Palin Differs With McCain on Federal Marriage Amendment

ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin has signaled support for a federal marriage amendment defining marriage as between a man and woman – a position inconsistent with Sen. John McCain, who has opposed such a measure, as well as with her own previously stated position of letting states decide on such issues.

In an interview to air tomorrow on The 700 Club, Christian Broadcasting News senior correspondent David Brody asked Palin, "On constitutional marriage amendment, are, are you for something like that?"

"I am, in my own, state, I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman," Palin said, citing the 1998 initiative that banned gay marriage in her home state.

"I wish on a federal level that that’s where we would go because I don’t support gay marriage," Palin added, taking a position at odds with McCain, who voted against efforts for a proposed Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004 and 2006. Earlier this month, McCain told the Washington Blade, a gay newspaper, that he continues to oppose such an amendment today because he thinks the definition of marriage should be a state matter and not one for the federal government "as long as no state is forced to adopt some other state’s standard."

While Palin’s position differs from McCain’s, it is also seemingly at odds with statements she has made calling herself a "federalist" who supports letting individual states decide on such matters.

When asked last month by CBS’ Katie Couric why she considered Roe v. Wade a bad decision, Palin said she believed states and not the federal government should decide the legality of the issue.

"I think it should be a states’ issue not a federal government-mandated, mandating yes or no on such an important issue. I’m, in that sense, a federalist, where I believe that states should have more say in the laws of their lands and individual areas," Palin said. "And I believe that individual states can best handle what the people within the different constituencies in the 50 states would like to see their will ushered in an issue like that."

McCain, who often calls himself a "federalist," has tied together his opposition to Roe v. Wade as well as a Federal Marriage Amendment as consistent with the position of letting states make such decisions.

"I’m a federalist. Just as I believe that the issue of gay marriage should be decided by the states, so do I believe that we would be better off by having Roe v. Wade return to the states," McCain said in an interview on This Week with George Stephanopoulos in November 2006. "And I don’t believe the Supreme Court should be legislating in the way that they did on Roe v. Wade."

As she has said in previous interviews, Palin told CBN’s Brody that she would not "judge" gay individuals, but said that she will continue "casting my votes and speaking up for traditional marriage."

"I’m not going to be out there judging individuals, sitting in a seat of judgment telling what they can and can’t do, should and should not do," Palin told Brody. "But I certainly can express my own opinion here and take actions that I believe would be best for traditional marriage, and that’s casting my votes and speaking up for traditional marriage that, that instrument that it’s the foundation of our society is that strong family and that’s based on that traditional definition of marriage, so I do support that."

User Comments

This is only the beginning of S.Palin. If they get in you will see her pushing for more and more of her beliefs no matter what McCain thinks. He has opened Pandora’s box with her as she still says she will get him to change his mind on Amwar drilling. Who knows what else she will try to change his mind. And, will her husband be attending all the meetings she does as he does in Alaska? Security ones and all? For someone who professes such love of country…how come her husband belongs to a group who wants to annex Alaska. She also attended these meetings so I question McCain’s judgement on this v.p. selection.

Did anyone see the video and the story about John Stewart telling Palin to %$&# off? or Madonna telling her concert crowd that she would beat up Palin? Or Sandra Bernhard telling an audience that her black male friends would rape Palin? Oh that’s right, the alleged incitement of hate is only reported on when it comes from people on the right!

there are klan meetings and groups who think rape is a good thing too
the difference is moron… they are not chanting the stuff at a Presidential political rally

Palin smiles and has a twinkle in her eye that her plan is working.

Posted by: Deep Release | October 20, 2008, 9:47 am 9:47 am

Olivia….Those sick remarks came from individuals who have no official ties with the Obama campaign and don’t deserve the media coverage that a campaigne rally deserves. We expect such remarks from those people. That being the case, both Palin and McCain had opportunities to correct the behavior of people at their rallys and failed to do so. In contrast, when folks at an Obama rally started to “boo” McCain, Obam said “Now, now…we don’t need any of that. We just need to vote.” That’s what a leader is supposed to do.

to Pat Napolitano Marietta. Ga.,
KNOW YOUR CONSTITUTION: TO OVERTHROW ROE VS WADE…. IT WOULD TAKE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. THAT WOULD TAKE DECADES AND WILL NEVER HAPPEN…….PALIN’S OPINION IS HER OWN PERSONAL OPINION OR IN YOUR SOCIALISTS DREAM WORLD IS THAT NO LONGER ALLOWED???? WILL WE ALL HAVE TO START DRESSING THE SAME TOO LIKE IN CHINA?
You have got to stop reading Liberal propaganda web sites. Todd Palin belong BRIEFLY TO THE GROUP YOU MENTIONED AS MANY INDIGENOUS TRIBE PEOPLE FROM ALASKA DO. Its sort of like the American Plain Indians having their own reservations. It represented tribal pride. He was a member for a little over a year until he decided the group was too politically extreme and he quit. His wife, Gov. Palin NEVER BELONG TO THE GROUP, and if she attended a meeting to see what is was about isn’t that what you should do? ……..check out http://www.factcheck.org and learn something.
I see you have no issue with Obama’s DALIANCES WITH THE FAR EXTREME LEFT? BILL AYRES WAS UNREPENTED WHEN HE HAND SELECTED AND WORKED WITH OBAMA ON TWO COMMITTEES. OBAMA WAS IN HIS LATE 30′S AND NOT 8 YEARS OLD THEN !!Or how about his working for a long time with ACORN. Training their legends of fake voter registras??? ACORN picketed banks into making fake loans to unstable applicants and see where that got us??? OBAMA like DOWD made out like a rat with kick back money given to him and he inturn gave nearly $800,000 to an ACORN side group from his campaign money donated in under $200 amounts( this skirts the naming law) by ARAB extremeist groups to his fake “election”. HOW ABOUT THAT BLACK NATIONALIST, ANTI-WHITE, ANTI-AMERICAN PREACHER HE ATTENDED CHURCH WITH FOR 2O YEARS ???(IT DIDN’T TAKE THE PALIN’S 20 YEARS TO FIGURE OUT THE ALASKAN SEPARATISTS GROUP WAS A BAD IDEA.) THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST HE IS MARRIED TO AN OUT AND OUT BLACK PANTHER WANNA BE, WHO BELIEVES IN REPERATIONS AND BLACK SUPREMISTS IDEALOLGY.
YOU CANNOT SEE THE FOREST FOR YOUR BIAS TREES. OBAMA is merely the head of the snake. He is a plant operated by very anti-American dark forces back by Socialists and Communists and the ill informed like you who vote on “feelings” rather than facts can only take their bait fed to you about Palin. Shame on you for being so gullable and willing to overthrow your own country !!! Shame on you for being so stupid.

Palin differs with McCain on a lot of issues. That must be ticking gramps off a lot about now. She is so outspoken about it and saying “if it were my campaign, I would run it differently.”
The worst is that she keeps agreeing with Obama on foreign policy, oopsy.

Posted by: One Nation Under God | October 20, 2008, 10:09 am 10:09 am

ok, why is this a problem, this is her opinion and she is sticking to it, but she will not let it affect her governing, that is with most individuals in politics, they have their own personal beliefs but they don’t let that get in the way of governing. Just like the Abortion issue. I’m sure that there are many Dems that hate the idea of Abortion, but they don’t think that they have the right to judge those that have to make the decision. You people are always looking for something to malign this Lady. I prefer to have a VP that is not a yes man, than to have one that agrees with everything the President believes in even if he doesn’t.

Palin is the best example of the Howard Stern poll against Obama. It’s clear that Palin does not know where her running-mate (McCain) stands on issues. LOL

Posted by: Your Guide | October 20, 2008, 10:10 am 10:10 am

State level for abortion, Federal level for gay marriage.
If Abortion were at the state level, she’d be pushing it to be at the Federal level, just as she’s pushing gay marriage. If abortion were illegal at the Federal level she’s be saying it’s a perfectly fine law.
Her rule for being American is being just like her. No equality needed, we just all need to be alike with the same bias values.
She’s just pandering to get the religious vote to get out and vote… giving them something to go into their polling booths, so the Republican’s have chance.
I’m beginning to believe voting folks in office and voting in law changes should be done at different times. This would keep folks like Palin on track.

Posted by: whymelord | October 20, 2008, 10:10 am 10:10 am

Palin, the “maverick”, loves to kick everyone’s butt except her own.
As a “federalist”, she loves to see states decide on women’s right of abortion but not gay marriage.
There is definitely some consistency in her inconsistent positions, don’t you think?

As a feminist, I thought Sarah Palin might become a role model for other women to get involved with politics. However, after watching numerous Sarah Palin videos, I’m enranged with her policies. Palin is against women’s rights, and she does not have anything to offer for the United States. Please check out this site:
http://dailysource.org/palinvideos
This site has videos of her talking about foreign policy and also lots of other topics including the economy, energy, the environment, and the media. It’s got every interview andd nationally televised speech since she was picked, as well as every SNL skit and Daily Show report about her.

Posted by: annonymous | October 20, 2008, 10:13 am 10:13 am

Yes, I too bemoan the lack of education and critical thinking in the US, as evidenced by most posters here. Anyone who thinks about this realizes that MARRIAGE has to be handled FEDERALLY, because people move from state to state. Or, do you propose that a state that overwhelmingly opposes gay marriage will have to recognize a marriage when a couple moves there from Massachusetts?
A Federal law is REQUIRED when state-to-state reciprocity is required. Or, perhaps this is the intent of the leftists: Get at handful of states to enact Gay Marriage, then force it on the rest of the states through existing reciprocity law.

Posted by: Tom | October 20, 2008, 10:15 am 10:15 am

The Republicans always need a boogie man to scare their lemmings. Gay marriage is it. Hilarious! And it’s hardly a religious issue because cheery-picking Bible verses (without even knowing the Aramaic or Hebrew translations) is only for the most ignorant. If you want to follow the Bible, follow the Bible: marriage is about women being property. Read the book. Otherwise, it’s all about fear (a tactic that works only on the ignorant and the frightened Republican evangelicals who seem to know nothing about Jesus Christ, who he was and what he did here in Earth.) Maybe they should start doing something about feeding the poor, taking care of injustice, and equality…but that would mean they’d actually have to do something other than complain and hate.

Posted by: baker | October 20, 2008, 10:16 am 10:16 am

Palin’s comments make perfect sense to me. I don’t expect every politician to agree with every other politician on every issue, and McCain DOES have the problem of being a bit wishy-washy about issues regarding life and marriage. So does the rest of the Republican Party.
I’m glad to see a prominent politician defend a Culture of Life for change!

Posted by: John | October 20, 2008, 10:21 am 10:21 am

What this says is that Sarah Palin has something that is lacking in the rest of the politicans, backbone.

Posted by: Thomas Mc | October 20, 2008, 10:28 am 10:28 am

the main thing that this shows is that she has no overall philosophy or legal understanding of government. She contradicted her “federalist” statement because she really doesn’t know what it means. Her behavior in Troopergate and statements about legal issues shows that she deals with issues on a personal, emotional and visceral level, not on a thoughtful or analytical one. Bottom line, she doesn’t know the law, doesn’t know government, doesn’t know the world, and doesn’t seem to care about her ignorance. That McCain would put her a heartbeat away from the presidency is the final indictment of his fitness to be president himself.

Furthermore, I wish they would (sarah and todd) move to Russia because no one but these starved Republicans like her. No person with a brain likes her. She doesn’t know anything and if anything the liberal media has given her a pass. What about her abuse of power? her pregnant daughter? There are A LOT OF THINGS THAT CONCERN PEOPLE ABOUT SARAH PALIN AND HER OWN PARTY IS CALLING HER OUT SO WHY SHOULDN’T THE DEMOCRATS?

BEWARE.
Palin is very ambitious and very calculating. She s going to attempt overthowing McCain if she gets elected with McCain. She feels that she is the ‘celebrity’ and she draws the most people. Therefore she feels she has more political capital than McCain and will get ‘her’ constituency (the far right) to force McCain’s hand to agree with ‘her’ proposals.
If McCain and Palin get to the White House, it is Palin who will be in charge. D.A.N.G.E.R.O.U.S.

Why does ANY level of government need to involve itself in marriage? Why not make all the licensing (essentially a health regulation anyway) some neutral term (civil union?) and leave the defining of marriage to the religions? When government cannot or will not do what it’s supposed to do, it doesn’t help to inject it into moral issues that it isn’t capable of addressing (marriage, drugs, etc.)based on some false reading of US history that leads people to believe the law is supposed to impose judeo-Christian values as defined by such “luminaries” as the television evangelists. No wonder we are descending into a kleptocracy.

What I don’t understand about these positions is that if these people really, genuinely fear for “traditional marriage,” why ban gay marriage? Why not ban divorce? And why does no reporter ask them that? Gay marriage isn’t a threat to traditional marriage, divorce is!

Where is discrimination in a law that says that “marriage” is the union of a “man,” or, “male,” and a “woman,” or, “female”? Cuz those who claim to be homosexual are one of the two. There is no third sex, and, so, a man who claims to be homosexual is not precluded from marrying a woman who is heterosexual, or who claims to be homosexual, and vice versa. So, they are not denied, and everybody is treated alike. Thaaaank you.

Mr. Howard Gallas:
Perhaps you should do some self-educating before complaining about another’s alleged lack of education.
1. It would not necessarily take a Constitutional amendment to overturn Roe v. Wade. Given the right case and the right justices it could be overturned by a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court.
2. While Sarah Palin was not herself a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, she attended their annual conventions in 1994 and 2000. In 2006 she appeared at that convention to deliver a keynote address in person. In 2008, while governor, she recorded a video welcome message (easily found on the web) that encouraged the AIP to “Keep up the good work”.
3. While Reverend Wright has certainly criticized the U.S., he also served in the U.S. military for six years, first as a Marine and then in the Navy. As a medical technician in the Navy, Wright was assigned as part of the medical team charged with care of President Lyndon B. Johnson during his recovery from heart surgery. If he was so virulently anti-American, why didn’t he take advantage of that position to take out the POTUS?
The rest of your post nothing but unsubstantiated innuendo so is not worth much time. I am amazed that ACORN continues to be such a ridiculous bogeyman promoted by pretend conservatives. Yes, people working on their behalf cheat and fill in registration forms with bogus information. Do you understand that the law absolutely requires that ACORN turn in *all* the forms? Area you aware that ACORN pre-screens the forms before turning them in to the authorities and flags ones that it believes are most likely bogus? Do you understand that voter fraud only occurs if someone actually succeeds in voting on the basis of fraudulent information?
Right wing propagandists, please give it up. Your audience has left the building in disgust.

Fascinating that, yet again, no right-winger can yet respond to the question of why not ban divorce if you’re worried about traditional marriage being “under attack”? Or is that not convenient to your world-view?

There is no third sex. Only men and women, males an females, the subjects of laws that define “marriage” as the union of a “man,” or, “male,” and a “woman,” or, “female.” Everybody is covered, including those who claim to be homosexual, and they have the same opportunity to marry as the rest of us, no matter what they claim is their alternative-lifestyle orientation option choice.
So, in what way are those who claim to be homosexual denied what every other man and woman get?

Posted by: Mr. Incredible | October 20, 2008, 11:20 am 11:20 am

Hmmm, and why Sarah do you believe that marriage should be between only a man and a woman? Oh, because of YOUR RELIGION. So in other words, you want YOUR religion to be the one dictating federal law. One more reason not to vote for you. And yes, another poster said this up above, it is hilarious that the Republicans claim that they say “no” to Big Government and yet when it comes to two consenting adults getting married, oh, they suddenly want to get involved. So a Republican celebrity like Britney Spears can go to Vegas and have a fun little impromptu drunken wedding, or McCain get just dump his first wife so he can marry an heiress, and that’s a-OK. But same sex couples who have been together for years, no, the federal government should, in Sarah’s eyes, say “no way”. You know it’s funny, we liberals were asked not to make an issue of her daughter Bristol getting knocked up and marrying a high school dropout who said on his yanked Facebook or MySpace page (whatever) that he didn’t want to get married or have kids. But oh Sarah Palin feels that she has the right to stick her nose into the personal lives of gays and lesbians and tell them that they have no rights. Whatever Sarah, your divisiveness isn’t what this country needs right now, and that’s why your approval rating is lower than the other candidates.

==no right-winger can yet respond to the question of why not ban divorce if you’re worried about traditional marriage being “under attack”?==
Because, for one thing, the Word of God says that divorce IS an option, under the correct circumstances.
For antoher thing, there must be a mechanism to deal with irreconcilable differences between those individuals.
No, we know that that won’t satisfy you cuz you aren’t looking for an explanation.
By the way, where, in the Word, Jesus talks about divorce, He talks about it only in terms of “marriage” being the union of a man, as husband, and a woman, as the man’s wife. Heh.

Cuz God set it up that way.
== Oh, because of YOUR RELIGION.==
No, that would be like Islam. Christianity is a relationship, not a “religion.”
== So in other words, you want YOUR religion to be the one dictating federal law.==
The Word of God already is codified in so many ways.
== One more reason not to vote for you.==
Who cares? You weren’t gonna vote for her anyway. So, nothing lost.
==…it is hilarious that the Republicans claim that they say “no” to Big Government and yet when it comes to two consenting adults getting married, oh, they suddenly want to get involved.==
“Marriage” is “big government”????
The rest of your post is just another Lib rant, babbling and blubbering. You have the Right to say what you want, but we question whether what you say is worth listening to, or considering. The answer has to be “no.”

In the past two days alone, Palin has answered questions from her national press corps on three separate occasions. On Saturday, she held another plane availability, and on Sunday, she offered an impromptu press conference on the tarmac upon landing in Colorado Springs. A few minutes later, she answered even more questions from reporters during an off-the-record stop at a local ice cream shop.
By contrast, Biden hasn’t held a press conference in more than a month, and Obama hasn’t taken questions from his full traveling press corps since the end of September.
Remember when press availability meant the measure of a candidate? That would have been in September, when Democrats jeered at Palin for living in a bubble. She can’t handle the press, they said — how can she handle the job of a VP, or President, if necessary?
That smirking was entirely hypocritical at the time, and is even more so now. Obama has been famously resistant to media scrutiny. In one Texas appearance, Obama proclaimed frustration over having to answer more than eight questions. Biden, meanwhile, has disappeared after a series of gaffes that make Dan Quayle look like William F. Buckley.

Apparently, on Obama’s released tax records, he discloses income from speaking fees. The problem? Accepting payment for speaking fees when you’re a legislator is AGAINST Illinois state law.
Apparently, as an Illinois state legislator through 2004, Barack was PROHIBITED from taking honoraria for speaking under the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act.
But what about Barack Obama’s 2000 and 2002 tax returns?
2000: On his 2000 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported that he received $16,500 as a “Foundation director/Educational speaker.”
2001: On his 2001 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported $98,158 from a Chicago law firm, Miner, Barnhill, for “Legal services/attorney” (and nothing for speaking).
2002: On his 2002 Schedule C, Barack reported $34,491 for “LEGAL SERVCES / SPEAKING FEES.”
These “speaking fees” are in addition to the amounts that Barack was paid as an employee, a lecturer at the University of Chicago, reported on the first page of his 1040s.
That’s not change we can believe in.
Just to sum up, the media can find Joe the Plumber’s tax woes within 24 hours of his having dared to question The One’s narrative, but they can’t find a clear ethical violation in the released records of a man who has been campaigning for President for TWO YEARS now.

Sorry, irreconcilable differences is nowhere to be found. Followers of Jesus are expected to work out their differences. The only exception is if adultery has occurred by the offending party, in which case, the other spouse is free.
The divorce rate among “Christians” is as high, and in some cases higher, than that of non-Christians. There is no excuse for that.

The State has the power to decide whether it wants to be a party to a contract. If it doesn’t agree with the terms of the contract, it’s not required to become involved.
There is no interest the State has in being a party to a so-called “same-sex ‘marriage.’”
The State, therefore, has no interest in premarital sex in the sense that the State would not be party to any contract.

October 3, 2008 Vice-Presidential Debate:

Biden: No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We Do not support that. That is basically the decision to be able to be able to be left to faiths and people who practice thier faiths the determination what you call it.
he bottom line though is and I’m glad to hear the governor, I take her at word, obviously, that she think there should be not civil rights distinction, none whatsoever, between a committed gay couple and a committed heterosexual couple. If that’s the case, WE REALLY DON’T HAVE A DIFFERENCE……
Reading the previous comment made by Biden, I can come to only one conclusion, that all the attacks on Palin regrading this issue is simply based upon a bitter hate against sucessful repub women…I happen to be for gay marriage..not for me to judge another person life-style and if you are truly a christian you know who the judge be…I am a social lib however conservative economic and a HUGE supporter of our military…I will vote on national security issues…without it all else fails..

Marriage is a Civil Right. Religion and religious views need to stay out of it – except where deciding if they will sanction gay marriage at their own establishment.
Because you see, my religion has no problem with gay marriage. I was married this summer…so spiritually I am joined to my partner.
What bothers me is when one religious view tries to force their beliefs on the rest of us through civil/secular avenues. You don’t like gay marriage – then don’t sanction it in your church. Separation of Church and State gives you that right. But it also should provide protection for those of us from whom a particular religious sect would discriminate against. It is a citizen’s rights to enjoy all of the rights of being a citizen.

All those who claim to be homosexual are either men/male, or women/female. There is no third sex.

People like Sarah Palin can’t explain just how gay marriage would hurt marriage. They just repeat the claim over and over again, no facts, no reasoning. In Massachusetts gay marriage has had no effect on marriage. Nor has there been in Canada, Spain, or the Netherlands. Everyone has a right to his or her opinion, but not every opinion should be law. If there is no sound reasoning for government interference or regulation then the government should step aside. That is the real meaning of limited government. The American way is to limit the freedom of the individual by the government only when constitutionally and absolutely necessary. And banning gay marriage doesn’t fit that requirement. If it is your opinion or religious belief that two people of the same sex shouldn’t get married, then don’t marry somebody of the same sex. Social conservatives have a valid claim with abortion when they cite the rights of the unborn to life. It can (and will) be argued whose rights should be protected, the woman’s or the fetus’. But with gay marriage, social conservatives don’t have a constitutional or logical leg to stand on.

Honestly it’s like listening to Joyce Brothers – it all sounds great. But when you sit down think about it, it’s all babble. It’s incomprehensible to a thoughtful person. Is she a federalist or isn’t she regarding gay marriage. I guess she’s not. I mean, good God, at least express your views in a logical, coherent argument.

The reason we need a constitutional amendment defining marriage is because individual judges are deciding what the marriage policy is for each state. In the 3 states that have legalized homosexual marriage the decision was made by a judge and or judges and not by the people or their elected reps. When the people vote they vote against homosexual marriage. This is tyranny against the majority by the elite oligarchy of unelected liberal judges. Democrats now only believe in power. They have rejected democracy. They accept the idea of a totally biased press as long as the bias is in their favor. They accept voter fraud because all of the fraud is to help democrats get power. They accept unlimited money in elections when they raise more money. Obama is outspending McCaine 5 to 1 and yet is only a few points ahead. Does anyone believe that if a Republican was outspending a democrat 5-1 that the media would be really upset? Considering the favorable coverage the media gives to Obama the spending is about 50-1 in favor of Obama, and yet Obama is still having a hard time closing the deal. I feel sorry for democrats though. Especially moderate ones. They are going to realize in about 1 year that they elected Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and the most leftist people in America to govern America unchecked. Hang on for a bumpy ride.

Paul, I disagree. One can be married without religion being in the mix. It has been this way for a long time. Currently, one can go to a Justice of the Peace and have a marriage ceremony performed.
Marriage has its roots in both religious and secular worlds – however, religion should not dictate to the government and visa versa. If XYZ church does not want to approve, so be it… but there are religions, like my own that do approve.
Either way, Government should not base laws on religious view points. All citizens should enjoy the rights of every other citizen. I want to be legally married to my partner. There is no CIVIL reason the government should prohibit me. And because my religion approves of my relationship there is also NO RELIGIOUS reason.

Some issues need to be. Accusations of hypocrisy or erratic behavior because of this are simply exaggerated. Grow up already Democrats. And read this http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/biden-to-suppor.html and tell me why a candidate for public office would ever say anything like it?

Sarah Palin is no Christian.
To be a Christian is to be Christ like.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who hurt you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.”
Matthew 5:44 NKJV
Does Sarah Palin love her enemies, or does she abuse her power to remove them? Does she inspire hate at her rallies?
Prov 6:16,17
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Sarah Palin has lied repeatedly in this campaign. One of the most blatant when she was asked if she was guilty of ethics violations.
She also shed innocent blood. She put a bounty on certain animals, giving $150 for each front leg.
She is no Christian. When will the Religious Right open their Bibles and see she is no Christian.

There is no clause stating “Separation of Church and State” in the US Constitution Angie. It’s a fabrication of your judicial, left leaning colleagues. We are supposed to be free to practice the religion of our choice, and that includes those who run for public office. The only intent of the Constitution in this regard was to prevent the governments (Federal and State) from dictating religious choice by law or establishing a national or state religion.

Allowing gay people to marry each other would not affect you in any way. It would “impose” nothing on you. There would be no impact on your life whatsoever. There is no logical nor constitutional reason to ban gay marriage. In fact, your use of a religious argument only provides more of a constitutional case to allow gay marriage in order to protect the first amendment rights of those who believe their religion requires them to marry their partners. Simply put, it is unconstitutional to impose your religious beliefs on others who do not share them.

And it is absurd to argue that since a law applies to everyone it doesn’t discriminate. A law to ban the building of Baptist churches would be unconstitutional even though that law would apply to everyone. Mormons, Muslims, Jews, Catholics and Buddhists would not be allowed to build Baptist Churches. Even though such a law would apply to everyone, it would only affect Baptists. And that would make it unconstitutional.

I agree that a man claiming to be homosexual marrying a woman who also claims to be homosexual does not hurt, and they may now marry each other.
However, God is watching us, and, if we “allow” so-called “same-sex ‘marriage,’” He will hold it against us. So, we will never side with you cuz we would offend Him.

what democrats are trying to do is redefine the word “marriage”. Marriage is defined as the union of a man and a woman. That is what it means. The majority of people do not want to redefine this word. Democrats are unable to get the word redefined at the ballot box or in the legislative houses and so they use unelected judges, and then the democrats who appoint those judges like Obama and Biden can still claim they are against homosexual marriage. Hypocrisy.

There is no “Right” to marry.
However, using the lose version of “Rights,” I still say that everybody has the same “Right” to marry. The State doesn’t discriminate between, say, men who claim to be homosexual and those who are heterosexual, between those who are bank robbers and those who are not.

Asking to be able to marry my partner legally does not inflict anything on anyone else. What it does do, is make me legally responsible for my partner in both the eyes of the world and in the eyes of the law. It also grants me rights, like being able to be at her bedside should she be in the hospital, or taking care of her with my hard earned social security, should I pass before her.

You have the right to exercise your religious beliefs for yourself, not the right to impose them on others. If your religion bans same sex marriage then you are free not to marry some one of the same sex. Just as Roman Catholics cannot force John McCain to go back to being married to his first wife because Catholicism doesn’t allow divorce. Freedom of religion is an individual freedom. It cannot be used to force others to act in accordance with your religious beliefs.

The teachers union all across the country supports democrats 100% of the time and they have for decades. To even think that republicans are in charge of education is to be stupid, ignorant, and uninformed. It is so lopsided that Bush let Ted Kennedy write the education bill that Bush proposed. The only thing republicans got out of that bill is that there would be some kind of testing to make sure that public education is making progress is the basics (math & english)and not just in teaching global warming, sex education, The history of racist and evil America, and how wonderful life will be under messiah Obama.

Scientific studies show that approximately 10% of the human population is born homosexual. That is also true in the animal kingdom. So if God created the earth and all living things, then we must all be a part of his plan.

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

No, they don’t. There is no unbiased, uncorrupted, Science that says that.

Man is not an animal. God mad Man a spacial Creation, and He made Covenant with Man, not with animals.
There is no homosexuality in animals. What scientists see, when they think they see an animal seeming to get funky with another of the same sex, is a struggle for dominance.

Stan, you know nothing about California or the prop 8 situation. California is split between very liberal and very conservative areas. Notwithstanding this, prop 8 was going down until out of state groups such as the Morman Church began injecting money into the cause.
Also, the Catholic church is a corrupt entity that has been responsible for much violence throughout history. I would never support such an entity, and in fact, the corruption of the Catholic church was the reason for the historical separation for church and state. So stick your Catechism where the sun doesn’t shine and don’t impose it on me or anyone else with the intelligence to disagree with this so-called Christianity.
Sarah Palin is a vile, vapid upstart, but I have no fear that she will fade away. We are moving into a new era where the radicial religious right (see on this board) will have much less power again – people are starting to see the light, and the youth see through the corruption, lies, and hate.
And let’s let Sarah keep talking – as she unveils her particular platform, she sounds more and more like GW (our other major advocate for a constitutional amendment on marriage) … in fact I think he may be the only politician she actually listens to, which is certainly very scarey. Nonetheless, discerning, intelligent voters are making this connection as she speaks her hateful agenda. It could never be soon enough for me, but soon we will send her back to the Tundra – I feel bad for the people of Alaska, but certainly she has set herself up to be a one term governer as well. She is a hateful joke, but I am sorry that my gay and lesbian friends have have the indignity of her commenting on their lives, where are certainly none of her business. She should tend to her own family more – maybe she wouldn’t wind up with more pregnant, unmarried teens. Go home Sarah! Biden/Obama ’08/12

Education spawns liberalism. Universities and better education people are always the liberals who advocate change. You only need to look at where the challenges to governments have always come from. The governments squash student demonstrations the world over, Kent St, Mexico City, Bejing, etc. The facts are that conservatives are generally less questioning and not nearly as intelligent and educated as liberal counterparts. Republicans are the conservative side of our Nation. The philosophy does not accept science, or new ideas readily. They do not adapt as well and resist all change, preferring regression to “The good old days”.
Of course, I have actually witnessed several decades of world history and know this to be true. Even Pol Pot in his fascist take over executed everyone thought to be intellectual, going so far as to kill people who wore glasses as they were too intelligent and therefore a radical.
The GOP is fascist in nature and philosophy. The fact that conservatives look upon the use of power to influence enforcement of our laws goes against all democratic basics. The persecution of a state trooper for a personal vendetta or the firing of a prosecuter for bring a cas against a political ally, undermines the fabric of our Nation. How can an officer enforce the law when a single politican can have them fired ? This misunderstanding of the democratic process is the scariest.

Why aren’t you talking about the fact that Sarah Palin has refused to do any interviews on the Sunday news shows (even though doing those interviews are par for the course when you’re running for office). Why aren’t you talking about the fact that Sarah Palin’s husband was a member of a group that wanted to secede from the U.S.? Why aren’t you talking about the fact that members of John McCain’s own party are questionining his judgment in choosing Sarah Palin for his V.P. pick? You people are the party of denial. All you know how to talk about is what’s totally irrelevant. I hope soon you will be as well.

Mr. Incredible you asked “marriage is big government?” in your response to me above. Have you even read the article that you’re responding to? Sarah Palin says that she wants to add an amendment to the constitution that says that marriage should be between a man and a woman. So yes, she would make marriage a FEDERAL issue, aka an issue for Big Government. Oh, and by the way, even though you said nobody cares about what I have to say about the issue, thanks for taking the time to dissect my post. Peace out.

Prop. 8 on California’s ballot, if it’s successful, would overturn the State Supreme Court’s ruling that says gay people in the state of California can marry. One of the outspoken critics of the measure appears in a Yes on Prop. 8 campaign ad (a “law” professor at Pepperdine University). In today’s Recorder (a Ca. legal newspaper) a well respected parter at Morrison & Foerster had this to say:
This is a one-sided debate that is addressed to you, Richard Peterson. You have listed yourself as a faculty member of Pepperdine University School of Law and you have, as is your right under the First Amendment, broadcast your views throughout the state in a pro-Proposition 8 advertisement.
I wrote you a polite letter and I asked you to debate the measure but I have heard nothing and I take it you’re not going to respond. Therefore, if you don’t mind, I would like to express to you and anybody who reads this my thoughts on the points that you make and what’s wrong with them. In my view, your points are deeply flawed, misleading and, at times, an attempt to play on the fear of the viewer unfairly.
Here goes:
First, in California, when there are two people who are in love and who are committed to each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together, they should have, as declared under the law, every right to be married like anybody else.
In support of Prop 8, you have falsely suggested that churches would have a tax problem if the initiative were not passed. Prop 8 should be defeated and its defeat will not cause any problem to churches. Churches have the protection of the First Amendment. They are free to marry or not marry anyone they wish and they would not lose their tax-exempt status as you suggest. Your point is unworthy of a law professor.
In a similar vein of attempting to frighten people, you have suggested that somehow, if Prop 8 does not pass, little children will be taught about same-sex marriage in school, and that this will be bad for them. As others have pointed out, there is no requirement that schools have to teach anything about marriage, and furthermore, whatever is taught will be determined by the local school boards.
I would have thought, sir, as I assume you are a religious person, that you understand and have indeed taught that God has made all of us, not just some of us. If we are in God’s image, then we must accept all of God’s children. This is fundamental and you should accept it.
With regard to your religion, it has no place in the California Constitution, just as I am sure that you would not want me to enshrine my religion in our state’s laws. I not only respect your religion, but have, in court, defended people’s right to practice their religion. But it still should not be put into the Constitution.
You have presented yourself as a law professor and indeed you are, but the courses you’ve taught seem to have nothing to do with the Constitution. You are not, as far as I can determine, a person who has studied the constitutional law of this country, taught it, or litigated it in cases involving it. Perhaps I am wrong, but your school Web site’s biography does not show it. Therefore, as you present yourself as an expert in the California Constitution, I would seriously question your credentials to do that.
Your commercials attack the judges of California. This is despicable for a number of reasons. One, you are a law professor and you know better. Two, they cannot answer you, they cannot fight back because it’s against the rules that govern judges and you know that. More important is the fact that those judges did what they thought was right under the law and they deserve your respect and the respect of the people of California. They are learned, they are studious and they believe that people in California under the Constitution are entitled to equality and equal rights. It is one of the most fundamental constitutional principles that govern and indeed protects all of us.
Equality itself involves the rights of citizens and the rights of minorities. As many Californians are minorities, this is fundamental to any understanding of our Constitution. As a lawyer, I am sure you have been told this many times. So the suggestion that the majority should be allowed to oppress a minority or to deny a minority equal protection is one that you ought to know is not governed by the California Constitution and should not be.
Further, you should know that U.S. Supreme Court authority says that you can not write discrimination into a state constitution. There are cases that have held exactly that, which would mean that Prop 8 would be a dead letter.
The history of marriage includes the history of using it as a weapon against unpopular or despised groups. I could give you many precedents and if we ever do debate, sir, I would be happy to suggest a few to you where certain groups were not allowed to marry as a manifestation of social opprobrium. This history has, for example, included race until it was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court and the California Supreme Court. Before it was struck down, a white person could not marry a black person. That sad history should not be resurrected in Prop 8 and that is one of the reasons this initiative should be defeated.
The people that you attempt to discriminate against are our friends, our neighbors, our colleagues. They are people who pay taxes, they are people who fight and die in our military, they serve in our police forces and our fire departments. In every way possible they participate in our society and our culture. They do everything that they can as citizens of California, and yet you want to put it in the Constitution that they be denied a fundamental right, the important right of marriage which is so central to one’s life.
Sir, there is not enough love in this world and what love there is should be nurtured and not opposed by a state government and certainly by a state constitution.
There are a lot more arguments but these will have to suffice. I am voting no on Prop 8 and I am asking anybody I can find to do the same.
If you ever want to debate this issue before Nov. 4, please let me know.
Very truly yours,
Jim Brosnahan
Simply put — if this prop. wins, the lawsuit is ready to be filed on Nov. 5th to strike it down. The Constitution (whether federal or state) is for the protection of all citizens, not just the few who would try and make it their own voice.

Fact is conservatives are not against government, we just want less of it and especially less intrusive government. The reason we need a constitutional amendment is because other institutions of government ( the courts ) are overstepping their authority and making laws that the majority disagree with. The legislatures of the 3 rogue states are refusing to stop a couple of judges. Our only recourse to stop the spread of redefinition of marriage by rogue judges is a constitutional amendment. Since democrats do not believe in democracy this is our only recourse.

Incredible does believe that borrowing someone’s handle in an open forum is FORGERY!Somehow he also knows that this form of IDENTITY THEFT is only practiced by liberals.
Incredible doesn’t believe that the party we’re going to have after all the holy ones get raptured up to heaven is going to be worth sticking around for. Would he change his mind if we gave him the names of the bands we have lined up? I don’t know, but if anyone leaks them and he decides to stay I’m going to be really annoyed.

I wish folks like independent realist and his pals ObamaBiden would stop quoting the Bible since they clearly show their ignorance of it. The left is constantly quoting the Bible and holding rallies in churches and then they cry separation of church and state. Yes God is Love, but the Bible also says He is Holy, He is Just, He is Righteous, He Creates. Libs like to pick and choose the attributes of God they like and discard the ones they don’t. That is call Idolatry (creating a false god) and guess what, God Hates Idolatry more than anything. Yes, your fellow idol worshiper Obama may win the election, but he won’t be able to avoid judgment day, and neither will you.

Uhmm… John, Matthew, Peter, James, Jude were all first hand witnesses of Jesus. Paul was blinded by Jesus on the road to Damascus. Fact is, the only New Testament writer who did not, as far as we know, have a first hand encounter with Jesus was Luke. There are not any books left out that should be there. The books that you want in the NT were frauds, hoaxes, and not words spoken by God. The churches knew what books were from God and which ones were from gnostics and other cultists. Typical liberal, trying to tell us what our beliefs should be. Maybe if folks like independent realist would become educated about history and church history there could be some intelligent discussion.

Indep Realist…. You may notice I don’t say Go McCaine or Go Palin. The election will not have any impact upon my life. This thread was begun talking about marriage and who has the right to define it. People like you say (liberal socaialist) that a person like me (christian conservative) has no right to define marriage. Marriage already has a definition and the vast majority of people around the world throughout history know and have known the definition: one man and one woman. It is you who are attempting to redefine a word for your own value system and you want to use the power of the state to force citizens such as myself to accept you redefinition. Since you are unable to get the majority of citizens and their representatives to agree with you, instead you find a few unelected judges to redefine marriage. Our only recourse is a constitutional amendment to stop you.

Newsflash – the gay marriage debate will be over in 10 years. It will be allowed everywhere just as biracial marriage is now allowed. I implore those against gay marriage not to blame gays and lesbians for your failed marriages, educations and abilities. I only assume you have failed at these because those who have wonderful marriages, like me, would not want to deny that right two any other adult individuals who love eachother.

Obama’s excuse for supporting partial birth abortion, is for the safety of the “Mother.” Huh?? Say that again? To perform this kind of abortion, the abortionist, goes in and turns the baby around, so that the feet come out first. Just before the head pops out, the baby is stabbed by a scissors in the back of the head, and his/her brains sucked out. Now, I ask you…If the baby is already born, other than the head, how is this a health risk for the “Mother?” The baby is already out!!! Who’s kidding who? It’s nothing less than murder…and we all know it. So, let’s stop with the cutesy words, and call it what it is. Even secular scientists, now agree that life begins at conception. Abortion is murder! It’s the taking of an innocent life! Whose body are they talking about? It’s the baby’s body that suffers, not the so called “Mother’s,” body.

Malachi 2:15 [AMP] explains that the purpose of the union of a man, as husband, and a woman, as his wife, is the production of Godly children. Assuming, for the moment, that God says that so-called “same-sex ‘marriage’” is also Godly, where does He say it?

Most member of the far right believe that the federal government should not interfere with the decisions of states….except when the state decisions are in conflict with their own points of view (e.g., gay marriage, medical marijuana).

Their next step is violence. If Obama does not win they are going to burn down their own homes and the businesses in their own neighborhoods. And the cry that their aren’t any banks or grocery stores near them. Comparing the homosexual marriage debate to bi-racial marriage is so silly.

Of course it is. The mixed marriage is STILL the union of a man, as husband, and a woman, as his wife, completely aligned with the Word of God.
In the so-called “same-sex ‘marriage,’” who is the husband and who is the wife?

Taylor, I think Mccain’s record is that he is for a limited interpretation of “woman’s health” so that it will not include later-term abortion and outside-the-womb viability. Otherwise, he has indicated in the past he would NOT try to overturn Roe v. Wade (maybe that is a nod to moderates?). Lately however, his statements have moved more conservative, but not enough. Maybe Palin is the balance. Just my thoughts.

The marriage license issued by the state is a legally binding contract.
It has nothing to do with religion.
The state define the terms of this contract.
If you do not like the terms, then you negotiate to change those terms.
Unfortunatly there are too many people who do not understand the rule of law.
Most of these ignorant people are loud mouth religionists.

Hey Wayne I actually agree that “if you don’t agree you negotiate for a new contract”. I have no problem if democrats want to have the people vote for homosexual marriage, or even their elected reps. I can oppose them on the issue and if I lose then I lose. But democrats instead claim they are against homosexual marriage and appoint liberal judges to overturn referendums and legislatures and order states to allow for homosexual marriage against the will of the majority. Democrats have shown they do not believe in democracy. And if Obama Pelosi Reid win and RULE then we shall truly see liberalism at it’s finest. Give it a year though. The first year will be devoted to blaming all problems on Bush…jusy like Clinton did. Democrats will not allow a repeat of 1994 elections though. Look for new election laws in favor of incumbants to be enacted within the next year. Hang on, it’s going to get bumpy.

Who is in charge of the McCain campaign? Isn’t it time that McCain or Palin’s handlers tell her that she is not the presidential candidate?
This is the third or fourth time in recent weeks that Palin has publicly taken a position opposed to McCain’s. If you regard a campaign as a job tryout, this does not bode well for a McCain administration.
If McCain is elected, Palin will be a loose cannon, firing out all sorts of right-wing fundie cr*p at variance with McCain’s policy.
At this point, McCain has nothing to lose. He should ditch the insubordinate Palin and select the running mate he should have selected nearly two months ago: a qualified, educated, intelligent, and responsible adult who understands that he or she is not in charge…yet.

Both Obama and Biden also has said that marriage should be between a man and a woman. It has been proven that some gay couples who were married in MA or CA and are living elsewhere, are having difficulties getting a divorce because their states do not recognize their marriage. So having the marriage of the gay couples as law is not going to work on a state to state basis.

George – one answer – repressed homosexuality and voyerism because they are so unsatisfied by their lousy sex lives that they have to fantasize about others, esp gay couples.

Someone actually wrote that “no one wants to see two women making out in public”!
What is this country coming to?
I’m betting that whoever wrote that is more than a little light in the loafers, if you know what I mean.

eternal vigilance,
No one supporting gay marriage wants to recruit you or anyone else to homosexuality. As if that were even possible: Being gay is like being left-handed or having red hair. It is an inherent characteristic of a significant minority of human beings.
How does recognizing the right of gay people to marry harm the institution of marriage? If gay people can legally wed, is your marriage automatically dissolved? Are you forced to marry a member of your own sex?
Isn’t divorce harmful to marriage? Shall we ban divorce? Isn’t the choice of many people to remain unmarried a threat to marriage? Shall we then force everyone to marry?
I urge you need to separate the two different aspects of marriage. One is a civil contract, which each state requires of every married couple. The other is a religious rite, which is legally optional, but which most couples want. No churches or synagogues or mosques or temples will be obliged to perform marriage services to anyone who asks. They aren’t required to do that now.
You may not think that homosexuality and heterosexuality are equal. That is your right. However, in matters of law, gay people are increasingly winning equal rights, and eventually, the right for gay people to marry will be recognized.

From Alaska, Palin shamelessly courted the media and Washington Republicans. She hired Washington Lobbyists from Wasilla for gosh sakes. This woman is anything but an unassuming hockey mom. She is driven. And so far, I haven’t seen anything she won’t do to get what she wants.

Mr. Incredible,
Do you know who Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan is – or rather, was? He was a Muslim American who was only 14 years old when 9/11 happened. This brave young man from Manahawkin, N.J., was killed in Iraq on Aug. 6, 2007. He received the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for making the ultimate sacrifice for his (that would be your) country, and his remains are buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Now. You are all “Hussein” this and “Hussein” that when referring to Obama – the insidious insinuation being that Obama is a Muslim, Muslims destroyed the World Trade Center, and therefore Obama is a traitor to this country (along with being a Communist, Socialist, the Antichrist, etc.).
How do people like Specialist Khan fit into your world? Do you derisively mock him as well?
And one more question: in the parable of the Good Samaritan, if the assaulted man lying on the ground was a homosexual, or, God forbid, Barak Obama (you know, “Hussein”), who would you have acted like – the priest, the Levite, or the Samaritan?

I completely agree with Sarah Palin about this! Homosexuality is sin! The Holy Bible calls it an abomination! Our country is sinful enough as it is! The day that we recognize gay marriages will be the day that our country will be doomed! Remember Sodom and Gomorrah?

Sarah Palin is for states rights, the separation of state and federal government. A state can adjust to the people of a state better than the federal government. The federal government is a goliath that needs trimming down and more power should go to the states.
That which is good for Maine is not always good for Florida and that which is good for Ohio may not be good for California. That is why the decision for gay marriages should go to the states and not mandated by the federal government. The Mormons settled in Utah to have a better life in that which they believe. So should it be for others to decide what is good for their state.
The states could even be further defining counties that have gay marriages or other religious preference. It is not the right of a FREE people to impose their will on people that intend no harm. People do not understand that people are gay because it is Gods way. People do not choose to be gay or not to be gay.
Being gay is the way a person is born.
Just so, you know that I am straight and I always enjoy the company and sex with a woman. However, that is Gods way and I would never impose the way I choose to live on other people. It is time for all people to open their minds, open their hearts to the gay people everywhere, and let the gays live as they choose to live.
No to the terrorist that support Obama.

carlyonsue: Sodom and Gomorrah
The story’s morality, as a whole, has been called into question, not just specifically the debate concerning whether or not it condemns homosexuality.
Lot’s daughters are offered by their father to an angry mob to be gang raped, Lot’s wife is turned into a pillar of salt for looking behind her and both daughters have sex with their father, each becoming pregnant and delivering healthy children. Critics argue that a story that includes condoned incest, a father offering his daughters for gang rape, the destruction of cities, and the killing of a mother for looking behind her cannot be used to justify condemning homosexuals. These critics argue that those who attempt to justify condemnation of homosexuality with this story willfully and unfairly ignore the incest and rape. This idea, however, assumes that simply because an event is recorded, it is condoned, and that a choice between two evils requires endorsing the lesser evil as good in and of itself. The inclusion of the “don’t turn around” idea from classical antiquity has been used to argue that the story is folklore, rather than the literal recording of events.

I think Palin would make a Fabulous President!
Why doesn’t the news pick a part obama the way they do her?

Carlyonsue – Did you get permission from your husband to speak out in public as required by the Bible? Do you support the return of slavery since Paul said “Slaves obey your masters?” I’m guessing like Palin you pick the position that best supports your worldview and ignore anything that doesn’t. The #1 sin in the Ten Commandments is to have no other God before me. Well, you’re playing God by decreeing who is and isn’t going to hell. That’s God’s job thank you. Now would you mind moving over? You’re standing between me and the throne of God. I know God, I grew up with God. You Carly, are no God…

Jude – As a Republican I have to ask… are ya kiddin’ me? Fox news did a full half hour news broadcast throwing out everything they could about him. Rush Limbaugh has been on a tear from the beginning. I know a heck of a more about Obama than I do Sarah Palin. How can we vote for a candidate who won’t even have a decent press conference? The others arent’ afraid to face the media, what’s her issue? I’m going to elect someone to stand up to terrorists who can’t even face the press? We lose all credibility when you say things like that.

SORRY JUDE! That was intended for Juanita Ross. So very sorry about that.

Palin’s opponents are wailing because she speaks the truth. Marriage is and was meant to be between a MAN and a WOMAN. Not between two men so that they can have anal sex or two women so that they can perform cunnilingus on one another. This Country is sick and is headed for eternal damnation. Have fun now fornicating and engaging in this sick behavior. President Obama or not, this Country will face judgement. Christ is coming, and he isn’t swayed by your liberally driven pollsters. You will reap what you have sown, we all will.

RaginModerate: For your information I don’t have a husband. I’ve never married. If I had one, yes I’d consult him! Since I don’t have one and I’m over 21 years old and I don’t have a father or brother to consult, I am free to speak out whenever I want to! To answer your question about whether I would approve of slavery. You are just being stupid when you ask that! No I don’t approve of slavery! No one has the right to own another human being! Besides I don’t know what slavery has to do with homosexuality! Another thing I know I’m not God and I don’t decree who is or isn’t going to hell! The Holy Bible does that! I just tell what the Bible says! If you aren’t living the way that the Bible teaches, then that’s your fault, not mine! You are just mad at me because you feel condemned! You know that you’re living in sin!

At least Palin has a backbone and doesn’t back down from her beliefs of marriage.
Marriage is supposed to be between Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

Following are several reasons why I am voting Democrat. If you take a moment to read them, it may help you make up your mind on how to vote.
I am voting Democrat because I am absolutely delighted with the way the
Democrats have run congress these past two years including the increase in
fuel prices, the unemployment, and their support of all kinds of political
fringe groups.
I am voting Democrat because I believe in rights, not responsibilities.
I am voting Democrat because t hat gives me the right to kill millions of
babies. Everyone should have the right to kill or enslave those that they
consider inferior or less than human.
I am voting Democrat because I firmly believe that all American newspapers
and TV shows are accurate and totally fair to both parties and their
candidates.
I am voting Democrat because they tell me that I can now marry whoever and
whatever I want. Hence, I have decided to marry my horse.
I am voting Democrat because I believe in separation of church and state.
People should be prohibited from following the Ten Commandments.
I am voting Democrat because I believe that we should listen to what
individual groups want rather than do what is best for our country and
society.
I am voting Democrat because I do not want change. It is John McCain and
Sarah Palin who want to bring back morals in America .
I am voting Democrat because Democrats keep increasing the minimum wage and increasing regulations, forcing companies and jobs to move to other
countries. If we keep this up, none of us will have to work because there
will be no jobs and the government can support us all.
I am voting Democrat because I think that those that break the law should be
rewarded and those that adhere to the law should be punished. Illegal aliens
should receive government aid, hospital services, education and social
services for free while those who followed the immigration law, paid the
appropriate fees, and went through the proper immigration procedures should
work to pay for these things.
I am voting Democrat because English has no place being the official
language in America .
I am voting Democrat because it is better to turn corn into fuel than it is
to eat.
I am voting Democrat because I would rather pa y $4 for a gallon of gas than
allow drilling for oil off the coasts of America .
I am voting Democrat because I think the government will do a better job of
spending my money than I could.
I am voting Democrat because when we pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq , I know the Islamic terrorists will stop trying to kill us because they think we are a good and decent country.
I am voting Democrat because I believe people who cannot tell us if it will rain in two or three days, can now tell us the polar ice caps will disappear in ten years if I do not start riding a bicycle, build a windmill or inflate my tires to proper levels.
I am voting Democrat because I believe that businesses in American should
not be allowed to make profits. Businesses should just break even and give
the rest to the government so politicians and bureaucrats can redistribute
the money they way they think it should b e redistributed.
I am voting Democrat because I believe guns, and not the people misusing
them, are the cause of crimes and killings.
I am voting Democrat because when someone with a weapon threatens my family or me, I know the government can respond faster through a call to 911 than I can with a gun in my hand.
I am voting Democrat because it is obscene for oil companies to make 5%
profit on a gallon of gas but OK for the government to tax 18% on that same
gallon of gas.
I am voting Democrat because I believe that three or four elitist liberals
should rewrite the Constitution every few months to suit some fringe element
that could never get their agenda past voters.
I am voting Democrat because John McCain and Sarah Palin are both strong
family people. We need to eliminate families because they teach people to do
what is best for society instead of what we want.
And, lastly, I am voting Democrat because I think it is a great idea to send
Democrat staff to Alaska to look for dirt on Sarah Palin and her family to
smear her reputation rather than talk about the real issues for voters.
Makes you wonder why anyone would ever vote Republican, doesn’t it?

I would like it known that it is very clear that Zeus does indeed support gay marriage. How anyone can think Jehovah, that little Sinai Peninsula fire god has more say than Zeus is beyond me! I am affronted spiritually by this incessant chatter about this minor gods opinion. This country was founded on the Greco-Roman ideals of Democracy and Republicanism. These were gifted by the Olympic gods to us through Prometheus! Keep those Arab gods in Arabia!

I agree with “Palin has a backbone”! Marriage, and sex, is supposed to be between a man and a woman. Not two men or two women! If God had intended Adam to have sex with another man He would have made Eve to be another man!

I’ll tell you what: why do we leave her alone? She speaks from both sides of her mouth and she is a complete drag on Mccain. By picking her Mccain thought that would win over females votes, BUT NO. she does not represent what the bulk of women want. After all the negative attack on OBAMA, she decided to go soft yesterday in NEVADA accusing Obama of being an agent against women concern. HOWEVER HER DOUBLE STANDARD COULD NOT GO UNOTICED: ACTUALLY Sarah Palin told CNN’s Griffin that “her role as VP would be to reform the gov’t/fight for energy independence/special needs children” BUT THAT WAS A CLEAR CONTRADICTION OF WHAT SHE SAID IN COLORADO WHEN SHE TOLD 9NEWS THAT “she opposes amendment 5’1 on our ballot that would provide services to special needs children througha one cent sales tax increase on every 10$ spent for the next two years” what do you make of that guys? I am for it before against it? She just proves she would say anything to……but not this time. no way

to me McCain is not a conservative and I would have never voted for a fake conservative but after Palin came along, she changed my mind and I am voting McCain because of Palin.
I like to see Liberals fret over Palin…You go girl and I will vote for you again for 2008 Presidential election. We the republican party will finally go back to our roots with Palin’s leadership!!!!!!! True conservatism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!all the Liberals better run to Europe or Canada.
