Lounge of Tomorrow - The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

LOL- I'm part of the cradle robbing group too....the way I figure it, women live longer, by having a younger one, maybe he'll last longer. :D

I feel like Demi Moore- without the money and the perfect body ;)

My wife is older than I am, but looks 10 years younger. What does hat make me?

A constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage was defeated as predicted in the Senate Wednesday, but supporters say new votes for the measure represent progress that gives the GOP's base reason to vote on Election Day.

And senators will have to answer for their positions, one sponsor of the amendment warned.

"People are going to be responsible for this vote," said Sen. Sam Brownback (news, bio, voting record), R-Kan. "We are making progress in America on defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman."

Rejected... until the next election year, I'm thinking...

This is all an election year ploy for the Repubs to say, 'The guy I'm running against voted FOR same-sex marriage. Is that what we want?'
Bleh.

True. Even though it failed in the Senate, the House is going to vote on it any way. Oh well.

I got this email from a gay activist friend of mine:

Quote:

This vote was better than expected. The gay bashers were claiming that they would have a majority. Our side picked up two GOP votes, Specter and Judd Gregg. Chris Dodd and Jay Rockefeller, who would have voted with us, were absent. Chuck Hagel, who would have voted against us, is in Omaha with the President. If everyone was present, the vote would have been 50-50. That means the Vice President would have had to break the tie. Now, that would have been interesting. (Of course, with a cloture vote, the 50-50 tie doesn't matter, but it's still fun to think about.)
