Also this announcement came not long after he stated that the people don't care about the individual promises made just the bigger picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34239589.post-40674010318968111622007-11-08T01:42:00.000-05:002007-11-08T01:42:00.000-05:00Yes, one of my favourite people!They are getting d...Yes, one of my favourite people!<BR/><BR/>They are getting desperate. Very desperate. Until now they have refused to even acknowledge that gay couples should be given the same rights as heterosexual defacto couples. Of all their blatant electioneering, this has to be in the top 3.<BR/><BR/>Thing is, it won't change a vote - Rudd has been saying all along that the Labor party (basically, just like your Democrats) will give defacto rights to gay couples. At least his decision is not an 11th hour announcement.<BR/><BR/>Neither is willing to change the marriage act, which really makes me angry. How dare they say people don't have a right to be married if they choose, just because their partner is the same gender! Marriage is supposed to be about love and commitment, not gender and politics.<BR/><BR/>People really disgust me sometimes.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852372393059248458noreply@blogger.com
