Or stay not vote and in essence vote for Perry by default. When you're limited to the choice of two evils the only rational thing to do is vote for the lesser of the two.

I'm sure if Perry was supporting gay executions and Obama was just supporting life in prison, we'd be urged to vote for Obama.

Do you want Obama to pick the next two justices that are sure to step down soon… or a Republican?

If you care at all about the future of gay rights, then the answer to that question is obvious.

Will his pre- speech propaganda echo his last visit - "I'm not going to make any news". I despair. It's like waiting to see what's going to happen on "As The World Turns" 4 episodes in advance. Will he? Won't he? Is he fucking with our emotions? Are we *really* human beings? Do our relationships *really* matter? Stay tuned. Barack Obama will let us know the answer at a future date since he has the luxury to to to that. And if it's it not the answer we want, well, go ahead and vote for him because, hey, what's your alternative: Mitt Romney or Rick Perry? How about NONE OF THE ABOVE.
