Carrie Prejean: "I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman."
Barack Obama: "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman."
Why so much vitriol for her and not for the president who has repeatedly spoken out against gay marriage because it's against his personal beliefs?
@HanaMaru: Plus -- I think that being against gay marriage is political pandering on Obama's part, and not his true belief. (At least, I tell myself that.)
@RosePetalPlace: But CP was attacked by the left, including a lot of hate from Obama fans at Jez and that's what led her to the counter-publicity.
If Obama is only pandering to the right(which people are assuming, against his word) why does that make it okay? He's the one with the power here(not Carrie Prejean)and the congressional majority and the popular support. What if you found out that George W. Bush was actually pro-choice or anti-war in his secret heart of hearts? It's us, progressives, that Obama's playing here.
@hovy: HA. I still have mine, I'd guess it's circa 1989 due to the extreme use of orange, yellow and brown. I will NEVER forget what that voice sounds like.
I take such issue with statements like this, and I'm not even religious. I have a cousin who SWEARS that for the last two years God has told her when and what to eat. She's down to 90 pounds from well over 200. Listen, it's awesome that you are insane enough to hear things but um, if you honestly believe in an all-encompassing God, don't you think he's got some more important shit on his plate (no pun intended) than to tell you what to EAT? Is God so much of a loser that he's your diet coach now?!
Don't forget about the LIVE press conference at 2pm where it will be announced whether or not she gets to keep her crown! We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming...
Jesus just faxed in a press release to me. He says that not only does Ms. Prejean not get messages from Him, but that He hates it when you honk for Him and that Doritos are awesome.
@Fridge Hussy :STOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A TITTY BEF...: We are #1 when it comes to Doritos. Although I think the UK is #1 when it comes to potato chips because every time I go there I find some amazing new flavor (my favorite are Walker's Thai Chili and Lamb & Mint).
I was wondering what the hell God was up to. I mean, I guess the genocide in Darfur, increasing homelessness, sweatshop labor, people suffering from terminal illnesses, and the millions of other injustices in the world can wait a second. God needs to remind the world that homosexuals are less than human.
