Or as a member of the GLBT community... voting for McCain is slapping yourself in the face.

Sounds like a Republican to me.

I don't care how old or young a politician is. I care that they are looking out for the rights of all Americans and working to ensure that all Americans have a livable wage, adequate housing, and good healthcare.

Our "inalienable rights" don't depend upon what the masses think

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:57:00 -0700

Barack's a wonderful man. A few weeks ago while driving to work I was inspired with this idea about him: He's a trojan horse full of what America needs to heal, to move on to our true beautiful destiny as a very great nation that will help heal the entire planet. Greatness doesn't mean military power or religious affiliation. It refers to our nation's spiritual maturity, and how we express it. It refers to the degree to which we do whatever is necessary to bring about prosperity, true justice for all, and happiness for all beings. If we elect him, we'll be taking the next important step toward our spiritual destiny.

Our Declaration of Independence affirms that all people have "inalienable rights." No presidential decree, act of Congress, or voter referenda can interfere with rights that are "INALIENABLE," which means irremovable. To do so is illegal and monstrous from the start. Look up the meaning of the word "inalienable." Go read the Declaration of Independence. What voters think doesn't matter, because they have no authority to interfere with rights that are sealed and guaranteed. If they don't agree with that, then they should reconsider whether they want American citizenship. Citing poll results to cozy people up to the idea that gays should have rights may be very well-meaning, but they still don't change the fact that all Americans have certain universal, natural born rights, God-given, not society-given.

credibility

Wasn't this story found out to be a "crock" like her "dodging bullets" in Bosnia? Wow. If anyone else was telling these woppers, they'd be "run out of town on a rail" as the expression goes. She tells such a bizarre story, and then just says "I mispoke" and thats the end of it? But then we learned from ol Billy Boy that the Clintons have a strange veiw of "truth."

I absolutely agree with Al

I absolutely agree with Al Gore. This is the first truly Christian opinion I've heard on the subject in a long time.Good for you Al!

Either of them is infinitely better than any Republican

Although your point is well taken that Clinton has won the big blue states that are so critical in the general election, it is sloppy reasoning and overly alarmist to state that all of the Clinton supporters in those states will stay home if Obama is the Democratic nominee.

First of all many Democratic primary voters have had an extremely hard time making a choice between Clinton, Edwards, and Obama. For once we have faced a surfeit of good candidates. The decision FOR one does NOT necessarily mean a stance AGAINST the other. I -- and virtually every other Democrat I know -- will be thrilled to have either Clinton or Obama over any Republican, and we fully intend to vote for whichever of them runs against McCain.

Secondly, the reverse of your alarm is even more likely (and more concerning). And that is that Obama has drawn new and younger voters, by the hundreds of thousands, into the political process this year. They are excited and energized by his candidacy and will be greatly disappointed if he does not win. As a result, I fear a great many of them may return to their disillusionment and apathy. And a mass influx of younger generation voters is exactly what LGBT Americans need if we are ever to attain equal rights in our lifetime. Unfortunately, Obama supporters are the ones who may be much more inclined than Clinton supporters to stay home in November if Obama is not in the race, which doesn't bode well for Democrats -- or for our civil rights.

I will whole-heartedly vote for either of them and can only hope that every other registered Democrat will do the same.

no f*ing way

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 06:39:26 -0800

massachusetts, california, new york....

did you just say these people would stay home or vote republican rather than elect obama?

you are out of your mind. im excited to watch you be wrong in 9 months.

Unfortunately, Obama's camp

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 23:56:54 -0800

Unfortunately, Obama's camp will hand the election to McCain. Right now, polls show Obama with a slight edge over McCain, but it's going to be a long time until November, and Republicans are very good at tearing someone down, making things up if they need to.

Obama is winning caucuses, not primaries. There is a huge difference, unfortunately Obama's supporters are all so young, they don't see the bigger picture. They don't know what that means. He won Idaho, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, et. al. He might have got the most Democratic votes in those states, but during the general election, those states always go red, so his victory in those states is moot.

The big blue states, Florida, California, Michigan, New York, et. al. have all gone Hillary.

These people will stay home on election day, if Obama is the nominee or will cross over to vote for 'liberal' McCain.

Obama has a better platform of support for LGBT issues

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 14:48:18 -0800

The quote about Obama being handsom and well meaning is preceded in the article by this important point ....

It's hard for Obama to match that history, even though his LGBT platform is similarly progressive to Hillary's. (In fact, Obama's is actually better, since he supports a full repeal of DOMA, and Clinton just wants to remove many of its restrictions.)

Thank God for a man with reason!

Finally - someone who understands the difference between a religious ceremony and a contract with the state! Hopefully what he says will sink into the hearts of those who are committed to the bill of rights and the constitution: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal ..."

What are ya gonna do?

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 06:15:20 -0800

Hillary's got the machine to work a decent Presidency - but Barack has the inspirational (modern) way of thinking that will morph us into a more accepting United States.
