Wrong again.. Marriage is a religious function, and its gays wanting to force themself into a religious act. Furthermore, this has been repeatedly put on ballots and voted down, by Democrats as well as Republicans, and will ultimately be resolved by the courts.

How many jobs does Google have for example? Microsoft? Amazon, Ebay? Haha, according to you.. they are all 1 person entities.. haha

No, because you're going with the obligatory whine about something you'd rather have, complaining because Obama administration actually favors something you would but won't accept it out of sheer hatred. The blinders getting in the way. Or, did I get that wrong and you're, in fact, a proponent of something along these lines?

Bush moves to shut down web gambling


No wonder I see people whining, complaining and betting that Obama is no different than Bush.

Wrong, again, the fact that gays can get married in several states and growing shows that the courts are reversing the bigotry and hate the GOP preaches. Keep your religion to yourself

Wrong. The GOP wants the baby to have a say about what can happen to THEIR bodies

Thats why there is a law against late term abortions and early term are legal...

I didnt realize marijuana was a GOP issue. Thats odd considering Democrats have held Congress 3x as much as the GOP over the last 40 years.. The GOP has traditionally been against marijuana... you know, the "war on drugs"

Love the little word games with no substance in the last part... if anything, the Dems seem to be more about creating jobs these days. Heck, the GOP is still trying to figure out what the word fidelity means. Last time I checked, Google, Amazon, Microsof created jobs unlike this entity that you are showing your ignorance about.

Boy, you seem to like failing alot

Bravo! After three years he has finally made a good decision! I'll give him thumbs up for this one.

Anyone want to start a rumor that President Obama said that breathing is good?

Well, agreed. But I, like others, will count him in when the term "Obama Administration" is used. Let's be honest, if the "Obama Administration" had done something bad (which, they have) everyone will single him out. Can't single him out when it's convenient for us.

And this is coming from someone who will 100% not be voting for him next year.
Why should people get to vote on whether or not others can do in the privacy of their own home?

If your against the legalization of drugs, how about just...not doing them? If you're against gay marriage, how about you just refrain from marrying a member of the same sex? Instead of voting against it, people should just mind their on business.

Legalize gambling, prostitution, and marijuana. It stops infringing on our individual liberty and can bring in plenty of money...
