Lets consider that Gay Rights firstly is just one of many expressions of Human Rights.

Lets look at what it is all really worth, and with respect to the Consitution. We should account for the Right of Free Expression in Amendment I in the Bill of Rights, and the fact that marriage is not in it. Thats for starters.

“Marriage is not something that I have ever seen as an institution, being that, statistically, most heterosexual marriages do not last; It is a personal commitment.”

The basis of the instution, being legally married was so that men would become financially reponsible where prior to the law, wives were just abanded when going for an upgrade.

So the concept of commitment overrides the concept of institution as a premise for a constitutional argument.

As a psychologist years ago, and as a human, I discovered that everyone was actually quite different. That there was an infinite dimension to the psyche as there is a universe.

The concept of institution is obsolete when we account for this, and Amendment 1 can be argued as the foundation argument.

In other words, if Gay Rights are not accounted for, then the Dignity of Human Rights is not sincerely served.

I don’t think the Democrats understand this, and could easily paint their own style of graffiti onto the constitution like the Bush administraiton has these past 7 years.

The Constitution is like a magnificant painting, and needs to be restored. Then Human Rights for all can be adequately regarded.

He could have taken the easy way out and lied about how he really feels, and that would make the Liberal Wing of the Democratic party warm and fuzzy. . . but it appears he's being genuine (hard for me to admit that Edwards is EVER genuine, but stay with me here), and trying to honestly answer a question.

I certainly don't agree with everyone's personal decisions on lifestyles, but I respect these decisions and acknolwedge that government policy shouldn't be determined by MY OWN beliefs.

Personally, I think Marriage is a religious issue, not a governmental issue. The issue of partners with regards to legal rights, however, is an issue for elected officials to decide, and in this, I think there should be no discrimination in whom you choose to share your life with. .

For those who attack Edwards, at least he has the courage to admit what he is feeling and the courage to recognize, better yet separate, the difference between personal opinion and the appropriate responsibility of presidental power.

I don't believe under today's administration we are so fortunate.

If your religious and your in politics, it is your duty to check your religious beliefs at the door. It has been in the news multiple times that doctors, scientist, pharmacist and others who have allowed their faith to interfere with their duties and responsibilities and execution of their chosen profession. The separation of church and state is a corner stone of our founding fathers desire to create a new nation. A nation that allows all people the right to speak freely, to practice what religion they desired, to pursue happiness and those rights extend up to the point that the exercising of them does not encroach upon or limit the rights of others. I pay taxes to support a free government, one that is not influenced by religion, blood money, one that is not corrupt and acts to benefit the greater good of the people – government by the people and for the people. I feel that many of can honestly say that our government has not been by or for the people for some time now and we as the board of directors should be appalled and ashamed at how badly we have allowed the management staff to run our country – OUR COUNTRY. By OUR COUNTRY I mean all of us, every man, woman and child. I feel that many politicians do not act faithfully in the discharge of their responsibility to we the people. We as Americans have been remiss in our duties in electing officials with vision, insight and who are indeed leaders – we vote by party affiliation, we vote without thinking, we vote based upon whether a person will abolish abortions, fix our failing education system or fix health care. Yet 4, 8, 20 years later nothing has been done. All we hear is talk, all we see are politicians getting rich, taking bribes, making concessions and not doing what they promised, not getting the job done. In addition, we continue to allow it to happen, year after year and continue to do nothing. We blame the political system, we blame the republicans or democrats and we never blame ourselves.

So, I feel that this election should not be about religious belief and politics, it should be about fixing the issues that face this nation, our country and the legacy we will leave to our children. It is time we the people got off our rears and vote with our minds, not our hearts. Leave god out of schools and our politics, that is for the time you spend at church or on your own.

Adios, Edwards.
