbook user of not only logical fallacies which are considered ignorant to use in a debate,you are a hypocrite as well,accusing those of doing what you yourself do.

would you like to play this game any further,i got plenty more drinks to keep me going and a dictionary and a list of logical fallacies that defies your own rhetoric.

Looks like the palin baby decided to jump into the fray on this topic on her blog. . .

She continued, "In this case, it would've been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that's not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids' worldview."

Konservatives will react to it the same way monkeys react to bananas.

And while they're jumping up and down going "OOK! OOK!" to their new young Messiah, it's expected that the state legislature of AZ will enact a law to spend no less than $500,000,000 of taxpayer funds to build a 22K gold statue of the palin baby as a result of these blog comments, w/Sheriff Joe and/or Russel Pearce standing by during the unveiling ceremony to add "If I had a daughter, she'd be Bristol Palin."

FYI, I know I'm underestimating the impact of this event to konservatives, but I don't like to exaggerate.

Could the hypocrisy be any thicker? A single, teenage mom has the cajones to lecture someone else on child rearing and morality? :2rofll:

Yes, the leftists would have preferred she aborted the baby, that bringing a child into the world is immoral, but we should also offer others the freedom of choice many leftists themselves advocate.

Or perhaps the leftists would have preferred she learned about abstinence so that she could live up to the standards that her parents and conservatives insist on imposing on everyone else.

I'd of prefered she learned about birth control.
