If you said gay marriage was a deal killer, but the debt ceiling or ObamaCare or raising taxes WERE NOT deal killers ... IN THIS ECONOMY ... you shouldn't be voting.

I would say this ANY candidate who would allow Congress to waste the nations time working on a National Gay Marriage or Gay Civil Union bill is a complete F*ing moron. A serious candidate should tell Congress such a bill will be vetoed until:

1) The Budget is Balanced
2) Balanced budget law is passed requiring a 2/3's majority congressional vote to repeal.
3) Plan to eliminate the national debt and cover or eliminate unfunded obligations.
4) The true unemployment rate is under 5%.
5) Offshore and Anwr Oil reserve exploration is approved

Once all this is complete THEN and ONLY THEN should a MINOR domestic issue be discussed.

you are living in some bizarre wingnut talk radio la-la land.

So you think letting the country burn while stupid social issues take center stage is a better use of Congressional time. I better not mention any radio talk show hosts I may listen to since you think its okay to harrass radio talk show hosts because of their beliefs.

No, the country isn't burning, but it will unless the Republicans stop playing political games and protecting the wealthiest and the corporations. The politics and popular opinion on this is against them, as polls have shown over and over again. They need to wake up to political reality, and to what will actually help this country by having a chance of actually getting done. This is going to take a realistic solution, and what you have laid out is simply fantasy - it's not going to happen.

So instead of wasting time spouting off about impossibilities and things like a balanced budget law that simply are never going to happen, and let's focus on cutting spending where it can be cut, generating revenue by ending some big tax breaks, investing in infrastructure and getting people back to work. All this grandstanding by the GOP is sure not going to help the economy, because there is no chance of it ever happening. We need real, feasible solutions not blather you hear from the right wing radio screamers.

You can't honestly think that Democrats aren't guilty of the same things (protecting corporations, grandstanding) you just pinned on the GOP, can you?

Of course they are. This is politics. This is Washington DC.

Yay! DC! GET TO IT U STREET!

Marital problems are a knockout for me. If you can't manage your personal affairs you can't be expected to manage the country. The risk of blackmail as Clinton faced is an example of how a sex scandal can ruin a presidential term. Clinton was weakened by Lewinsky scandal and his second term was a failure. He

To me, this falls into the "water is wet" category on the obvious-scale. But there are tens of millions of people out there who either don't get it, or at least pretend they don't.

This. Not only would I not support a pro-abort in the primary, but I would vote 3rd party in a general election just as I have in my last 2 congressional elections where the Republicans have run a pro-abort candidate.

Republican politicians are to the pro-life movement as Democratic politicians are to the anti -war movement

Because murdering, raping, and stealing allow you to get married, but being in a commited relationship doesn't.
