It is not a quibble that there is even a serious attempt to make a counter-argument. It is so fundamentally wrong and off the charts that there is not even a word for it. The progressive left decided no word, no problem, hijack the word “marriage” and then all those with more PC in them than shit and blood line up to go along with the real word “travesty”.<br /><br />..and you think they will stop there? We are supposed to fall in terror the very mention of some words and ignore the hijacking of and redefining of others. I have a suggestion for the missing word, “analism”.

He said he learned from his daughters, age, what, 10 and 13, that gay marriage, one of the most important issues there is culturally, was the way to go. I realized kids grow up fast in some respects these days, and ought to be listened to on some things, but maarriage? And, gay marriage?<br /><br />Wow, some kids.<br /><br />Whole episode reminds of when Jimmy Carter, in debate, said he had talked some geo/political problem over with his daughter, Amy(?), and agreed with her. Can't recall the issue, something insignificant like a ballistic missile treaty or some such. Maybe it was Iran.<br /><br />Romney should be a great President. He has five young sons to turn to when things get rough. And some of them are mostly grown.<br /><br />I remember Carter, the moment he mentioned asking his daughter, immediately seeming to think "What the hell have I said."

Cardin (D-MD) introduced (S.J. Res. 39)--which is worded with slight differences from Congresswoman Baldwin's (H.J. Res. 47).
