What leftie, commie, pinko traitor said this?
"I think the fact of the matter, of course, (same-sex relationship recognition) is regulated by the states. I think different states are likely to come to different conclusions, and that's appropriate. I don't think there should necessarily be a federal policy in this area. I try to be open-minded about it as much as I can, and tolerant of those relationships. And like (Senator) Joe (Lieberman), I also wrestle with the extent to which there ought to be legal sanction of those relationships. I think we ought to do everything we can to tolerate and accommodate whatever kind of relationships people want to enter into."
Who said this? None other than
Dick Cheney, during the 2000 vice-presidential debate. Or how about:
"The conservative course is not to banish gay people from making such commitments [marriage]. It is to expect that they make such commitments. We shouldn't just allow gay marriage. We should insist on gay marriage. We should regard it as scandalous that two people could claim to love each other and not want to sanctify their love with marriage fidelity."
-- David Brooks, Nov. 22, 2003, New York Times

If only the wingers were capable of doing as they say, instead of doing as Karl Rove commands.
