Civil unions between gay people absolutely means "marriage doesn’t matter" as the dead cardinal said. BTW, I've followed the Cardinals for years and can't remember O’Connor. Did he play with Musial in the 50s? Anyway, I'm behind you 100% Minister Governor. My wife and I are scared poopless over this gay marriage thing. It threatens us terribly. It's just like those <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/02/07/MNG3N4RAV41.DTL" rel="nofollow">gay penguins</a> they found in New York. Those gay penguins absolutely invalidate my marriage like the dead baseball player said. Minister Governor, I know you will do what is necessary on this Iowa thing. But what about the penguins? The whole ### zoo might go gay if they aren't stopped!!!! Help minister governor, you are our only hope!!!! Minister Governor Huckabee, surely you are correct.

You say that family matters, but is it only your view of a family that matters and should be considered? YOU have long believed that marriage must be defined as a marriage between one man and one woman, but why should that mean that everyone in the US should be forced to believe the same way? Nobody is going to force you to partner with someone of the same or opposite sex, and no one should ever have the power or ability to do so. Family does matter, and who are we to say what should constitute a family? I'm living in one of the most oppressed countries in the world and to read that there are people in the US trying to impose the same brand of oppression, in the name of THIER God, is totally against the freedoms and rights ensured to every citizen in the US of A by the constitution. The constitution does not need an amendment to force everyone to believe the same way you believe. Do something contructive for the world Mike Huckabee, quit being destructive.

Does he imagine that gays will stop being gay, or not co-habitate without the benefit of legally recognized marriage? If the sight of two men living together as a couple is disturbing or threatening to the family, how does lacking a piece of paper change this? Also, if marriage creates stable families, why does Mr. Huckabee prefer to see people live together unmarried rather than married? I am not gay. If I know gay people I'm not aware of it. But I know that most of my friends and family are not gay. I just can't see how my life is to be enriched by assuring that people who are different from me are deliberately made miserable. If Mr. Huckabee believes in God, doesn't he trust God to punish who He chooses, how He chooses? For all we know, God might be judging us by the empathy and compassion we show to those of His children He has made different from the majority.
