Comments on: Breaking From McCain, Palin Suggests Support For Federal Gay Marriage Ban http://www.queerty.com/breaking-from-mccain-palin-suggests-support-for-federal-gay-marriage-ban-20081020/ Free of an agenda.

Palin simply stated a belief of hers that does match with McCain's support for a Federal Amendment banning gay marriage. In March 2003, Jonathan Martin of the Politico reported that when McCain was asked if he would sign the federal marriage amendment if elected President, he replied “of course.” Martin noted that McCain answered the question “without thinking about it.” He later wrote that McCain’s campaign clarified that “he’d only support a marriage amendment to the Constitution if the federal judiciary barred states from banning marriage.” [Politico.com , 3/19/07] So both support Federal bans if it dare looks like us LGBT folks start getting more rights on the state level. There's no disagreement there, just shared bigotry. Actually, the media has gotten this story wrong.

Palin's ineptitude as a politician amazes me. The "mistake" in her answer is that she believes herself to be a "federalist" republican. So, like John McCain, she believes that states should have the final say in these hot "moral" issues. Hence Rowe v. Wade is a bad supreme court decision because it takes the power away from states to regulate abortion. So to say that Roe V Wade (and other supreme court decisions that take powers away from the states) should be overturned, while clamoring for a federal amendment that bans gay marriage (as opposed to state level bans) seems politically devoid of sense. Yes, I do realize I am talking about Sarah Palin here. Honestly, sometimes Gov. Palin’s ineptitude as a politician amazes me.

Bush's unpopular recession may still be with us for the next few years and affect the next President's tenure. A President Palin will introduce a Federal ban on Gay Marriage, overturn Roe V Wade, stack SCOTUS with evangelicals, ban sex education and same sex adoption rights, reduce AIDS funding and maintain a ban on Stem-Cell Research, ignore Global Warming at the planet's peril and criminalize out-of-wedlock sex and debtors as well as War for Oil with Iran. No matter where in the world you went, we ALL would suffer. To laugh at Tina Fey as Sarah Palin is healthy but to laugh with Sarah Palin on SNL means that you are really naive, Todd. Television, and their Corporate Overlords keeps us ignorant!

It is getting so that I am no longer feeling "comfortable". It is only a short step from terms like "culture wars" turning into the reality of "reprograming camps".

She is a fundamentalist who believes Jebus will be coming 'back' in her lifetime. I used quotes around back because he never was here in the first place. Which shows us precisely where her head is located: 100% in unreality. Her statement wasn’t made in isolation. She is a fundamentalist who believes Jebus will be coming ‘back’ in her lifetime.
