When you voted for Obama in 2008 ...One last thing. When you voted for Obama in 2008 he was decidedly against gay marriage.<br /><br />I get that he has "evolved" on that, and maybe you were banking that he always was pro-gay marriage and was just making a political calculation.<br /><br />But what does that really say about him?<br /><br />Dick Cheney was out ahead of Barack on gay marriage.<br /><br />By the way, I have no problem with gay marriage...the gay community should be able to enjoy the same miseries as the rest of us.<br /><br />But the logic of your statement isn't entirely correct.<br /><br />Currently they have the same rights as everyone else. They have the same right to marry a non-related, consenting adult of the opposite sex as I or you do.<br /><br />They are asking for a new right under the law. They wish the state to codify the marriage of same sex consenting adults. <br /><br />I have no problem, and I suspect most people won't in the long run, with the State changing the rules. But it would be a new right, not a right denied.<br /><br />Until that happens, and I suspect it will, they are avenues they could take (such as Power of Attorney) to mitigate some of the issues you mentioned. <br /><br /><br /><br /> CentreRighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973373177907981564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849311.post-6989309618869370472012-11-06T08:16:49.388-05:002012-11-06T08:16:49.388-05:00Pretty soft stuff to rehire "your guy". ...Pretty soft stuff to rehire "your guy". Your vagina? You vote for someone because you have a vagina?<br /><br />How does that square with Obama being focused on "bringing everyone together"? He has sliced you neatly into a part of the electorate based on your gender.<br /><br />Because of the Ledbetter Act? Do you even know what that act does? It extended the time frame that someone could sue. That is it. Republicans were against it because it meant that businesses would have to hold records forever and be LESS likely to hire women.<br /><br />http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/20628/the-lilly-ledbetter-act-exacerbates-gender-gap-discourages-hiring<br /><br />As far as the other stuff..."separate drinking fountains?" is a shameful thing to accuse Republicans of. Do some research on the sordid history of your party if you want to see who favored Jim Crow laws and attempted to legalize bigotry and which party fought against it.<br /><br />No one is going to take away your birth control...and if you think that someone will, you should know better. You are being spun.<br /><br />The argument is that we shouldn't force private, religious organizations to pay for things that are against their conscience. Making a Catholic University pay for abortifacients is a violation of the basic freedoms this country was founded on. If Sandra Fluke doesn't like it, she didn't need to petition to go to school at a Jesuit University. <br /><br />Romney is not this caricature you have bought into. He isn't going to take away the pill or stop African Americans from eating at lunch counters.<br /><br />He is going to try and get our country, now 16 Trillion in debt and rising by 2.8 million a minute, back to some sense of fiscal sanity. We are going bankrupt, and a country that borrows 2 of every 3 dollars won't last very long.<br /><br />I get that social issues and "women's issues" are important, but if the country goes completely bankrupt...how do you think that will help women? <br /><br />What is Obama's plan? His last budget was voted down 99-0. He has no plan. <br /><br />That is why he is accusing the other side of being against women.<br /><br />It is divisive stuff. And from reading your post it works.<br /><br />CentreRighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973373177907981564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849311.post-45606420551748283972012-11-05T17:24:57.880-05:002012-11-05T17:24:57.880-05:00I'm Canadian and even I agree with you.
