		<description>keep them coming...i think this qualifies as a flood...about 40 superdelegates in 9 days...wow

Clinton supporters keeping bad-mouthing superdelegates....it shows how mean spirited they really are.  I wish they would realize that Obama won&#039;t be denied.  Instead of being gracious and recognizing that, they are prepared to take this to the convention and that is unacceptable.  We  as democrats should start aiming are fire at John McBush. If we do that, the democrats will take the white house in an unprecedented fashion.  I have no doubt that It will be a Reagan type victory where we win an astounding victory.  So democrats unite

say NO to failed bush policies on IRAQ
say NO to failed bush policies on ECONOMY
say NO to failed bush policies on HEALTHCARE
say NO to failed bush policies on EDUCATION
say NO to failed bush policies on ENVIRONMENT

TRUE democrats will unite around Obama due to the MAJOR policy differences between Mccain.  Democrats who don&#039;t are the scum of society and shouldn&#039;t be considered true democrats anyway.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s about time that California allow loving same sex couples to marry.  Any state that decides to follow their fair minded ways should also do so.  Gay couples are denied basic rights daily in this country, and must live with the constant threat that everything they own and have worked for could be taken away because they &quot;aren&#039;t married.&quot;  Same sex marriage should stay a state-level matter, and the President and Supreme Court should stay out of it.   In a country where citizens are free to practice whatever religion they choose, biblical scripture should also stay out of the debate.  

We are people, too... who deserve the right to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our families.  When my partner had 6 hours of emergency surgery this Spring to remove a tumor on her ear drum, I was denied entrance into the recovery room and was told I &quot;wasn&#039;t family.&quot;  Let any opponent of same sex marriage go through a similar situation, and we&#039;ll see how quickly their attitudes change.</description>

		<description>In my humble opinion Holy Matrimony is different than a civil marriage.  One is a function of the church and is sacred and the other is a function of the secular state.  The state cannot discriminate against its citizens without violating their civil rights.  Separation of Church and State forever!!  This is my belief and I do not care if I get excommunicated blah blah blah. Good for you California!

		<description>I don&#039;t approve, but who am I to judge.  I just don&#039;t like it when they tell me I have to accept it with open arms.  Just like I don&#039;t like having Obama thrust upon me as my only choice in November?  I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballot and if that means McCain wins, so be it.  McCain will be a better President then Obama.</description>

		<description>I can understand some people having a major problem with this. I have to admit I don&#039;t particularily care watching men kiss men or women kiss women. My problem comes from ANYONE trying to convince me that it is normal or an alternative life style. NORMAL by definition is something done by the vast majority. I am not calling it perverted or any other negative term, it is what is,  just don&#039;t tell me it is normal. 
  Also I have no desire to see gay couples on TV to the point that you think 50% of the population is that way when it is closer to 10 to 15%. Other than that I REALLY don&#039;t care.

By the way..THE BIGGEST THREAT TO MARRIAGE IS THE 50% DIVORCE RATE. We need to focus on that a heck of a lot more than this.</description>

		<description>This is not judicial activism. This is enforcement of the law! Equal protection for all. Bravo California. 

Lets face it - gay marriage is a purely invented issue used by right wing fringe to make us feel included as straight people and thereby make us feel better about ourselves. Gay marriage has never produced a problem and never will. It has never turned a staight person gay and never will. This is a fact.  Its more a non-issue than an issue.</description>

		<description>Wow.

My partner and I adopted four kids from the foster care system.  We have been a family for over 10 years.  It was a bitter sweet day many years ago when we had to leave the country in order to get legally married in Canada.

It&#039;s good when the law catches up to reality.</description>

I fully support the ruling.  I am sure there will be the flood of posts with the usual religious nut job critics.</description>

		<description>You gooooo Joe!! It is about time more people with some clout started saying what most of the country-world think and feel! Bush should have been impeached a long time ago! He has been a war mongrel since he took office.I don&#039;t know how he sleeps at night. He has made such a mess of things, it will take years to fix! He actually acts as if he is not ashamed of the legacy he will leave, going down as the WORST president in all of history! Wonder what his grandchildren will think and all his generations from here on when they read about him in the history books! I can&#039;t wait till he goes and hides in his hole in Texas.</description>
