Bush wins second term as president

10 or 11 states voted to have the gay marriage ban, which I think is SO wrong. And now that Bush is president again UK and Us troops not pulling out of the war for probably a very very long tiime.

Gays should not be allowed to get married but they should have some sort of law that protects them or recognizes them as partners.

As far as the war... we will see what happens now that he is re-elected and he does not have to worry about what the publics reactions are going to be to his decisions.

As far as gays are concerned, I'm unwilling to so much as recognize a 'civil union'. Our laws are based on the bible, and the bible also condemns homosexuality, therefore, we should also make that just as unacceptable as robbing a bank.

In some parts of the country, sodomy is considered a criminal act.

Would you still feel this way if it were you who were gay?

Im not coming down on you for you opinion, Im simply asking.

This is just My opinion.

As a Christian, I stand firm on my beliefs. I will Educate anyone who whats to lean about my faith, but I will NEVER push my beliefs on another Human. I Will never vote for, or against anything that takes away another persons right to live their live the way they want to.

Actually all 11 states banned gay marriage. The voters in those states have spoken.

Personally i think that civil unions are inevitable and considering its the same rights as married people get i think the whole arguement is over labels and i dont see why some are making such a big deal to get it called as marriage other than to try to force others to accept their lifestyle which is not mine or the rest of socieity's business.

They aren't allowed to 'mess around' with each other in prison. Ask any correctional officer and they will tell you the same thing.

Why should it be allowed outside of prison if it's not even allowed inside prison?

I agree with you but it's better than them getting married!

I don't understand how gay marriage hurts anyone? You want to say it hurts the institution of marriage but it seems to be doing that fine anyway (50% divorce rate). Gay marriage doesn't physically hurt anyone. I feel that if something doesn't physically hurt another person there shouldn't be a problem with it.

Ohwell... Atleast the next four years will be fun... Kerry would just be boring.

What I find seriously sad in all this, is Bush's biggest thing going for him is what happened on 911... yet all the states that got hit on 911 really hard (NY, NJ, DC, PA) all did NOT vote in his favor, not even close!

So what does that tell you? It tells you that those who actually had to morn what happened on 911 still DO NOT feel safer with Bush in office!!

But yet there are people who live in the middle of nowhere, where no one in their right mind would care to attack feel much safer with him in office... so that's what they say...

What a vastly oversimplified, and wrong, way of looking at it ROCKAMANIAC. People voting on the issue of Terrorism in those places voted overwhelmingly for Bush. But only about 25% of people in three of those areas (PA, NY, NJ) voted on Terrorism (Can't find good enough exit polls for DC).

PA came out 51% for Kerry to 49% for Bush.
NJ came out 53% for Kerry to 46% for Bush. Neither one is "Not even close".

NY came out 58% Kerry 40% Bush, but take a look at a county-by-county map. Once you head outside New York City, Kerry's domination disintigrates, where he only had a clear majority in two counties (Tompkins and Albany).

I spent last night 'till 5 AM pouring over as much raw data as I could find. Trust me, when it comes to Terrorism, Bush slaughtered Kerry in the voting booth.
