Isn?t it funny how any issue that effects someone personal is an issue they can agree with?
Cheney supporting same sex marriage, Nancy Reagan supporting stem cell research.
How would you explain opposing an issue, until it hits home?

Allowing ballot votes on civil rights issues should never be allowed unless
the voter has been there, done that. Like with Cheney, only if you have
someone in your family you can relate to for reality and not information
mostly from paid negative ad's.

"Will of the people" should never decide legal and civil rights issues.
The public are too easily fooled into believing non truths.
And they don't know law.

It?s time for same sex to be addressed on a federal level by the US supreme court, and passed on a federal national level, all states from shore to shore.
And thus put the matter, just as with civil rights in the 1960's, to a final rest.

In other words, it's time for a change. We need to ruled by a benevolent dictator, who will protect us. Not give the people what they want, but what they ought to want.

Is that right?

I wonder if you would have been this upset at the Civil Rights Act or the 19th Amendment.

Neither of which were implemented by the Supreme Court.

'I think, you know, freedom means freedom for everyone,' says former veep

Didn't expect this one. I wonder what those people who buy the GOP hook, line, and sinker will say to this? Some GOP members/supporters practically have Cheney's balls in their mouths.

Is Cheney a RINO now too?

You should include in your OP that he's in favor of it insofar as the issue is left to state legislatures.

My position is no different. If 50 states approve gay marriage, I've no objection, even though I oppose the practice. What will seriously piss me off is a Roe v. Wade of gay marriage.

Republican consistency:

The USSC finds for Bush in the 2000 election on equal-protection grounds => Joe Repub: "Sounds good to me."

The USSC finds a right to same-sex on equal-protection grounds => Joe Repub: "Judicial activism!"

I'm sure the result of Brown v Board of Ed upset you which was decided by the SC.

It's b/c Cheney is gay.

Mark my words.

There was more to this Jeff Gannon / Talon News thing...

It will come out.

What we really want to hear is breaking news that reveals that Cheney has had a secret hunky male lover for years and that he's a "bottom".

What do you think the "man" size safe in his office was for?

I hope you guys all know the difference between a conservative and a social conservative. Bush was a social conservative Cheney was not. If im not mistaked he simply said he didnt care if they did it as long as it was left up to the states to decide(i.e what a real conservative would say).
