Anyone watch the Daily Show last night?
Jun. 7th, 2006 08:07 amDid you see Jon Stewart talk about gay marriage with William Bennett? Jon just unzipped and pissed all over Bennett's talking points.
The footage Stewart showed of Republican congressmen extolling the virtues of marriage to society were quite telling. There's increase stability, fewer substance abuse problems, extension of longevity, etc. All good things. Why would we want to deny any citizen of such benefits? Just because of a line or two in the Bible?
I wonder if this is really more of a "follow the money" issue for the Republicans, and they are using the religious position to simply gain more votes.
