Unacceptable compromise: Mass. Governor Romney reveals the strategy & agrees with it:

"I think the Family Institute is wise not to try and dissolve {same-sex} marriages that will have occurred."

"If this amendment were to pass, at that stage I would support legislation which would provide certain domestic partnership benefits..."

1. But I thought their argument against allowing gay marriage

was that it would lead to the end of civilization as we know it. So now we've had all these marriages, and the world is still here (despite *'s best efforts). What's to argue about in favor of getting rid of gay marriage? I would think the defense would be to simply point at all the married gay couples and ask how they've harmed anyone, anywhere.

2. If it wasn't for gay marriage, North Korea wouldn't have nuclear weapons

Think about it.

3. *snicker* No kidding.

And we wouldn't have global warming or hurricanes or disease or famine.

Gotcha! What was I thinking . . . :sarcasm:

5. LOL! Hadn't seen that before.

But yeah, that makes just about as much sense.

Damn robots - they're everywhere!

10. How could we forget the robots?

6. "Certain domestic partnership benefits"

In other words "be happy with the few scraps I'm tossing you."

7. They've already lost

When the people of Massachusetts vote down their amendment, what's their rationale going to be then?

Both their "activist judge" and "let the people decide" lines will be used up.

[we laugh indoors]

8. Both those lines have been used up

since the republikkkans began using them. Just more rhetoric from those hateful bigots.

9. The rationale will be something along the lines of "brainwashing" or

even that the issue of gay marriage hasn't been fully discussed in a democratic fashion, that gay activists have hijacked this or that pillar of democracy, etc. :eyes:

They will NOT give up - keep that in mind.
