Jacques, Cheryl, President, Human Rights Campaign

1. The Human Rights person is very articulate. I am impressed

Usually the RWinger is articulate and the liberal is a wimp.

[chimpymustgo]

2. Watching. Jay Sekulow is getting his clock cleaned.

He has no real arguments. Cherly Jacques is making such a compelling case for protection of her children and partner.

[chimpymustgo]

3. The gay agenda - well now we know!

It's to RECRUIT.

There are some sick Cheneys out there.

[LittleApple81]

4. Boy, the woman that said a man and a woman can live together

missed the boat.
They can get married and acquire the "rights" of married couple. Gays can't.

[LittleApple81]

5. Sekulow: the majority of Americans overwhelmingly opposed...

What we should do is educate the population on what being Gay means.

[LittleApple81]

6. Sekulow: decision on gay marriage is being taken by an UNELECTED

OLIGARCHY!!! He does not worry about the real oligarchy Cheneying our country in every way right now!!! He worries about Gays?????

7. Cherly Jacques is amazing!

I have such respect for her - don't know how she can sit and listen to some of these callers make such nasty comments.

[Wind Dancer]

8. Our entire school system will

have to be changed - what will we tell the children?

[LittleApple81]

9. Didn't we change textbooks to show girls doing jobs other than

household chores as a legitimate careers? Or to show blacks under a different light? or to depict mixed marriages?

[truthspeaker]

13. Yep, and the right wing is still upset about THAT!

[prolesunited]

10. She certainly is convincing and awesome

She has been able to effectively counter EVERY argument that he has made.

I can't believe that they are actually considering this amendment right now. For all that is going on in the world right now, how did this get pushed to the forefront?

[terrya]

12. This amendment? It's hate, pure and simple.

These homophobes on C-Span right now hate gay people. They're uncomfortable, to put it mildly, with the idea of gay people having the right to marry. They're bigots, pure and simple. And that's the reason for this amendment.

[Wind Dancer]

20. Agree! We should be talking about

the situation in Iraq, the death of our soldiers - this is political BS endorsed by the repubs to stir things up with the democrats.

[truthspeaker]

14. Because the real problems don't have easy answers

Much easier to rail against gay marriage than deal with any of the tough, pressing problems.

[LittleApple81]

11. Great concluding remark by Ms. Jacques when discussing divorce

and the Catholic church. It does not recognize divorce and remarriage, but the government does.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

15. they didn't read my email

i asked for the address of the "institution of marriage" and also if nuns should be allowed to marry the church.

[LittleApple81]

16. An ignorant woman after the debate was over says ANIMALS don't

do it???
She is black... when she walks into a room she cannot hide the fact that she is black, gays can hide it???? WHY SHOULD THEY NEED to hide the fact that they are gay?

[prolesunited]

18. I like this next one better

Who is talking about the Bible code. And who can't love this statement: We are a Christian nation and "We are not going to be blessed if we violate the laws of God."

[LittleApple81]

17. Another fool talking about the codes FOUND in the bible to foretell the

future... WE DO HAVE A LOT OF NUTS RUNNING AROUND!!!

[prolesunited]

19. WTF!

When we marched in the '80s, "we promised not to have to have an agenda. We just wanted to be recognized as human beings."

Thank you for not beating us anymore. That is enough. :shrug:
