Eww McCain... Gay Marriage Opposing Candidate *shudder*

Oh well, have fun

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion :P

Janvier · 30th Oct 2008, 03:18 AM

You can't vote for a candidate based on what they think about same-sex marriage.

Oh, can't I? >_>

I tend to want to get married in the future, and one of them will take that away, and the other will try to legalize it... Hmmm

EDIT: And no, that isn't the only reason I'm voting for obama =P It's a large chunk of it, but it isn't the only reason XD

Psychedelic Bookmarks · 30th Oct 2008, 04:00 AM

Have a great time, Weazel

Janvier · 30th Oct 2008, 04:05 AM

Ok, let's say McCain is for gay marriage, would you vote for him?
I'm sorry but marriage isn't a priority right now and it can't be your main voting point.
I understand people want the same rights, everyone does, I'm against marriage so I don't really care but others do.
I thought Obama was opposed to gay marriage, isn't he?

Mikeyy · 30th Oct 2008, 04:11 AM

Errr.. No. He's Not.

And all of McCain's views are backwards and will only make America worse for people who aren't straight, white hicks.

However, I respect everyone's right to vote for whoever they choose to.

Although Barack Obama has said that he supports civil unions, he is against gay marriage. In an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune, Obama said, "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman."

His party must be choosing to omit that from their spiel...

Obama may be against it, but his VP, Biden isn't.

George · 30th Oct 2008, 05:41 AM

Ok, I'm gunning for Obama to become the next president, but the sniping at people on this thread is horrible! Yes, you can say everyone is entitled to their opinion, but you can't get all bitchy about it.

And then shoving a "however.. your views are fine bla bla" at the end does not counteract what you said in the first place.

People complain about McCain supporters being bitchy and stuff, but many Obama backers are the same. =/ It's a two way street. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like your preferred political candidate shut down by some random person.

sdc91 · 30th Oct 2008, 09:45 AM

Have fun! Political rallies are always exciting. I went to Obama's speech in Berlin at the Siegessäule with 150,000+ other people... it was insaaaaaaane.

I respect both candidates. Not many people in the world would be able to do what they're doing right now. I agree with Obama on some issues, and McCain on others, but I identify with more of Obama's views than McCain's so I support him.

And for the record, Biden doesn't support gay marriage either, so get your facts straight.

He said he was in the vice-presidential debate? He supports giving them rights and a civil union, but he said he was against gay marriage. Sarah Palin picked up on it and agreed, and even SNL did a spoof on how he backtracked with his answer.

**Lexington** · 30th Oct 2008, 10:05 AM

All four candidates are technically against gay marriage. You'll have to find another issue to differentiate them. That shouldn't be too hard.

Have a good time.

Have a good time!

I'm fully for Barack Obama and I really hope he wins and almost everyone I know who can vote is voting for him and that is great. McCain will do nothing for this country and knows nothing of what he talks about. He is old and his views on life and what America should be are way out dated.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

But anyway-have fun.

(Rooting for a candidate that
doesn't support your rights
(at all).Yeah-that was mean
and probably uncalled for
but it's true)

I'm a little politics'd out at the moment, been to 2 very large political rallies here in the last week over education cuts (college student protests against fees, and another one about budget cuts for primary and secondary schools which will mean the end of school sports at my sister's school).

That said, I would *love* to attend an Obama rally.
