illini07, no your inference is incorrect. ionorder to see where someone stands can only be seen when votes mean something. voting that israel should get weopons america must give them under treaty is not anything great. usually there are stipulations, arms going to egypt saudia arabia, etc. he voted for bills like this. nothing aabout the separation of jerusalem, the right for israel to defend itself. he is a coward at best, and now after the report today of what he did in iraq, possibly an arrestable under the logan act. if bush had any cahoones, he would have the secret service arrest obama, and be done with this whole thing.
as for whther the vote came up, of course not, it was voted into law years ago, but he has stated that jerusalem will have to be divided ( of course one day after saying it shouldnt.)
as or what do i care if they get health insurance, and the like. easy, they ( the same sex community) have a much higher percentage of venereal diseases. using statistics, insurance companies will increase their purchase price, causing medical benefits to decrease, as employers wont be able to meet these costs. also, if they get the same rights, then what is to say that in 20 years from now we should give rights to a person and their pet, after all, who are we to say what is normal. remember 40 years ago, being gay was a mental disorder, just like zoophilia is today. in the political world it is called a slippery slope.
