That's not true. It was government that banned it illegally in over half the states in the early 1900's. Why would you want to wait for them to get it right? They need to stay out of the marriage business altogether. Government needs to stick to its enumerated duties and quit expanding.
Government gets involved after the fact. The Civil Rights Act was made after the tide had been turned. A bunch of bandwaggoners jumped on board and the result was more of our rights lost.

Rick, so far, has no one bound to pick him at the convention.
No, Santorum Won. It was on CNN.

The Republican's will now fall in line behind the true conservative who has proven he can carry many States in one blow.

Now that Santorum is head to head with Romney things will get interesting. I wonder if the tax issue will be back on the table...

Default Now that Santorum is the front runner...

... I may be forced to switch allegiance. I was gonna vote for Newt in the Texas primary (if Texas even has a primary this year) but now it may have to be Santo Rum.

Way I see it, either one of those two guttersnipes would make for a VERY entertaining fall campaign vs the president.

Romney?

BORING...
