If Democrats in Congress truly believe all the things they profess, then yes, they are cowards for not fighting hard enough.

I'm a Republican... The majority of the Democrats are morally wrong, and are all for that stuff....  Its almost like a sickness... They whine and stomp their feet about our soldiers being over in Iraq, fighting for our Country, and then they whine and stomp their feet for gay rights, etc.....Does that make sense..... Scary bunch of people, huh...

Why do liberals always have to "find" some sort of problem in Bush's Administration. For example, it's like when of Bush's administrators professed he was "gay" and all the Dems were on that. What I don't understand is, Dems "are for" gays yet they're criticizing Bush? Why so anti-gay all of a sudden?

No on all accounts and accusations.  Remember when you point a finger at someone there are three more pointing right back at you.  \n\nLet's see if the democrats can do anything better.

no they haven't.  Most of them think that any controversial law passed that contradicts their way thinking is going to cause this country to go to "hell in a handbasket".  Trust me, even if it were to become legal in the entire U.S. , you wouldn't see bunches of kids lining up to be "gay".  It's just silly paranoia on their part.

Don't know, don't care. I vote for the best person, who most closely agrees with me and my views. If they happen to be a gay republican so be it. Yes, I vote manly for Repubs they are closer to my views then the Dems. I have and would vote for a Dems. If they could just tell me what they stand for instead of just tell me to vote against someone

Thanks to democrats, they will if the lesbian doesn't let anyone know that they are.\n\nLet me try to give an explination as to why it is not "stupid" t  not let homosexuals in the military as a poster under me feels it is.\n\nYou must try to think about from an objective point of view.. First of all, you could say that the homosexual soldiers could shower/bunk with the opposite sex, but this is not a logical solution: First of all, what happens when you have more than one? Then they are bunked together and you have the same problems you face placing males and females together. Let's not even get into the situation of straight males claiming to be gay just to shower and bunk with the females. Next, whether you want to accept it or not there are a lot of cultures around the world that are not accepting of homosexuality. One of the jobs of the military is to represent the United States wherever we go. You cannot keep up a professional appearance when you have those activities going on in front of people who are deeply offended by such things. There are many factors you must consider when it comes to such things; it's not just a "macho homophobic" attitude or whatever anger people want to throw around.

not really. why should other people's backwards ideas bother you, especially when they don't even impact your life? unless you're a homosexual. then they sure do. the scary thing is that these repressed puritanicals are in charge of our lives now, and this isn't just a gay rights issue. the government is after the breeders too, with restrictions on abortion and birth control, and the age of consent.

I've been thinking about this for quite awhile now in an attempt to try to understand the answer to your exact question.\n\nI used to think that Republicans who support Bush were just haters who were obviously miserable unhappy ppl that wanted to be angry and blame everybody else for what flaws they saw in their lives; BUT, I have come to realize this is incorrect.\n\nThe answer lies in the fundamental way of thinking. I will explain: take for example, homosexuality. The rightwing take the fact that the Bible states homosexuality is a sin to mean that it should not be allowed in our society. They see things in flat black and white; based purely on what THEY have decided is right and wrong. With this true conviction that they are right, they feel they have the authority, as the majority, to impose their beliefs on society, ignoring the rights of the minority.\n\nThe liberal pt of view, stems from society as a whole and the rights of the individual even when in the minority. Liberals, while many also considering homosexuality a sin in the Bible, do not feel it is their place to dictate to another person how he/she should live their life as long as it is within the confinements of the law. So, you see, the liberal-minded seem to look beyond themselves and what THEY believe is right or wrong. \n\nDon't mean to make this a gay posting.. that was just an example to try to explain my answer to your question.

Impossible.\n\nWe Dems support all sorts of rights, and we defend the Constition. And Dems oppose violent terror groups that destroys life.

The current debate is foundational.  It touches on the issues of how the country should be governed.  Whether we should employ democratic and constitutional processes to change the meaning and intent of the US Constitution and the granting of "rights."  Second, the current campaign will not ensure that your brother or any other gay or lesbian persons will actually enjoy the privileges and benefits that current heterosexuals enjoy now as a married couple.  In short, the current campaign for gay marriages is ill-conceived and will cause more harm than good for both homosexuals, bisexuals and heterosexuals.  You need to look beyond the hype and your emotions and become informed.  Your goals are not helped by using the incorrect political process.\n\nThere are several secular and non-religious reasons for rejecting the current process to secure "Marriage" or "Civil Unions" for gay and lesbians. I have summarized the major reasons below. For more indepth analysis, see the reference below.\n\nI.Why the Current Campaign to Establish Gay \nMarriages Is Anti-Democratic and Anti-Constitutional\n\n\nOur government was founded upon the premise that “Governments are instituted among men [and women], deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” The current attempt to change the scope and meaning of the US Constitution in regards to 'gay marriages' by side stepping the amendment process will--in the end--jeopardize everyone's freedom. The attempt to expand the current tradition and meaning of marriage to include same gendered individuals through either a judicial pronouncement of a single state or federal judge--or a decision by a “State” or an Appellate Court, and/or through the edicts of several local politicians--should be seen as an attack on our constitutional democracy from within. \n\nSeeking to expand the rights of a few, by the few, by trouncing on the rights of the governed, should be seen as an act similar to those which occasioned the creation of the “Declaration of Independence.”\n\nIt is our position that expanding the rights of gays and lesbians to enter into marriage should be done through the amendment process that has been used for over 200 years. Seeking to side step the ‘constitutional’ process in favor of expediency is a sign not of enlightenment, patriotism, nor constitutional fidelity, but of hubris—of pride and arrogance. Historical and constitutional integrity requires all Americans to work to defeat the present attempt to expand the U.S. Constitution by the dictates of the few whether or not an individual believes that granting “gay marriages’ is a just cause.\n\nAs stated above and worth mentioning again, it is our position here that the real issue is not whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry. The real issues are (1) did the original white male voters, who approved the original articles of the Constitution, mean to include gays and lesbians in the institution of marriage and, if not, (2) did subsequent voters expand marriage to include gays and lesbians and, if not, (3) what are the proper means for expanding the institution of marriage to include gays and lesbians?\n\nAs Americans, we should all believe in the use of the “proper means for a proper end.” The proper means for expanding the rights we have under the US Constitution is to submit such changes to the American people via a proposed Constitutional Amendment. We believe that the US Constitution should only be changed with the consent of the governed as is required in our democracy.\n\nThe current campaign to enact 'gay marriages' without allowing all Americans to exercise their right to vote is counter-productive to maintaining our constitutional form of democracy, divisive to society, a waste of tax payers' dollars and a frivolous use of the time and skills of our elected and judicial officials. We believe that our elected and judicial officials

Becuase many of our lawmakers are right-wing Republicans who believe that gay people aren't moral.  But these are the same men who are cheating on their wives.  I don't know why some people in this country think it is "okay" to write discrimination into the Constituition of the United States.  That erases everything our forefathers stood for.  There was this thing... many years back, called "Separation of Church & State" but yet Politicians seem to forget that.

Welcome to the "Big Tent" party!! We Democrats are proud to say that we have no membership quotas of any kind. Black, Brown, Yellow, Red, Young, Old, Female, Gay, Lesbian, whatever.\n\nWhy, they even have room for middle-aged, fat, bald, straight, white guys, like me.\n\nWelcome, my brother, welcome!

I don't think that's the reason.\nBecause most gays are Democrats.\nAnd most Democrat Politicians are NAMBLA people.
