Am I right in thinking that, if issues such as gay marriage and abortion did not exist, Dems could keep a perpetual hold on the White House? Wouldn’t it be in everyone’s best interest to try to resolve these issues once and for all, instead of allowing them to remain ammunition for republicans who are hell-bent on destroying the freedoms we have? There will always be a large portion of Americans that will never accept a free-for-all, over-the-counter abortions for everyone. And, in time, they will take away a woman’s right to choose.

All or nothing.

Is there a middle ground… another way of thinking, that can solve our problems? Isn’t it worth thinking about and talking about? I don’t think the dems/libs are in the wrong here. But I do see right-wing Christians kicking our Constitution in the ribs, and I don’t see them stopping until it’s lying spread out on the floor dead.

Edwards Can’t Get Across Gay Marriage Bridge

(Portsmouth, New Hampshire) Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards was asked about his position on same’sex marriage at a town hall meeting Friday in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

“Civil unions? Yes. Partnership benefits? Yes,” he said. “But it’s a jump for me to get to gay marriage. I haven’t yet got across that bridge.”

“I wish I knew the right answer,” he said after one member of the overflow audience booed.

LGBT civil rights groups say they will press all of the candidates for their positions on same’sex marriage. But in New Hampshire, with its all important primary, civil unions play better than same’sex marriage.
