If the Dem's were smart, they could use the Gay Marriage Debate to really.
embarass the hell out of the Republican'ts.

They all get time to talk and debate.. so every Dem should start with...

"Given the Serious dangers that face this country, this amendment has no bearing on todays issues.. such as.."

and then go off on a monolouge on something that MATTERS..

Voting Integrity
The Iraq Debacle
Illegal Wiretapping
Lack of Health Care
etc..
etc..
etc..

Except Russ Fiengold should immediately introduce the text to attach to this amendment to ban DIVORCE and make ADULTRY a FEDERAL CRIME since those are a threat to MARRIAGE also.

1. That makes about as much sense...
...as saying, since we wish to allow gays etc. to be able to join together, we believe in doing away with marriage and letting everyone decide for themselves what it is.

6. You spammed a post that recommends that Dems redirect the debate to
issues that have a more direct impact on Americans. That is "dumb"?

9. No. I just thought I was starting to see things in double, and triple,
and I'm not even drinking. I figured I'd use search to settle the question of my sanity.

But now that you mentioned it, a beer sounds great right about now!.

2. Feingold is not exactly well placed to introduce an amendment
to ban divorce (neither are my 2 senators). You would need a senator who has never been divorced.

For the rest, I agree totally.

12. I think Dorgan was doing that in his floor speech when I checked CSPAN...
earlier.

He was talking about how, if the Repubs are really so worried about the value of life of children (specifically with same sex parents and how much better it is for a man and a woman to be parents), then why aren't the Repubs funding NCLB or expanding health care for children.

It was a very good point.

And I completely agree with you that if gay marriage is such a threat to traditional marriage...someone really ought to catch on to the DIVORCE issue!
