There's a lot of gay marriage threads on the board now. Is it an election year? Oooo. what the hell would GM mean to anyone else? What about abortion? That's another good one. It's not like Roe vs Wade is going to get overturned in the next.......... well ever.

Issues that don't matter. Why are we focusing on them? Is it keeping us away from "other" parties that are actually making some sense? Think about it. There are WAY bigger issues than abortion, gays, etc. It's just easy to obfuscate the political terrain with those. It hits people where their politics hits them. Usually in the guts.

Here's a thought. Next time you get your pay stub, look at the taxes you paid and think, "Where's my money going?" It's probably to getting you on all fours. That's the nicest way I could think of putting it.

You guys really have to ditch the 2 party system. Too easy for the Gov't to do you badly. Hell, they've even invoked the 1st Amendment for their mouthpieces(MSM ALL OF THEM) that work against the people.

Noticed that too...the increase in certain topics again. 66 more days, is it? Wedge issues. Nothing more, nothing less. Grab a few more votes from people who might actually be swayed by such things alone. They need these issues to maintain the illusion that there are differences between the parties, when everyone knows there are virtually none. Abandon the party system altogether or give us at least 6 or 7 parties and then it might matter again.

I agree that the two party system is trash. But........

Abortion is just sick, I mean really, it is inhumane, forget conservative vs. liberal it is the destruction of a future human being. Wow.

Gay marriage on the other hand, really, why would anyone care. Two individuals should be allowed to do what they want to do, at least in the state's eyes. Churches can choose to support or not.

That's my beliefs as well. The question is WHY focus on the issues that the Supreme Court(SC) have already decided upon. That's American law, bottom line. Even discussing it is wasted breathe. But here we are again.

What should we be talking about? Involvement in foreign countries. Hmm, how much is that costing? The bail outs? Ditto but I can actually see that one. Just my opinion.

Hey, I've got one for you. Which is more important?

Obama is/n't a legal citizen vs the immigration issue at the southern border?

See what I'm saying? They are playing you all. Phishing as it were and a lot of people are falling for it. F Obama. F Congress. F the GOP. F them all.

WAKE UP GUYS, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

An election year, is as good a reason as any, to bring their rights to the top!

While you think this detracts from more important issues, this might be the most important one of all, to a gay person!

A valid point. It's just the obfuscation that grinds my gears.
