Arnold Opposes Hate Amendment, Fine with Gay Marriage

By Byron LaMasters

Wow. I'm actually begining to like Gov. Arnold. The LA Times reports:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said on national television Monday night that it would be "fine with me" if state law were changed to permit same-sex marriages.

In an interview with Jay Leno on NBC's "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," Schwarzenegger also strongly rejected President Bush's call for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. "I think those issues should be left to the state, so I have no use for a constitutional amendment or change in that at all," he said.

[...]

But when Leno asked, "Would you have any problem if they changed the law?" the governor replied: "No, I don't have a problem. Let the court decide. Let the people decide."


Go Arnold...

Don't get too enthralled by our steroid pumping, botox injecting governor. His proposition 57 and 58 started to nose dive in the polls among Gay and Lesbian voters because of his ridiculous statements about "rioting in the streets." He's just doing damage control. I voted against both propositions. Arnold ran on a campaign of making tough choices and promised to get the state budget under control. Shoot, Gray Davis could have borrowed the money and solved the problem. Why should Arnold get away with solutions that were not available to Davis? I'm also convinced that Arnold will run to replace Diane Feinstein in two years with the slogan: "I solved the budget crisis." Yeah, right.

Just say no to Republicans borrowing money that your children will have to repay.

Happy Texas Independence Day to all of you still in the homeland. I'm going to write on the meaning of Texas Independence Day later this week. Be sure to stop by.
