    Could the internet contain basso's joy if the Palin Down's baby turns out to be gay? I think it would break the internet.

    I actually look at more than 5 seconds of evidence. And I didn't see Obama anywhere in that debate.

    the video's 3:08 long, your post came 3 minutes after mine, and add time for typing, etc, and it seems unlikely you watch the video.

    You realize this was a debate that occurred on national TV during the campaign, right? While you might think you found some secret video on some super-secret blog that only you knew about, many of us saw it many months ago live.

    That they said they agree on the issue? Yes. It's not difficult.

    None of it changes the fact that Palin has stated her full support of a Constitutional Amendment on the issue, while Obama has come out against it, indicating that despite agreement on one portion of the topic, they actually don't have the same views on the issue.

    try replacing "Palin Downs baby" with "Obama [appropriately descriptive physical characterization] Malia" and see how it sounds.

    Will basso ever show an ounce of intellectual integrity and admit when he is wrong?

    Palin Breaks With McCain On Gay Marriage Ban
    Font size Print E-mail Share 156 comments Posted by Scott Conroy
    (CBS)From CBS News' Scott Conroy:

    (COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) - In an interview with CBN’s David Brody, Sarah Palin signaled her support for a constitutional ban on gay marriage, a position that John McCain once described as “antithetical in every way to the core philosophy of Republicans.”

    “I am, in my own, state, I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I wish on a federal level that that's where we would go because I don't support gay marriage,” Palin said.

    “I'm not going to be out there judging individuals, sitting in a seat of judgment telling what they can and can't do, should and should not do, but I certainly can express my own opinion here and take actions that I believe would be best for traditional marriage and that's casting my votes and speaking up for traditional marriage that, that instrument that it's the foundation of our society is that strong family and that's based on that traditional definition of marriage, so I do support that.”

    When the federal marriage amendment was being debated in 2004, John McCain broke from his party’s leadership and took to the Senate floor to denounce it in notably stark language.

    "The constitutional amendment we're debating today strikes me as antithetical in every way to the core philosophy of Republicans," McCain said. "It usurps from the states a fundamental authority they have always possessed and imposes a federal remedy for a problem that most states do not believe confronts them."

    Gay marriage isn’t the only issue on which Palin and McCain have expressed differences of opinion. They have also diverged on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, global warming, cross-border raids into Pakistan, and whether abortion should be permitted in cases of rape and incest.

    In a joint interview with CBS News’ Katie Couric, McCain portrayed their differences of opinion on ANWR in a positive light.

    “Did you expect two mavericks to agree on—to agree on everything?” he asked.

    Though she has criticized Obama for his position on late-term abortion, Palin has lately kept the focus on the Democrat’s tax plan, which she has said contains elements of socialism. Look for her to continue to hammer the Democrats on the economy as she campaigns across Colorado on Monday.

    I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about - I'm glad to be able to say that I have successfully exploited your troubled emotional and mental state however. Is it due to financial problems? Cheer up. Green shoots on the horizon son...

    basso has previously said that there is no difference towards gay rights in those two stances.

    not worth the pixels, people.

    Take the pledge.

    I will not post in basso threads again. This is the last one, and in fact, this is the last one I even view, period. Even Mork and Mindy reruns viewed for the 12th time are a million times more entertaining.

    Well if he posts something of value I will post.

    But since the numbers and facts related to this thread show this thread idea to be wrong and useless, it would have been a perfect one to have zero replies in for anyone but basso.

    I think we should really work to make that happen.
