He's got two other Republicans there! Wake up, folks. "Ya' been bamboozled, hoodwinked!" Instead of landing at the Cabinet Table, the Cabinet Table landed on us! Don't forget that 70% of African Americans voted against gay marriage. Write and phone and tell them you're going to keep your money next election cycle or send it elsewhere. The Greens or the Republicans or the Libertarians - I don't care which. We cannot stand for this any longer. We can't even get a seat at the back of the bus, because we just got thrown under it. Now is the true test of who is in politics for politics' sake and who really cares. Tammy, where do you stand and who do you stand with?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-82794217602889671722008-12-24T00:26:00.000-05:002008-12-24T00:26:00.000-05:00Jim Pickett, the policy standard of qualifying the...Jim Pickett, the policy standard of qualifying the Obama machine can pretty much be met with the way Prop 8 was handled and how debate questions were handled. It's not policy but there was certainly campaigning on one side of the line in the sand and that position should be held accountable after primary/election day.Back Alley Hagiographerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07400944880084306871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-69743383635528611412008-12-23T17:04:00.000-05:002008-12-23T17:04:00.000-05:00We don't have to agree with Warren, but in the spi...We don't have to agree with Warren, but in the spirit of tolerance that we all want to receive, he should be allowed to participate. It's not like Obama chose his for a cabinet post. He's just saying a prayer. Let's be angry over things that really matter...like the fact that I can't marry my foreign partner who therefore can't remain in this country because of the discriminatory laws.

There's plenty of reasons for her to stay at the table and remain visible. <BR/><BR/>"It’s time that she decide, is she on the side of that tomboy in Wisconsin who is being told that she’s an abomination, or does she want to be part of the Obama Nation?" This kind of ultimatum is not part of the solution. Make a reasoned argument for her to step aside - don't just proclaim that if she doesn't, she's a traitor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-75360615091870249492008-12-23T07:39:00.000-05:002008-12-23T07:39:00.000-05:00Ugh, calm down friends!Warren isn't making policy...Ugh, calm down friends!<BR/><BR/>Warren isn't making policy by saying a prayer WITH the "Dean" of the Civil Rights Movement who is FOR gay marriage.<BR/><BR/>I have no doubts Obama will enact legislation and policy that are good for LGBTs - rights, healthcare, etc....<BR/><BR/>Save the rage and the wig flipping for when he screws up POLICY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-12594811387624934902008-12-23T02:34:00.000-05:002008-12-23T02:34:00.000-05:00Tokenism sucks! :(Tokenism sucks! :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-88954277994344584852008-12-22T22:56:00.000-05:002008-12-22T22:56:00.000-05:00I hope she does not allow herself to be used.
