Somerfrost,
You might have heard that Romney tried to float a trial balloon in an attempt to run for gov in NY last spring. It sank like a stone.
For sure, the folks in Provincetown won't take kindly to his latest ploy.
Sure, ga-y bashing plays well with some. As if it's their business.
The Repubs need to consider what they're really doing. Many see "right" through it.
Can we have a pledge of allegiance debate or one about flag burning?
Or perhaps, there just might be other more pressing issues that demand consideration.
RIP Matthew Sheppard. Those that hate because you loved deserve their own fate.

i saw this earlier today, and i'm disappointed in his stance.

the whole point to the constitution, the heart and soul of our govt, is that ALL have rights. ALL are created equal. this country is not 'majority rule' as some claim it is. the majority has NO right to vote in a policy that is unconstitutional. i know some enjoy bashing the aclu, it's a whipping boy for many causes. but thank goodness they exist, as they speak for the oh so small minority that so often gets shouted down. they stand up for those that everyone else shuns.

as mccain said, everyone should be able to have a civil union. after all, that's what my husband and i have--in a nutshell. we were married by the county judge, a civil servant.

too many spend too much time worrying about what others are doing. i am talking about consenting adults here guys....what any adult does with any other adult is no one else's business.
