I can't understand why the McCains had to take a position in gay marriages? Why are they doing that? It is like the ladies doth protest too much. When you make too much of a statement, it becomes almost hypocritical in its impact. By not saying anything as loud as that, the support would have had much more meaning with at least the appearance of sincerity. Why make such a strong point, and why politicize it? If I had been gay, I would have not been impressed by it at all.

You misunderstood what I said. Or did you? What possible mileage is to be derived with their making it such a big issue? It definitely does not look like a selfless thought or act to me at all. If they do feel like campaigning for anything, how about campaigning for more funding for research in cancer or HIV?
Well, high-profile supporters could be very valuable to the cause. Of course, there are always a lot of causes that deserve our attention. They may very well support either of these, but the media never mentioned it? (I have no idea myself). Or perhaps they consider the cause more requiring of the publicity/help? Who knows? Oh, the curse of the lack of telepathic abilities.
Why should it be a "cause"? People are supporting gay marriages everywhere. It is a done deal. We've been there done that AND then the McCains thought they needed to re-invent the wheel? To what purpose?

No, it's illegal in California, which is where they're campaigning for it to be "legalised".
I did not realize the McCains were living in California? I thought they were from Arizona?

I care about gay rights in England, France and Sweden and i live in Scotland. What's your point?
We were talking about the McCains and why they should elect to join in a campaign that is so far removed from the area where they are living in. I find all of it very artificial because of the depth and intensity of their campaigning about something that obviously has not much to do with them.
I agree. Almost seems like that "feel good" stuff that the democrats seem to like so much.:unsure:
Sort of like how americans are helping Haiti even tough it has nothing to do with most of us. I mean it's so fake!
In what way is that different to my example? I don't live in England, France or Sweden and i rarely visit the latter two. France or Sweden have less political bearing on me than California on any other state.
Exactly my point, except you put it in much better words. Right on! I am also convinced that the McCains were paid in some or other way to do what they did, it is just too "fake" to be something that they would have done selflessly.Sort of like how americans are helping Haiti even tough it has nothing to do with most of us.

I did get the sarcasm, just sounded right on the number for me. The other half of my posting was my take on it only. I am not completely anti-McCain, however I hope that the Republicans could come up with something more solid than the McCains as their spokesmen. Almost like fiddling in California while Rome is burning in Washington DC.Your sarcasm detector is broken. I was disagreeing with you.
