The US is not a Thoecracy

The Senate voted down a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage on Wednesday, but Republicans planned a vote in the House of Representatives to keep a national spotlight on the hot-button issue.

Let's see, we're in the middle of a dubious and never ending war (and several other military 'actions') - our economy is fair at best (unless you are already really rich) - gas prices are through the roof - students can barely afford education without creating an enormous debt (not to mention our education system is failing as scores continue to decline) - our environment is getting trampled in the name of profitability - etc.

Is same sex marriage really worth even talking about - what a lame political stunt. I couldn't care less one way or the other - but I do know that I will vote AGAINST any official who supports this - not because of my views on the issue - but because it is NOT our governments place to limit rights and freedoms through legislated morality. WE ARE NOT A THEOCRACY AND WE NEVER WILL BE. IF YOU WANT THAT - MOVE TO IRAN.
