Aren't We At War?

Hate-mongers like Senator Bill Frist and Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney continue to push for a vote on the anti-gay, anti-American, anti-marriage amendment that would keep some 20 milion to 30 million Americans from EVER having committed, monogamous marriages. They would assault states rights. BUt you know all this. What's annoying is that the New York Times -- and many others -- describe the upcoming struggle as "an uncomfortable debate" for Democrats.

Why? Any politician worth their salt should have a field day with this. (Paging Senator Kerry.) Our soldiers are bogged down in two different foreign countries. We're at war fighting terrorism and crippled internationally by the shame of our human rights abuses in Iraq. The White House just admitted they screwed up and, no, we're NOT winning the war on terror -- terrorist acts continue to rise. And in the midst of all this, some partisan Republicans want to waste our time by putting up for vote a Constitutional amendment that poll after poll shows most Americans don't support? Bring it on.
