My hunch is that the only reason the issue was brought up in Congress at all is that Our Presidents approval right now is lower the Nixon's was before he resigned, their is a Mid Term Election in November, we are involved in a VERY unpopular War on a number of fronts, and I believe that this issue was brought up only to hekp save some Repbulican seats in Congress in the fall and to keep the Repbilcans in controll of both Houses in Washington,. If we did Not have Mid Term elections, if Bush's approval rating were much higher then they are, I real do not believe this issue would have even come up for a vote. Some have even said it was brought up as a way of deterring attnetion for the moment from Iraq, and other more critical issues.
The reality is, if 2 people of the same sex want to get married, as Aesop put it, it will have no effect on my persona life at all. If it makes them happy and they aren't crimminals, let;s have Wasigton deal with the issues we face right now and not worry about 2 women or 2 men getting married
Plus if we do, the government will start getting real intrusive into our lives.
And the issue has nothing to do with the "moral fiber" of this country, look at all the trouble the church has going on for years with children being molested this to me is far more serious and cncern to me then 2 memebers of the same sex getting married
Our governemtn is in serious need of revieiwing it's priorities and correcting theere order, Iraq, Gas Prices, Inflation, Medical Costs ect .ect. these concern me more the same sex marriages
