So, recently, Senator John McCain (the presumptive Republican nominee for president in 2008, if such a thing coudl be presumed this early on) was Hardball with Chris Matthews. I read the transcripts online and the following exchange took place:
MATTHEWS: Should there be—should gay marriage be allowed?
MCCAIN: I think that gay marriage should be allowed, if there‘s a ceremony kind of thing, if you want to call it that. I don‘t have any problem with that, but I do believe in preserving the sanctity of a union between man and woman.
Hmm, so what excatly does that mean? He supports gay marriage, but thinks straight marriage needs to be preserved? I fail to see how two men getting married threatens ANY straight marriage, but then that's just me.
Let's see how long it takes him to repudiate this statement. I mean, he's gonna have to get through the Republican primaries and there ain't no way the Far Right, Christian conservative religious radicals are gonna be voting for anyone that supports two men in love getting married.
Still, if he can be made to stick to it, that's a promising thing.
