I am not up with politics and it usually holds no interest for me but I'd like to know the answer to this.

Sometime we just don't have anything to say.  But when we do it's normally pretty good. I'm not a real big talker and this is what I do. Why don't you just work off of what he saying what ever the topic is, work form it.\nThat's what I do, it could be about cars, work, friends, hobbies, family, vacations, kids etc. and always try to stay positive. Even if your not interested in the discussion, if you show that your taking an interest you might even be surprised and actully find that you became intrigged.  Give it a shot, it can't hurt.

Due to my ignorance on this issue, I can not take a stand so I'd like to here the conservative counter to this. This sounds very intriguing.

I believe what you call hot topics are real issues.  If I'm not able to agree with a politician on moral issues...then there is no way I am voting for him/her.  War and money are important issues, but I believe ending the murder of innocent humans, and preserving the family are extremely important issues as well.

Politics is a big money shell game\n\nThe politicians have to court the special interest groups that financed them\n\nNo one is held accountable any more\n\nIt is our age of " Enlightenment"

Personally, I don't get pissed off with intelligent debate. \n\nWhat I get upset with is the ad hominem when discussing politics.\n\nI find more often than not that  people choose to 'shoot the messenger' rather than be angry with the message.\n\nI guess some just don't know how to be adult like when confronted with an opposing point of view.

It is an issue in the past.  It was involved in the circumstances and political climate of its day, and there does not appear to be any sabotage intended.  It simply happened, in the open, up front.  There was nothing underhanded in that it was not ratified.

In theory the answer is B.\n\nBut unfortunately it never happens that way.  The way it happens is a combination of A. & somewhat D.\n\nThey do generate alot of hope with the platform and then they ultimately stray to whatever their base wants.

Perhaps, but this political tactic is not solely a Conservative ploy...\n\nFrankly, I don't care much about the subject, one way or the other...\nI suppose what bothers me the most about it is that a number of plausible compromises on this matter, such as 'civil unions', have been offered by the overwhelmingly straight majority who, for whatever reasons, want to keep the word 'marriage' within the realm of a union between a man and a woman.\nHowever, these patently workable compromises have been rejected by a short-sighted gay minority lobby.\n\nI find this lack of compromise appalling...\n...for, as with the issue of immigration, the only way progress can be made in the future is to seek compromise within the present.\n\nperfect amer...:  Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships, etc,... or whatever you want to call them, they actually DO provide for the  fundamental privileges that 'married' couples have.  Even without civil unions OR marriage most, if not all, of these same privileges could still be obtained through other legal means (e.g., Powers of Attorney).\nBut, given the other comments within your response, I think it's quite apparent that you're not concerned so much with the question at hand as you are with regurgitating adolescent liberal rhetoric.\nAs a political Independent, it would be refreshing to actually see something 'original' come from the  'left', as opposed to the same woeful spewings of political tripe...

I agree with you, honestly, that's why I don't align myself with either party.

i personally don't understand what the big deal is with a person being either party. i feel that all that matters is that the person in office is doing what's best for us and that the issues at hand are important to you.

No idea. But I've been reported for asking : "Will you vote for me?", so I assume people have no sense of humor here....
