He will say anything to get elected." Obama on gay rights: Just what HAS he done? http://musing85.typepad.com/blog/2008/01/obama-on-gay-ri.html Flip-Flop/CHANGE #1: Barack Obama says he’s against The California Ballot Measure Banning Gay Marriage Despite His repeated Assertion That Marriage Is Between A Man And A Woman. “I still think that these are decisions that need to be made at a state and local level. I’m a strong supporter of civil unions. And I think that, you know, we’re involved in a national conversation about this issue. You know, I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman” Despite his so called ’support’ for GLBT rights he’s on record for also saying that a second class citizen status such as a civil partnership a la Vermont is his preferred resolution for the issue and goes beyond and says that the issue should be left up to individual States to decide upon. We shouldn’t be entitled to the same rights and protections his family has but he’s Okay with the California Supreme Court decision. Until it gets voted down in November by the public then another flip-flop on the making. Flip-Flop/CHANGE #2: While Obama says he will support a repeal of DADT once he’s president as a senator he hasn’t co-sponsored MREA ( The Military Readiness Enhancement Act, a bill to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”) in both the 109th and current 110th congress. Flip-Flop/CHANGE #3: Barack Obama has come out in full support and expressed his desire to expand on Bush’s faith based initiative programs although he has said previously that he values this Nations principle of the separation of church and state. And then in general his flip-flops are more endless than those of McCain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2K3gz2Zbfg So what's the difference? “No one really knows what this man believes because his beliefs change depending on his audience.

He is from another century, the Spanish-American War. I am three years older than senile McCain, but somehow I manage to keep up with the real world. Age is no excuse.

You are weak and you are a sell out. Don't beat around the bush by affirming the opposite just so you can pick up the evangelical votes and think it won't get you any flack from the queers. What a lame candidate. He can't even be himself, now he has to pander to the evangelicals. He can go to hell. god dammit Mccain! you sir, suck. You are weak and you are a sell out.

He is obviously struggling to say something that will gain him favor with the fundies while not saying anything overtly anti-gay. He won't say he's "against gay adoption" but for "traditional family" It’s more a sell out than flip-flop.

He won’t say he’s “against gay adoption” but for “traditional family”
