Think Progress » Ted Olson To Chris Wallace On Marriage Equality: 'Would You ... - 0 views

  •  
    This morning, Ted Olson - the conservative lawyer who represented President Bush in Bush v. Gore - appeared on Fox News Sunday to discuss his recent victory in overturning Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriages in California. Throughout the interview, host Chris Wallace attempted to trip up his guest with a series of familiar Republican talking points, all of which Olson repudiated.

Keeping You in the Know: FOXNews.com: Why I'm Joining the Fight for Marriage Equality - 2 views

  •  
    I was sure there were Republicans who were supportive of Marriage Equality, but I never thought I would find such support on the pages of FOX News, much less find myself ever posting anything from them. But this is a strange day.

Our Fantasy Nation? - NYTimes.com - 0 views

    It has among the lowest tax burdens of any major country: fewer than 2 percent of the people pay any taxes. Government is limited, so that burdensome regulations never kill jobs. This society embraces traditional religious values and a conservative sensibility. Nobody minds school prayer, same-sex marriage isn't imaginable, and criminals are never coddled. The budget priority is a strong military, the nation's most respected institution. When generals decide on a policy for, say, Afghanistan, politicians defer to them. Citizens are deeply patriotic, and nobody burns flags. So what is this Republican Eden, this Utopia? Why, it's Pakistan.

Catalpa Grove: On Same Sex Marriage Joe Biden Has Political Balls Obama Lacks - 0 views

  •  
    I was a Joe Biden fan long before I had heard of Barack Obama. Unfortunately, and to the dismay of this independent voter, the Obama political machine is making a big deal out of nothing for Biden's support of same sex marriage .

The McCain/Palin Debate Spin: We Won Because She Wasn't a Dithering Idiot - 0 views

  • What Gertrude Stein said about her hometown Oakland could also be said of Sarah Palin. "There is no there, there." Sarah Palin is simply without substance.
  • She even tried to humanize her image, saying that despite her views against same sex marriage she didn't judge people and had a diverse group of friends. However, when moderator Gwen Ifill asked Palin if she was in agreement with Senator Biden, who'd said he was against all forms of discrimination against same sex couples but did not support gay marriage, Palin would only repeat what Biden said about gay marriage. Perhaps because she realized that her key supporters -- the evangelical right wing -- might already be choking on their fried chicken wings because of her attempt to say something pleasant about a group of people they consider an abomination.

      The only point of that made any sense to me was her agreement with Biden on civil union - even through she could never say the words.

Drugs over Marriage: The insanity of voting for the right to marry - 0 views

  •  
    I think voting on rights is ridiculous to begin with, but when I think of the people who fought for this discrimination - organizations like NOM who are not even IN Maine... it makes my blood boil! What right does the majority have to tell another adult citizens who they can marry.

Maddow: Ron Paul calls out uncomfortable truth in GOP politics | Dark Politricks - 0 views

  •  
    "What is most interesting about Ron Paul is the extent to which his domestic stuff, his social-issue libertarianism, his position on things not just like the war in Iraq but the war on drugs, calls out a really uncomfortable truth in Republican politics," she explained. "Which is that Republicans want their brand to be small, hands off government, but the policies they support are more like big intrusive government. Things like forced, mandatory drug testing by the government and federal regulation of every marriage in the country."
