Laura Bush says gay marriages are "a very, very shocking issue" for some people, a subject that should be debated by Americans rather than settled by a Massachusetts court or the mayor of San Francisco.
Asked how she feels about the issue personally, Mrs. Bush replies: "Let's just leave it at that."

What kind of a debate is that?

While declining to express her own opinions about gay marriages, Mrs. Bush said, "It's an issue that people want to talk about and not want the Massachusetts Supreme Court, or the mayor of San Francisco to make their choice for them. I know that's what the president thinks. “
"I think people ought to have that opportunity to debate it, to think about it, to see what the American people really want to do about the issue."

Oh, I see, since the First Lump tells us what Smirk thinks, we should just leave it at that.

Who the hell cares if two people marry? Find a bigger fish, and fry it Pickles!

1. Wow - she's made not having her own opinion an art form

And she talks about "the people" as if she wasn't one of them.

I'm starting to think The Stepford Wives was a documentary.

2. "Let THEM eat Shit" , 2 weeks prior to the trial, Marie Antoinette

poor thing, lost her head

3. Hmmmm...which arsewipe referred to "the people" as a

"focus group" when they spoke up against the war?

They really care what we think.

Take another pill.

4. If she and her husband we not so cynical and dishonest......

about everything, then her statements would make a lot of sense.

She's right about it being shocking to some people, she's also right about it being a an issue that the American people should debate; it shouldn't be an issue decided by a judge or a politician....and those who are against it shouldn't be made to feel guilty because they disagree with a very vocal minority.

6. Debate? She wants to just leave it at that.

5. First Lump ~ LOL I just wonder who it is that refers to her as such

She admitted Bush* didn't write her any poem so I wonder who did. Who would have the audacity to refer to her in that manner? This is the kind of insignificant type thing that can bring down a crime family. If they will lie over something so trivial then they will lie over anything.
