Dueling wedge issues in Wisconsin
Gay marriage isn't what it used to be, and Democrats may have found something -- stem cell research -- that trumps it.
By Alex Koppelman [2006-08-03]

  • Where is the proof?

    I have heard many journalists repeat the GOP claim that the marriage amendments in several states in 2004 brought more right wing voters to the ballot boxes, yet I have NEVER seen any evidence of this claim.

    I think it does a disservice to those of us who want to read FACTS in lieu of assumptions or assertions from one side or the other.

    Where is the proof that Bush was reelected due to marriage amendments being on the ballots of these states? How can one make this claim based on claims from the administration itself?

    Seems to me it only causes the Democrats in politics to feel afraid of doing what is right, that is standing up to equality for ALL Americans, including LGBT Americans.

    And this is a lame attempt to blame gays for the lack of cohesive platforms and consistency in the Democratic party.

    I am not to blame for Kerry's loss to Bush!
