No surprise....

I'm seriously considering voting my conscience in the next presidential election. In other words, voting for Dennis Kucinich.

Like many of my radical friends, I'm fed up with settling for second-best in the name of the "lesser of two evils." The Democrat's wimpiness on issues like this one burns me up.
The major Democratic presidential candidates continued to back legal rights for gays but declined to go as far as the Massachusetts Supreme Court and endorse gay marriage.

Only underdog candidates Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton and Carol Moseley Braun support laws that would allow same-sex couples to wed.

The leading candidates for the nomination oppose gay marriage, but most say gay couples should get all the legal rights of married couples. It may seem like a dubious distinction, but it's the same position taken by the majority of Americans in public opinion polls.
"Dubious distinction?" Didn't the Supreme Court strike down that dubious "separate but equal" distinction in 1953 in Brown v. Board of Education?

Complete story here.
