36. Yes.
You're wrong. How long are people supposed to wait to have the same rights as you and I? What if * wins/steals this election? Should they have to wait another four years or more?

There is a way to go about this without making it a liability for our candidate. Paint W as an extremist, a flip-flopper, someone who is willing to turn a group of Americans into second-class citizens. Educate America on what gay marriage/civil unions really mean--nobody is going to make their church marry gay people if the church doesn't want to. Make the other side articulate EXACTLY why they think gay marriage will lead to the end of the world as we know it.

This is why we lose all the damn time. Because we're so scared of losing the precious swing vote that we let the Rs roll right over us. Besides, as somebody said before, the only people who will vote on this issue alone are already committed to one side or the other. Most people will be voting on the economy and Iraq.
