Rodham-Clinton Scraps DOMA Support

HILLARY'S REAL LIBERAL CREDENTIALS

Jim Brown of OneNewsNow.com reports today that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham-Clinton has flip-flopped and now no longer supports the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, a piece of legislation that President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1996. Brown notes, "DOMA bans federal recognition of same-sex "marriages. Rodham-Clinton as recently as July 2004 is on record as saying she believed marriage is a "sacred bond" between a man and a woman.

Brown writes, “In May 2005, the senator from New York told CNN, "Well, I don't know many Democrats who support [homosexual/lesbian] marriage. In fact, I don't and haven't for, you know, years before I became a senator." But apparently Senator Clinton now can be counted among several Democrats to do support same-sex marriage, because she says she no longer supports DOMA. The Democratic presidential front runner spelled out her new position in a candidate questionnaire for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a homosexual activist group in Washington.

Brown continues, “Results from the questionnaire also indicate unanimous support from seven Democratic presidential hopefuls on such homosexual-related issues as

· civil unions and federal benefits for same-sex couples;

· passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and so-called "hate crimes" legislation;

· homosexual adoption; and

· repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on homosexuals serving in the military.

Interestingly, all but one candidate -- Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) -- oppose "allowing civil marriage rights for same-sex couples."”

And these radical liberals claim to be “progressives” or “moderates” or “representing the majority of American opinion.” I say “fried baloney with a little mustard on top.” Clearly the 7 current Democratic candidates are far left in their positions. It is only a matter of who is further out there in left field. To me Kucinich is outta-the-park and most of the other six are not far off.

GOP DEBATE - TRUE CONSERVATIVE CREDENTIALS?

I certainly hope and pray a solid conservative candidate emerges during the upcoming primaries because none of the top three GOP candidates could be said to be true conservatives. They may be C-RINOs (Conservative Republicans in NAME Only) in but not true conservatives. Neither do I support nor do I trust any of the top three GOP candidates to be strong on traditional marriage. They are too Bush-like in their deceptive ways and means. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice . . . I do not anticipate any of them being consistent on the conservative issues that count from abortion to immigration to tax reduction or reform to the war on terror. The debate last night proved one thing, evoking the name of Ronald Reagan as Governor Mitt Romney did, does not make you conservative any more than Senator Kerry’s service in Vietnam made him any kind of a war hero. Romney, Senator John McCain and Mayor Rudy Giuliani are showman-politicians first and foremost and lack the consistent demonstration of core conservative principles.

What we desperately need is a true conservative Presidential candidate Governor Mike Huckabee, Representative Tom Tancredo, Representative Duncan Hunter and even Senator Brownbeck would make a better president than any of the Democrat Seven or media-blessed top tier GOP three. But I don’t know if any o those four can come overcome the deliberate snub of the media, have sufficient funds and put together an effective campaign to win enough primaries to garner the nomination. I would be comfortable with any of those men, however.

Maybe we do need someone with conservative credentials with real charisma such as former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich or Senator Fred Thompson. Where are the Washingtons or Adams when you really need them?
