oh for crying out loud...house to take up gay marriage...

[ourbluenation]

House Majority Leader John Boehner said Tuesday that despite the doomed fate of a bill being considered in the Senate to ban same-sex marriage, he plans to bring the measure up for a vote in the House next month.

"This is a big issue with lots of our members and, frankly, with lots of Americans," Boehner said. "Bringing this issue to the floor, allowing it to be debated, voted on, I think is a good idea."

The West Chester Republican's statement came after Sen. Jim Bunning, a Southgate Republican, told reporters earlier on Tuesday that the bill has little chance of passing the Senate - or even getting enough votes to merit a debate. A similar measure was defeated in the Senate two years ago, 50-48. Constitutional amendments need the votes of two thirds of each chamber of Congress; for the Senate, it needs 67 votes.

Though the amendment will fail, Bunning said, that shouldn't stop Congress from pushing the issue, if for nothing else than to make a statement "on what a marriage is and what a marriage is not."

3. fascists get it -the publicity and control of the agenda

its the fascist way to rabble rouse the low end fan base.

its the hitler plan:

1)repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it
2) if yer gonna tell a lie, tell a really BIG one
3) take advantage of the weakling opposition party and frame the issues.
