Why Gay Marriage Was No Threat in 2005

Gay marriage was a big issue in 2004, and is starting again to be in 2006, but why was it no issue in 2005? I bet you've already figured out this conundrum. The answer is there were no national elections in 2005.

When a politician says that gay unions is a threat to the institution of marriage, they really mean that everything but gay unions are a threat to their majority:

The Iraq war	Osama bin Laden	The federal budget deficit
The U.S. trade deficit	NSA's warrantless wire- tapping of U.S. citizens	FEMA
Oil prices	Darfur	The Valerie Plame affair
Global warming	New Orleans	The Jack Abramoff scandal

Bill Frist thinks Christians are suckers

With all these difficult, unresolved problems keeping good, honest, hard-working Americans awake at night, Senate majority leader Bill Frist pushed this amendment to the floor for debate today even though he knew he was nowhere close to the 66 votes needed to pass. Rather than doing something for America, he's decided to waste the Senate's time with this odious, overtly political gesture. That's the power of the Senate majority leader.

You see, he wants to make sure that conservative Christians come out and vote for him and his ilk despite the grand-scale larceny of his tenure and the Old Testament-style bloodletting of the Iraq war. If they really cared at all about gay marriage, wouldn't they have been working on it since the last time they talked up this amendment?

Sadly, it might work for him, but I hope that Jesus helps people see right through his evil, self-serving motive.
