Barack Obama, June 5, 2006

And I should say that personally, I do believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.

Just in case y'all think he's a friend to the gays.

I'm backing Obama

UMMM...Hillary thinks that marriage is between a man and woman as well

Maybe you're another racist "progressive" white lesbian who would never vote for Obama when a white woman candidate is available

from: http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Hillary_Clinton_Civil_Rights.htm

Hillary supports DOMA, which Bill Clinton signed

Hillary stated categorically that she opposed legalizing same-sex marriage. She provided a clear explanation that to this day is the most quoted statement enunciating her position. "Marriage has historic, religious, and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman. But I also believe that people in committed gay marriages, as they believe them to be, should be given rights under the law that recognize and respect their relationship."

Hillary said she backed her husband's signing of the Defense of Marriage Act. She said what everyone wanted to know: Yes, if she had been in the Senate in 1996, she would have supported the law.

let's get this straight

voting for obama? anti-feminist
voting for clinton? racist

good to know that we're all screwed either way. or how about this? how about we honor that everyone has a fucking CHOICE! in who they vote for.

i'm so sick of all this generalizing about other people's private decisions.

Go get 'em, tiger.

Nothing says "progressive" by trying to prove you're MORE progressive than the next guy.

i know. i'm sick of everywhere i turn, liberals/democrats/progressives/whatever are being told (usually by their "counterparts") that they are voting for the wrong person and then major assumptions being made about WHY they are voting that way.

I really just hate (stereotypes ahead! warning!) white liberal anti-racism competitions. There is so much freaking white liberal guilt out there that some people really feel like they have to really put out there how "in" they are with people of color to prove how anti-racist they are. And in turn, have to prove how racist everyone else is to further alleviate their white guilt.

I'm mostly caucasian. I was raised in caucasian working class culture. My family had a lot of racist beliefs and I was raised with them. I internalized some of them. I work against it. I have nothing to prove and don't need to de facto support a candidate of color just to "prove" I'm anti-racist.

It takes a whole lot of guts to attack someone anonymously for their political views which you don't have a complete understanding of. Way to go!
