6/7/2006 – Gay Marriage Ban Was Just Pandering Legislation – Opinion – Chattanoogan.com – Important legislation under this current group of senators include English as a national language, gay marriage, Terry Schiavo (one person), and burning the American flag. All of it is useless, pandering legislation that does nothing for the country and the betterment of anyone’s life.
Exactly!
Why do we care if two men or two women want to marry, when we have high gas prices, schools that can’t even educate our kids, unprotected levees and a war out of control? Those are more serious and impact more Americans than same-sex marriage.

It’s all due to a very cynical power play, as I’m sure you’re aware. We saw the same thing happen in 2004, because it too was an election year.
The sad part is, voters (of all stripes) should get themselves to the polls without the help of all this pandering. But the truth is that this is what it takes, and so the power-hungry use it time after time.
