Gay Marriage - Future Presidential Support?

Elizabeth Edward’s unreserved support for gay marriage marks a real change in Presidential politics. I believe that the American public is increasingly being won over by the sound bites and the erosion of conservative churches in America. Don’t be surprised at the following. One of them is Elizabeth’s scheduled appearance at a gay pride march.

Elizabeth Edwards’ scheduled appearance Sunday at a major San Francisco Gay Pride event represents a first for a major presidential candidate or spouse — one that activists said reflects the growing clout of gays and lesbians as voters and their continued move into the political mainstream.

Her words express outright support for gay marriage.

Said Edwards: “I don’t know why somebody else’s marriage has anything to do with me. I’m completely comfortable with gay marriage…If he’s pleasant to me on the street, if his children don’t throw things in my yard, then I’m happy. It seems to me we’re making issues of things that honestly … don’t matter.”

However, her explanation of the difference between her position and John Edwards seems really unnecessary. Perhaps it is a sure ‘tell’ that John uses different words but if President he actually holds to her position. In reality the two positions are really one and the same.

 During the stump speech, she reiterated John Edwards’ position on the issue: ”John believes that couples in committed long-term relationships should enjoy the same rights, benefits and responsibilities regardless of whether they are straight couples or same-sex couples. He supports civil unions.”

The military? John supports do tell and please just do.

Edwards also said her husband believes in ending the “don’t ask, don’t tell” government policy regarding gays serving in the military.

Yes… lets do incite the Jihadists to be inflamed with passion against the immoral western civilizations sodomy squad. Who says that liberals know how to push all our enemy’s buttons. They think that President Bush’s policy inflames them… just wait if a real liberal gets into office.
