Gay marriage ban-
- "I don't believe there's any issue that's more important than this one," said Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican. "I think this debate is very healthy, and it's winning a lot of hearts and minds. I think we're going to show real progress."
How can anyone other than the most extreme not be repulsed by this type statement? I understand that 60% or so of the voters are anti-gay on marriage, but the most important issue?
What is most absurd is that if there was a chance it could pass i bet the Rs wouldn't push it- that would prevent them from running a state ban in any battleground states in the future

The most important issue facing the country today is not gay marriage, but flag-burning. Thankfully, the Bush Administration and its Wahhabi Republican supporters are going to tackle that crucial issue next.
Runaway deficits, immigration, and the growing pile of bodies in Iraq come, respectively, in 15th, 27th, and 45th place, in order of importance. (The Iraq thing is just behind tax cuts for pest control companies, aka the Trent Lott Memorial Patriotic Pest Control Act.)
