McCain APPLAUDS Proposed California Gay Marriage Ban
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ― Sen. John McCain says he is glad California voters will get to weigh in on a ballot measure that seeks to overturn the recent state Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

The Republican presidential candidate's campaign released a statement Tuesday in which McCain said California residents should decide who can marry "rather than having that decision made by judicial fiat."

1. How about people decide who they want to marry
rather than having the decision made by voter fiat.

Wasn't there something in the constitution about pursuit of happiness?

2. Yes, and there's also something in the Constitution
about equal protection under the law. Someone should ask McCain what he thinks of the equal protection clause, vis. the proposed amendment.

4. This isn't about the actual law...
...it's about getting the fundies and other assorted morans of the idiocracy to vote in November.

3. That's not what the article said.
It says that Mc43 is happy there will be vote in November.

He's really happy that the fundies will be motivated to vote against marriage for all tax payers and vote for more GOP lies.

7. Thank you!
I have decided not to accept McCain's second marriage for religious reasons, therefore I do not think McCain is a good role model for the presidency.
He is having sexual relations outside of marriage and has fathered three children out of wedlock. Hardly presidential material.


I'm just thinking of the children.
Won't someone please think of the children?

9. Bears think of the children
"Bears see the children as tiny, doughy containers of honey."

Colbert Rules.
