I'm so geeked by how well he's answering Bush's pathetic distraction of anti-gay amendment to the US CONSTITUTION.

I really feel people are fed up with the deceiver in chief. I really hope some hopeless idealists hold their noses and vote for Kerry. I like him but I realize others don't.

Let's send bush back to the AA meetings and baseball games.

Kerry statement yesterday on Bush proposal for Federal Amendment to the Constitution against gay marriage


“I believe President Bush is wrong. All Americans should be concerned when a President who is in political trouble tries to tamper with the Constitution of the United States at the start of his reelection campaign.

“This President can’t talk about jobs. He can’t talk about health care. He can’t talk about a foreign policy, which has driven away allies and weakened the United States, so he is looking for a wedge issue to divide the American people.

“While I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, for 200 years, this has been a state issue. I oppose this election year effort to amend the Constitution in an area that each state can adequately address, and I will vote against such an amendment if it comes to the Senate floor.

“I believe the best way to protect gays and lesbians is through civil unions. I believe the issue of marriage should be left to the states, and that the President of the United States should be addressing the central challenges where he has failed – jobs, health care, and our leadership in the world rather than once again seeking to drive a wedge by toying with the United States Constitution for political purposes.”

4. Thanks for links. Kerry sounds good, How do we fight this...

This is interesting and I know now, why Bush is willing to flip flop his own states rights stance to the stupid Gay Amendment. It's all a dazzling repuke (so Rovian plan) to make Kerry and the Dem's look like twinkle toes for the public to vote on.

I know its a Repuke source (Sorry). But it shows their plan in a nutshell...

<snip>

What will happen after May 17, when Massachusetts begins to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples? Hundreds, even thousands, of gay couples will pour into Massachusetts, get married, return to their states, and begin to agitate for recognition of their marriages. This huge media event will play out continuously for two months before the Democratic National Convention — in Boston — on July 26. All this will cement the connection in the public mind between gay marriage, Massachusetts liberals, John Kerry, activist judges, and the Democratic party.
