is it just me?

or do the arguments based on "tradition" in marriage, such as "marriage has been between a man and a woman for thousands of years and we shouldn't go changing that now" sound way too much like the arguments 150 years ago along the lines of "man has enslaved other men ffor thousands of years and we shouldn't go changing that now..." ?

"because its always been that way" is not a convincing argument for ANYTHING.  try again.

I just hope that voters will realize that this is a last ditch effort to sway voters minds away from gas prices, Iraq, invasion of privacy, etc.

well, many will, but those that will already are against the current administration and congress to start with.

unfortunately, the time they *should* have noticed and acted on it is the primaries - hardcore republicans won't vote democrat even if they hate their current congressman/senator, but they didn't come out to get a better candidate at the primary so they wouldn't have to be forced into a "vote for a guy i hate, the wrong party, or stay home" decision. (well, for those states that actually have congressional primaries).
