A few years ago it looked like opposition to gay marriage was going to equal or surpass abortion as the ultimate wedge issue – a device capable of defeating Democrats in all but the most-liberal districts.
And yet consider this:
–The topic didn't come up in Tuesday's debate.
–There's not been a single McCain-Palin ad on gay marriage.
–John McCain did not mention it in his acceptance speech at the Republican convention.
–Sarah Palin did not mention it in her convention acceptance speech, either.
–Of the 57 speeches listed on McCain's Web site, I couldn't find a single mention of the gay marriage issue.
What happened?
Didn't it get swallowed up in the economy like everything else??
Money. Money trumps everything else in the USA. Even guns.
they are too busy espousing hate of terrorists so they can get people to hate Obama by association.
By the way, I no longer believe in free speech.
