McCain Supports California and Arizona Marriage Bans
Happy Gay Pride from John McCain!
In a move that wasn't entirely unexpected, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain endorsed Thursday the controversial California Marriage Protection Act initiative expected to go before the state's voters this November.
"I support the efforts of the people of California to recognize marriage as a unique institution between a man and a woman, just as we did in my home state of Arizona," McCain said in a message widely distributed via PRNewswire. "I do not believe judges should be making these decisions."
McCain also supports recent attempts by the Arizona legislature to offer an anti-gay marriage amendment to voters in the fall. That proposal was narrowly rejected this week and could be re-voted over the weekend.
Meanwhile, CNN confirms the presumptive Republican presidential nominee had an off-the-record meeting with Log Cabin Republicans, the gay Republican group, presumably to wish them a happy gay pride. Still no announcement of the meeting on the virtual Log Cabinette ... nor any mention of McCain's support for the proposed California and Arizona marriage bans. Happy pride!

freeleo:
most of the republican base are voters who vote against themselves like jackasses. Case in point, Kentucky. Stongly republican yet poorer than dirt, and they'll believe Obama is bad because they are actually the ones clinging to their 'guns, religion,' and also their poverty and hopelessness.
Suffice it to say, they are also none too smart.
