Palin breaks with McCain on gay marriage amendment

"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. I wish on a federal level that's where we would go. I don't support gay marriage," Palin said.

that is unfair for others who share a faith in God and choose to worship our Lord in whatever private manner that they deem fit

I do not think this means what she thinks it means.

"whatever private manner"

Privacy is, of course, a matter selective and subject to Sarah Palin's whims.

Oh lord. I wish people would stop overstating the Weather Underground. I know I run the risk of trivializing the matter, and I'm not actually sure how I feel about their course of action, but I can at least say they specifically avoided blowing up people.

I WAS going to try & reply to this with a bit more decorum & perhaps a little fact, but you know . . . no.

So in conclusion, FUCK OFF BITCH. The idea of someone like her, who can say such cruel things ONE.SINGLE.STEP from being in the Oval Office really does nauseate me.

I hope she gets reincarnated as a moose in her next life. LET'S SEE HOW SHE LIKES IT.

She said she believed traditional marriage is the foundation for strong families.

I forsee her daughter wanting a divorce in a few years time, yes.

[nonelvis]

Every time I see idiots pushing the "traditional marriage is the foundation for strong families" argument, I want to push my perfectly happy, perfectly child-free marriage in front of their faces to remind them that marriage is by no means equivalent to "family." And then I remember that intelligence and logic play no part in the "traditional marriage" argument, and I get really, really cranky.
