Kay has a quote in her sig (or she did, i'm not sure if it's still there) from Kerry, about equal rights for EVERYONE regardless of religion, race, creed, sexual preference, etc. THAT is what this country needs. Not someone who is pushing to change the constitution to exclude a HUGE number of American citizens. Personally, I would be very wary of anyone wanting to do something so drastic. What Bush does not realise is that there is a large conservative GLBT community, who's votes he will now lose because he fails to recognise them.
You know, this is interesting. It's not so much that I believe everyone should believe as I do, but I FEAR a president who would use the constitution to limit a civil right. There are virtually NO cases where I'd support using the constitution to limit rights. We have a very short list of where that's been done. Nifty things like prohibition.
For me, THAT along with his other neo-conservative policies, and proposals scare me. As does his apparent equation of Al Qaeda with Iraq. My fear, once he equates it with one country, he'll equate it with others. Where does that end? And does that actually eradicate Al Qaeda? It hasn't so far. Not even in Afganistan. (where I supported the President's decision)
