Oh how about let's NOT ignore it. How about you show us evidence of this "HUGE" base of the Republican Party that believe gays will burn in hell? How about you show us just EXACTLY how huge that base was earlier this year when John McCain, who OPPOSED the Gay Marriage Ban so vociferously, won an astonishing 78% of the Republican Electorate---around 1600 delegates versus 260 for Mike Huckabee, who was a former pastor.
How "HUGE" was that base really?
You wanna talk about the gay marriage ban and how George Bush "tried to ban" it? Well why don't you explain why between Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John McCain and George Bush
ONLY John McCain OPPOSED the gay marriage ban while Barack Obama in fact shares the same position on the matter as George Bush's "No to Marriage, Yes to Civil Unions". I mean, it's not like you can explain why Joe Biden was one of the sponsors of the
ORIGINAL defense of marriage act prohibiting gay marriage.
Furthermore, as far as genuine executive backbone on this issue is concerned (as opposed to Obama's magical ability to REFUSE to vote on subjects as touchy as congress' weekend hours) why don't you explain how Sarah Palin's
very first veto as the governor of the state of Alaska was used to protect the benefits of Gay workers.
No, let's NOT ignore any facts. If __YOU__ some wealth of information on the "vast" majority of gay support Obama or Biden have rendered, please do share. Because from here it looks like Obama is on the EXACT same side as dubya, Biden is to the right of them and the only people who have gone to bat for America's faggots are John McCain and Sarah Palin.
