If the situation is calling for supporting equal rights, he's all for equal rights. But when the situation changes five minutes and ten feet down the road, then he's anti-equal rights. He flips more than a pancake, depending on which side he wants to butter. For me, that picture of the oh-so-sweet hug after Bush slandered McCain's entire family says it all. He's Golum. He's hugging his 'Precious' and his eyes are closed in ecstacy. My eyes, however, are never going close again when it comes to McCain. I guess it all depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is.

Not when getting elected is on the line. Readers on this site may label it flip flopping, but will the pundits? Not likely. Someone needs to start keeping a list anway - this isn't his first by any means. Not that it matters, it didn't with Bush when page after page of his "partly truth, partly fiction, he's a walking contradiction" episodes were spread across the web, but at least it is entertaining viewing.

The separation of Church and State would make "civil" weddings the rule. People could still have a "ceremony" in the church, but it would have no legal validity. Right now, people can be legally married in many different venues. But they can only go to a court of law to obtain a divorce. The reality is, "God" dosen't "marry" you, the State does. Gawd, why don't the "scaredy-cats" just "trademark" the term "marriage" and get it over with? It would be just as rational. Onion Heads.
