Hurricane Bristol hits Minnesota

Republicans try to brush off the tempest over Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and turn that other storm in Louisiana into a political prop.

    Same-sex marriage

    Sarah Palin opposes same-sex marriage as well. I don't expect conservative Christians to support LGBT rights, but they really should be teaching tolerance and forgiveness.

    Obama also opposes same-sex marriage.

    Palin vetoed legislation that would have denied State employeed same-sex partners benefits.

    While I'd like to think that Obama really supports gay-marriage and just says he doesn't because that position would make it very hard to get elected, his official position as the same as Palins's.

    Only she's actually vetoed bills designed to harm gay and lesbian couples.
