Gay Marriage and Iraq
Each party has an Achilies Heal. For democrats, its Iraq and fighting terrorsim. For Republicans, its anti gay marriage and all that represents.
As a democratic, my own parties approach to fighting terrorism seems abiguous and cloudy. Bush, at least has a clear cut strategy. It's implementation was bungled badly and it may backfire, but his efforts are clear and present.
I never got this pricture from John Kerry.
But as a liberal, I feel strongly about the anti gay marriage amendment, that is just plain wrong and probably plainly illegal.
If you can't make laws that discriminate agaist people, how in the hell can you have a constitutional amendment?
And that little trick where the law is written to afirm that marriage is between and man and a women won't fly.
Dispite your fears that your son or daughter, gulp, may be gay, or that the bible says homosexuality is a sin (the Bible also condones slavery), you know in your Republican heart that it is wrong.
In fact, a anti gay marriage amendment won't keep your kids from becoming gay, because he already is or is not.
Get it.

Birthday Post
It was my birthday yesterday. 41. Kids and mom gave me a nice party and people at work said nice things. It is a little depressing, 41. You realize that you isn't coming back to your 30s and that you are on your way to 50.
But everyone I know feels younger. I feel thirty five really. People say I look it to. Thanks.
I have not posted in a while. Guess I trying to find new inspiration. Politics is dead for me.
I will say Bush is keeping a low profile and not talking bout Iraq much.
My personal theory is they know in their hearts that Iraq was a major mistake and would not do that again.
My novel is coming along and I've decided to write a bit more about that then politics.
I've got a first draft that has all the pieces in place basically. I need to work on structure a little bit. Working on structure makes me feel better about the project. I get bogged down in all the details and run out of gas. Its great to have created a story basically out of thin air.
