If the Bush administration had spent even a fraction of the time they did rallying against equal rights for homosexuals, preventing stem cell research and trying to convince Americans that winning in Iraq is the only way they are safe instead on making insurance companies accountable and delivering promised relief we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Think about it. We get a republican senate, congress, and president. Do you really think that is the best time to push forward a gay marriage initiative, if you want to get it passed? Why didn't gay people wanna get married under the Clinton administration? Don't you think having the guy in charge on your side would be a better time to do it? These discussions grow tiresome fast, as some of what you say has merit, but there are two sides of each story.
