The Romney

I would sooner vote for an axe murderer than a Mormon.

But their cult has done very well, considering it was really just started by a greedy pedophile who wanted to marry three 12 year-old girls and not just one.

so marring just one would be ok ?........

I guess if you think being a pedophile who believes in sharing.... Although that makes you less likely to be Mormon so much as catholic.

gaaaawd, its amazing to me that the terms "love", "great country", and "sanctity of human life" can be used in the same paragraph as their desire for only same sex marriages. :?

Love, great country, and human life!!! ..and desire to OPPOSE others who just want to love and be married too! (sarcasm) :roll:

Personally, I don't think any of them really care, they just know two things... it's a great way to get votes from old people who see their place in the world slipping away... White, Christian, Middle Class people used to be the kings of the hill. And now they have to share their place with people of different skin colours, religions, races... and their economic place is slipping away, too. You can't have that "Leave It To Beaver" family that they had growing up... a working dad, a stay at home mom and a three bedroom, two-story house with a yard in the 'burbs.

The only group left they're allowed to bully is the LGBT community. And what's worse... even that's slipping away. Because their kids don't care and in fact their kids support equality for their gay and lesbian friends.

That's a hard pill to swallow for the people who wanted to live life like the Cleavers and the Cunninghams.

They see writing anti-gay laws into the constitution kinda like they see cementing a hole in the basement... they think that it's the only way to stop the inevitable. And really.. its just a way to slow it down.

I was having the same covo. with a friend last week. Our dads are huge GOP guys for all the wrong reasons. We were saying in 20 years people won't give a shit about any of this stuff because all the old, archaic thinking bigots will be dead.
In 2030 we'll be as embarassed about not allowing gay marriage as we are about segregation.

Oh...if you can read Krakauer's book on Mormon's and vote for one you belong a another planet!

but I disagree with your motivation thoughts...I can tell you that as a group they don't think a like...some oppose gay marriage because of their religion, others because they honestly hate gay people...I dont' think it has anything to do with having to "share their place."

My reason for thinking that goes back to segregation, really... They didn't want to have to share schools, lunch counters or drinking fountains with black people.

Modern day homophobia isn't much different. But you can't really tell if a person is gay or straight by just looking at them. So they have to go about things differently... they want to be able to fire us form our jobs just for being gay. They want to be able to evict us from our houses or deny us access to our children.

Stop us from adopting.

But the marriage thing is where I really see the "segregation" thing most pronounced. Some go on about how "this is just for us straight people" and make all sorts of silly rules like "it's just for procreation" (which it isn't) or "one man one woman is in the bible" (it's not). Some want to have that segregation thing with "straight people can marry and gay people can have civil unions" which is like a "straight drinking fountain" and a "gay one." Especially since civil unions come with about 1500 fewer rights, privileges, protections and responsibilities that marriages get. The "white" drinking fountain always was maintained and cleaned. The "black" one.. not so much.
