Howard Dean Elected To Lead Democratic Party
Democrats are not for gay marriage, but “we are the party that has always believed in equal rights under the law for all people,” he said. (source)
Funny, but I thought that Howard Dean said that was absolutely for giving gay couples the ability to marry. I remember him being one of three Democratic presidential candidates would wanted marriage, as opposed to civil unions, for gay couples. Now, he’s saying that is not what the Democratic Party wants.
He further states that the Party “has always believed in equal rights under the law for all people.” Well, I’m sorry, but that means giving gay couples the ability to enter into marriage, which will give them all the federal benefits (over 1,400 of them) of marriage. That is “equal rights” Mr. Dean. So Mr. Dean, if you truly believe that (I’m very skeptical), you should come out and say that, and stop talking out of both sides of your mouth.

Wow... somebody taught him how to be a politician since that "Dean Scream."
He's taking both sides of the issue now. Uh, oh, was Kerry giving the lessons?
(Sigh) The more things change - the more they stay the same. And I'm still not giving them a dime until marriage makes it into the official party platform and they tell every single candidate to either get behind it or get lost.
