Was at dinner, so only caught the question on homosexuality, which my husband kindly rewound for me on the ol' DVR. I agree that Palin's use of "tolerance" 17 times was a bit weird. What I don't understand is, if they're both against gay marriage, but for visitation rights, property rights, etc., how do they propose couples would get these rights, if they aren't married? Would the couple have to enter into some sort of a legal contract, like someone else mentioned? Can someone please explain that to me better?
I'm sharing the fence with some of you, but I'm trying to avoid candidates that would advocate banning gay marriage altogether (which is why I'll be voting against Florida's Amendment 2 here shortly). Any thoughts? Thanks!
As a gay couple, you can go to a lawyer and get all kinds of legal contracts written up. It can be costly, and God forbid something happens, a family member can contest said contracts and it can get real messy. Meanwhile, your partner is sitting in the hospital all alone! NOT FUN, and yes it happens!
Compared to a hetero couple...one quick trip to Vegas and Poof! You are legally married with all of the rights and privileges provided!
Seperate does not always mean equal!
I did not like the word tolerance either.. it was uncomfortable sounding.
You just based your choice for President on a typically inconsequential VP candidate? Scary.

Well one other little thing-
It might have been nice if she actually answered a few more of the question that she was asked![]()
But I guess that doesn't matter to "Joe six pack".
You know what? I like Palin. Even though her views are totally different than mine, I can see us having a chat over cofee. Do I like her enough to be my VP? He!! no!! I have to go with Biden on this one, I think he's more prepared for the job.
Besides, she even says "nucular"... so no change there.![]()
And whats with people that say...
WAR shinton!
There is no R in Washington!
When I hear Maverick I think of a Roller Coaster at Cedar Point that didn't run correctly the first six months of operation!![]()
I agree she didn't answer anything, and she kept changing the subjectWell one other little thing-
