In the March 2000 election, the voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 22 by over 61% of the vote.  Prop. 22 added a regular statute to the California Family Code to keep marriage between a man and a woman and prevent the state Legislature from redefining marriage without a vote of the people.

However, this is being challenged when San Fransico Mayor Gavin Newson gave marriage licenses to non-straight couples.

Although I am generally liberal, I believe that marriage is between a man and woman and that tradition should remain strong because it may open the door to unintended consequences in the tax code, possibly even polygamist activists, etc. Also it questions our moral values and foundations of society.

  I am confident this will pass since the DOMA passed with 61 percent, what do you think, will it pass in California, do you support it, why not?

Should marriage be decided by the will of the people or some judge?

- The United States arrested an 84-year-old American on Tuesday suspected of giving Israel secrets on nuclear weapons, fighter jets and missiles in the 1980s, in a case linked to the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal that rocked U.S.-Israeli relations.

This is ridicilious. Case after case that our "ally" is spying on us.

Kadish is a Connecticut-born U.S. citizen who worked as a mechanical engineer at the Army's Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, New Jersey.

His spying lasted roughly from 1979 to 1985, and his contact with the unidentified Israeli handler continued until March of this year, the federal complaint against him said

So is Hillary going to nuke Israel? I think we need to make treason a crime that has a possible death penalty punishment to put a hamper on these things.

Oh , and the Israeli government denies they knew anything about.

I think there's a lot of partisans here who are unhappy with the Clintons. Although it's hard to forgot the betrayals of the Clintons when it comes to NAFTA, the War on Iraq, her triangulation, and her failed health care initiative, that is the tip of the iceberg.

 Look at the way she is running her campaign and viciously attacking other Democrats. We know people in her campaign such as Shaheen and  Kerrey made dirty comments. So did that country hick, her husband Bill Clinton. I am not sure if Jesse Jackson won Wisconsin too. Who woulda thunk it Ernie ? (Sacrasm ends here)
 
 Here's a way we can all help with Obama because we are tired of the Clintons. It doesn't take any money and you don't have to move more than five feet.
Let's a pick a day  this week before Tuesday and call the offices of Hillary Clinton throughout Ohio and Texas and tell her that we are Democrats who are tired of her campaign tactics and shrill tactics and that's time for her to drop out of this campaign and go back to New York.
We could also spam this to other internet sites who are interested and do this on one day. Who's on board?

So, I know some people see this as planning too far ahead in the future. The fate of Texas and Ohio is in question. Some think she'll fight this till the convention and hope to persuade superdelegates to win the nomination. How about we forget this for 5 minutes and assume he's the nominee. His Vice President should be the former Republican Senator from Rhode Island, Lincoln Chafee!

Now hear me out for a second. I know the initial reaction is probably negative, because he's a, well, Republican. But if you look at the record, he's a better Democrat than most Democrats.

He was against the war in Iraq from the beginning. (sorry Clinton-Edwards)
He's pro-choice, pro gay-rights, and pro-environment.
He opposed the Bush tax cuts and wanted to increase taxes on the upper income bracket.

This would be a fitting choice for Chafee because you could say he's a "unity" candidate, but in actuality, he is very liberal.

Right now, flying below the radar of the mainstream media, there are talks about who Edwards will endorse. Although this is not being covered dilligently, I think this endorsement can be very crucuial in either allowing Obama to clinch the nomination or it can keep Clinton in the race.

The alarming news, if you are an Obama supporter, is that Edwards met Clinton on Sunday and the meeting with Obama Monday was cancelled. I am not sure if it was some scheduling conflict or some form of political gamemanship. I hope it is the former.

  I think that this endorsement would be important because Edwards can appeal to lower class white males who are a part of unions, the so called lunch-bucket liberals. According to sources tied to Edwards, Edwards likes Obama's ideas on campaign finance reform, but believes that Clinton talks more about issues that resonate with the working class.
