All In The Name Of Fund Raising?
Thu, 10 May 2012|
President Obama and his aides claim they're just not sure how his endorsement of same-sex marriage will play politically. Howie thought he must be joking. Now the president is preparing to head to a sold-out fundraiser at George Clooney's home in Hollywood which is home to some of the most high-profile backers of gay marriage and the 150 donors who are paying $40,000 to attend Clooney's dinner Thursday night will no doubt feel newly invigorated by Obama's announcement. Howie felt this whole thing was all in the name of fund raising.

And it's like it would be illegal aliens -- you don't -- the only blue laws on the illegal aliens pretty -- American citizens are gonna get the impression they don't have to. Have laws you. And in this case. You know if you if you say marriage is not between -- woman -- and in the -- Campbell what -- is gonna get an idea that. They should be to have a little more freedom. When it comes to. Man boy at all. Or. You don't beat the renegade Mormon it's. With the polygamy etc. etc. etc. in the -- -- yesterday I I don't. Particularly careful Roberts and enormously as a candidate or politician he -- strike from idea. My liking. As a SE -- Catholic but you know I thought it was absolutely on the money when he said after at the -- after he -- legalized in Massachusetts that this was just one. And in and you cannot tell me that it's much that one. There's going to be it's it is going to be more calming me. You know who can week in and pitched in its -- just before. It's just before the loss of two consenting adults either you know me what do what constantly wants to get on the somebody wants to he's what's government's pension you know you got 200000 dollar state pension like certain non named up people we mentioned. I mean maybe maybe he wants to war you don't give -- to give the let his daughter inherit the pension or -- Aaron. Pageant so what's to stop what's to stop somebody from Mary and the size of the potter and continue the pension goes but you're the survivor's benefit she could keep the beauty -- could go on forever. Right. Or or again like I said yesterday Stevie -- Stevie Flemmi and Whitey Bulger -- the two serial killers and they out of the heads of the winner -- game. Why you know perhaps they could have gotten married you know high a spouse cannot testify against another spouse. Are all kinds of reasons to get -- -- Actually new type I think I actually knew a couple of people who are married single man and woman who because they didn't wanna have to testify against each other verbatim wanna take that chance. It was true love. So if you don't you New -- opened up. Pandora's box here and and it's just. It's thought pointy -- well I guarantee. 187746943221877469432. To the Olympic too. A postal when there. Eric your -- with how we aren't going. -- on the commercial pilot pocketbook -- BR IR radio yeah you're up a little right now. What does it and so little. And -- and more in the -- big guy in Honolulu looked. You are -- package rush -- -- -- Alter the outlook -- each other here. Anyway let's and they do not retired naval officer in this thing about that we all -- -- try -- -- -- -- it's actually it's such a lot in the next thing we know it is very good that we ought to -- Horrible these big old -- and integrating. Right like I said it is like it's it's like what happened and -- you know what media Heather you're had a -- beyond. The every year you had a new console in Rome and then up pretty soon you have an emperor and like you said the emperor started putting his face on the winds. I mean. Even if you think that Eric you would think that the guy would not say it I mean even even an ego maniac would have sense enough not to say something like that. Yeah really audit I never bought an attraction to out -- pilot -- a complete their work school to get really close to the guys that you wind up. You do it -- -- -- -- try to keep each other allied Iraqi. You cannot be popular for anybody else like I'm not to back. I don't think anybody in the stretch -- -- that I'll. Yeah I don't -- in the Italy they kept saying yesterday this is historic that no president has ever come out for gay marriage at all like kind of stuff big you know big big what I mean again he didn't say he's gonna -- legislation. But I don't think any president has ever said what he said yesterday about the troops are fighting in my behalf. What -- -- that thing about though he built this city street -- illiterate and yeah that's what cabinet. Yeah and now I know I wish I wish I could it right and it's you know the thing is it's a great book guy you have to read the whole book by the everybody at some point should read the decline and fall of the Roman empire by Edward. That would do it given. It's a great great great book and there are sold so many lessons. 21. For rougher for Americans thanks for the caller and have fun in Hawaii. -- -- -- -- -- -- Q8. Q what -- Go tell everybody every car has Wi-Fi. Probably be a -- -- likes. 75. By the time that happened I think it's gonna happen in the next year or so two years mainly -- high hopes so high hopes. Course there's another way there's an easier way to. To not have to deal with the signal problems and that's the war that's why I want everybody to they have been you know get my email blast so when one idea. When I go on the -- Yuma where I'm going to go 118774694322. No static at all Dave your next with Howie -- go ahead day of. -- -- -- -- -- -- You know. Maybe. Keep tactic of what. Became movement does -- two in order to help get the definite definition of marriage redefined is to make sure that is a great perception rather that. Anybody who. Has the contrary opinion there is somehow out of touch or. Right yeah they're calling me at the end of all the rough on the right that's. Right so you're. Whatever that whatever the term you want you wanna put -- use so the story really is not that. You know it lost in -- in North Carolina. But that -- 6040. Because that's the story that has some legs if they don't have it down right away. And Corey grow roots but. That they did -- it down right away. It it it won't happen and that and that's just you know that's Obama's radical propaganda. Doing their job. But but you don't you think that do you know most people understand that you know whenever this goes to a vote you don't mean Maine is at Maine is a pretty liberal state -- I mean not just I've -- just to -- one close of the California Hawaii -- -- and he can't pass in Maine. Well well well I agree I agree that. I agree that that's true but -- I also think you know in in in some some instances the -- been a lot closer. And I don't think they want anybody asking questions about. These are going back through the votes in -- walk out we don't Wear them how much to lose by here there don't think they want any of that surfacing that. It's important create depth perception that anybody that the country your opinion is is on the wrong side of history as they say. Yeah at the wrong side of history back now yup thank you -- that's that was afraid that is the phrase using the wrong side of history. Warrant shall bottle on MSNBC. Said. Last night that Shep Smith is the only one man. Fox who was on -- right side of history. Let's see he said Shep Smith has frequently been the lone voice of reason is Fox News or -- Highlighting the fox comments but fox -- comments earlier yesterday in which you said the president. Is now in the 21 century in the Republicans are on the room side of history. On the issue what at what history is there for game married and he we hear the wait is there is -- And you know and you know Corso bottles all bent out of shape that that about the fox. Fox headline. Obama flip flops. What the -- go I mean again you know. That's that's another roe -- the liberals control the language you know it it it's there if it's if you move to the left. Who have grown you have evolved if you -- if you moved to the right you flip flop if you're Republican you flip flop if you're a Democrat you we've evolved a new world. 18774. -- occasionally a Republican is out to grow. You know or -- like optical arts cosponsor the DREAM Act -- And then when it's. That he withered and died in politically because it's -- rule to he'd rule to for you all too little too far left. For his electorate is Republican electorate in India Jerry your next with how we cart go ahead Jerry. Via the -- growing on me. You know that this. I hadn't told. This particular everybody else in the opening ohm side and talk to who what and who's -- and -- -- you know what the election or he just thought he would and it seems -- kill himself he's not to. The president then create an actor get reelected. I don't even -- -- president. Political game in the president's stupid unit 2008. Really you know when it was it didn't -- -- -- -- Quality marriage in California. To black people came out and vote it's strong. Stable to stronger tool would do so again I don't see happen. Guy you also people of said that -- I'm not sure Jerry I think. I just think at this point he he's looking at the at the polls and it it really doesn't look very good for right now I think he's just trying to shore up the base. Yes -- without. The ousted two top people don't just a complete and total going to church. And -- history. -- -- -- of the black -- our ability and 60%. All he'll get all white guy topics I don't -- this -- cost them a couple of percentage points but the let's go get mode you also get most of that. I think he's gonna lose -- and so -- states. That's why I heard that today that somebody was saying that that. -- -- them into -- and England from. It's been -- recently and it's been sort. Do you -- and it's an important ambient and so we you know in the from along coastal advocates for the group is premature to think and the problem can. -- -- -- -- -- I had must -- -- I'm prior about gay marriage but I'm from -- I'm one of those people live within half a mile coast have lived half mile coast so. But he you know yeah your your right I mean I. I just don't I'm not sure roll up BP had any if he really had much choice you know he's got he's got to get these people lie excited about it again they they're pretty PO. Your -- one thing though I think keep I think you're one thing he did was see. He he really inoculated. Mitt Romney to a large degree here you know I mean it's going to be you know but the real hardcore conservatives but he the people who want you know that the -- evangelicals who think Mormon is ms. -- The other people yeah the Tea Party people accused of flip flop or a lot of them immunity. They're not. -- -- This is this really does turn off a lot of people Jerry is right about that I think I don't think you're gonna -- too much about Mitt flip flopping anymore either you know. Mean this is Mitt Mitt didn't come out used the the F word flip flop. But. Eat he did pretty much say you know this is one issue that I haven't never waver on and it is an issue we never wavered on mrs. This is not not something you you you know if you -- Mitt Romney you know he's not going to evolve. He's not gonna say you know I was talking. Our spot and a couple of boys tag and after the names of but you know and and you know on and you know they they told me they you know they they. They just can't believe that we don't have gay marriage you know and they can't be carefully that they you know -- and over fox -- -- cam -- dog. What else this country comment. What did double H what the HE double hockey -- -- this country government Mike you're next with -- we are -- Mike. -- thank you're right it is stated in the service members was more telling than is Julio ball. Position in our forums are we still at least I can also object. Right right you know I was wondering about bush you know whenever he would say it's open to you know you know what he he would never say he would birdies albums say I he would always say. The administration. We. Vice President Cheney and I you know what I mean this guy this guy is the he's the king of the first person singular. Well I would generally indicate this but -- -- -- -- the ball in the inauguration it would give this speech is it a little signs that said. The opposite of the president elect's. Yeah. That's I don't -- tenure delegates at the opposite the future president. Too much so we're offs are salary I guess we were actual level and is being out. Yeah yeah could you imagine that you Google audits of going about I'm fighting on behalf of Barack Obama. And you -- you take you know to defend protect the constitution to change that he planned to change the -- now. They're being -- you know another thing it's. Actually do merit -- you don't -- I'm pretty taller person like jail someone right I mean so are there any art business. When I put all my position like Obama -- I didn't get embarrassed -- -- whole side. Wouldn't be -- my position. -- -- Now the exactly. Exactly -- -- I mean again I mean. You always where we are told that if we if we lose a vote or were there or even if it says -- -- eve of the court overturns a vote of the people were supposed to say. Say what that's -- but that's but that's what that's the way the system works. But if if they -- whatever they do lose is is it all was negotiable you know immediately it to -- there's never there's never a final victory over these people you know. And you'll just straight -- right well I McCarrick artistic soul or inaudible don't get away. That process once -- Now they they don't buy it -- and donate it this way it's been. You know this isn't a new thing with with the with well Bob I mean this goes back to the days of FDR. He tried to track record he did like the way the court was go and so we said that. You know everybody every Supreme Court justice over seven the company and I think I should be allowed to appoint a -- one. Some -- left me. You know. Meets this is they this is a an endemic. Problem with -- with the liberals they they just called -- they don't. Based they claim they talk a good game but they they don't re usually really golfer ride anybody else. It is as long as they win their rub their all the. Favor democracy thanks for the call like this you know what the system you know the system works when they win. The system is dysfunctional when they lose 187. Like the way the Democrats -- in Washington is dysfunctional you know. There's too much partisanship the partisan they almost on -- Republicans. You know but I plan about them so of course you know -- -- Chuck Schumer he's a very he's a very bipartisan guy you know. He really yeah yeah and Barack Obama for that matter. 1877469432218774694322. -- Bible wait -- in -- ninety force that he was more pro -- than Ted Kennedy -- but he never said he was pro gay marriage I I don't OP actually said he was -- He said he. He didn't say a bad directly but the fact is he didn't say he was brigade married she's. You UK you can't find me any statement ever made. Saying he was for gay marriage. 1877469432218774694322. 413 how -- I agree about the about Dave Romney Obama helping Romney with his latest -- game -- Glad Obama's kids have such clout in government policy. Wild and Amy Carter G a lot of clout or didn't she didn't that she talked to while. Talk to what Jimmy about the nuclear disarmament. Greg your next with how we cargo ahead Greg.

Putts like. He nearly again he he really didn't take a I mean he he he took Justine and you know why it in the sense of he he took a grand -- I guess is the way to put -- he took a grandstand stand. On gay marriage but he didn't actually. You know we didn't actually put either is actually of skin in the game he doesn't have a what is your. Constitutional amendment or org just there or just a law constitutional amendment CFO. See if two thirds or three quarters of the states would legislatures would OK constitutional amendment.

Do you get along through and could you get a lot through the senate forget the house you couldn't get withdrew the house anyway I don't think you know after the summit. Stood 18774694322. On how we car. 18774694322. Oddly enough though despite his evolution. And growing in office etc. etc. and his flip flopping. His his. Flip flop flip flop. Because that's he's -- started out for gay marriage in 96. Switch when he ran statewide for the first time and in Illinois and then and then remained in bye gay marriage when he ran for president. And I remained gay marriage it might emerge up until -- Yesterday. So he's a flip he's a flip he's a flip flop flip flop. But he's not a -- thing in the party platform. Oddly enough. 18774694322. Meanwhile gay marriage USA. That is a move that they're the ones that are pushing the move the convention petition. That's -- I'm all in favor that PS move the convention battle battle real late. Solidify the base whip. With the battle that north is North Carolina still it's Saturday apostle upstate and I don't think so. 18774694322187746943. Two to succeed. This guy named. What's his name plots. This he's the editor of slate magazine David plots. He says -- do you believe that through exposure to these people the president is actually changed his mind on gay marriage I don't he's always supported. Obama wrote and signed AS survey in 1996. I favor shall we realizing same sex marriages and with fight efforts to prohibit such marriages. So the outcome this is mrs. But you know what he's -- and Robertson -- When at first I thought when I read that headline first clip on note the Chris Matthews say tangle again but then I realized it was that there wasn't a ten or was it she'll. Steve your next with how we cargo ahead stave. You know how you're absolutely right with that first caller Ortiz said. The animal kingdom -- pretty tolerant. Toward duty. Creatures are much more color and human I mean. Look look at yeah governor's son Mitt Romney who is you know the leader of the -- silver -- Cranberry gut. I gang of. And during the -- yes I read the story. OK so but god -- an article he terrorized -- Saying it's too often there are born. -- way to say -- V they don't know that that there was nothing in that story saying that guy was yet he he I don't eat. No don't I don't know no there was there were you read the story very carefully Steve or use you've got the you just listen to on NPR the work to people want other people -- -- that he allegedly jumped on a cot is here. He had he did Biden is here block. Okay right. Okay do this no but -- tell what -- -- and say he was gay bishop was another guy who later came out of the closet. Ed about what he would speak at class a Mitt Romney would sometimes go at a girl which are getting your your right here. I hate to say it's Dijjer you're coming up with a composite here. Number -- a lot. He prepares people in mock gay people he -- it but it left. It's artistically they you know Steve did you ever go to when did drug digital all boys up prep school. -- and what you're you're parochial or would you would would you will you concede to be that perhaps I have more experts with all boys prep schools and you don't. While you're a warrior if you would -- yet. Let me tell you something Steve every body at the all boy uses -- prep school was -- I'm not defending what -- did I you know -- you know it was bad you know he -- -- -- And but but why why are we going back to get Mitt Romney when we still we still don't have the -- the college transcripts. Or the LS ATs -- the SATs for Barack Obama we still don't know why -- a foreign student when he hit. When he went to occidental another going back and they're trying to why did make men into some kind of hold off all up -- -- -- when that wasn't even at such a word. OK okay let's not go back to high school -- let's go back. The California. Referendum on gay marriage to a -- and a couple of years ago. I want to know how much you -- Romney's personal money was funneled through the Mormon Church. The defeat that measure which confirmed he still almost all. Boy that was the that was quite a jump. He wanted to get money to -- the Mormon Church does not believe in gay marriage hasty. What does what does the what orthodox Jews believe about gay marriage. I haven't sort of -- you -- not an ultra orthodox. Okay don't know what it will aren't gonna answer the answer the answer is the orthodox Jews. Don't support gay marriage to. Not -- tolerant of them -- -- we don't call us away. Could try the -- a way to right. All real what what again Steve. Does anybody in this country not have the right to mirroring. Someone. Has got their. Acts. Marriage well you know what we don't need to follow the in -- what steps you have a better economy than now we do but I I don't but I don't agree with your social policy. They were there are now it. What what you know you're Roger what are your Jewish forebears in the old testament what they what they recommend doing to allow homosexuals states. Iraq commander. From treating them with respect. Now I don't think so. I don't thanks so much -- -- treated with respect. I'm gonna say why you have to change the -- you have to change the rules but. Society has always operated under in an end you know for better or for worse and we're basically for better with marriage. And why do we have to change the rules -- for a handful of up people who like to commit sodomy. We don't live in caves there anymore and we realize that the world go round. But what does that have to against Steve do you do you serious -- not okay and we borrow we always we -- all all caddie I think the I think that I I prefer the word flip flop. Steve thanks for the call 18774694322. John your next with how we cargo ahead John. They -- how about we build the American equivalent of an island like Dubai and just begun and it. What he's talking about why -- just put Nevada will build an -- and the American equivalent of Dubai. And we'll put him on that. We we don't you don't listen. I'm not for my first segregating anybody -- that just let's just. You all they talk about their their civil rights are being denied -- there aren't there most of the most civil rights here. I mean you'll still have a right to marry whoever you want as long as it's someone of the same mind is -- have a different gender. You know. You don't have or you don't have the right to Marion nine year old you don't have the right to marry a mammal of another species are all wrapped -- you don't have the you don't have the right to Mary someone -- a blood relative. I mean if you if it marriages and evolving paradigm it is some people are gonna make the claim that it has to evolve so that all of that is going to be out. I totally agree with you I don't like going to the extreme to make their point that's being you know that growth is incredibly narcissistic to displace. You know the majority of the country. What are the foundation. Which isn't a spot foundation. That the firm foundation that people get blocked for now. End if they don't like that that go by -- blood or another different country that you want. Thanks football John 18774694322. Wrecked your next with how we -- had a wreck. -- She can hear you know the conversation going towards not marry fail and all that which sort of been blades you know -- Obama's actual community. I don't put a simple argument put forward that it sort please everybody sort of start it certainly is. -- -- -- -- salute of boot of the concept of marriage why not being able to married to a girl out. Transferred trillion dollars to eliminate poverty. All you get there shall we would take back. It that that each other that our child that you can check in Europe and if so they can carry the day. -- eliminate poverty and it -- it's got it obviously. This is sort of crazy concept but it's no more crazy and then what we've been disgusting. Julia you know Julia that that that. Cartoon figure in the the Obama campaign now website I mean she's basically buried to the state -- Yet despite that she decides quote unquote decides to have a child but no I ever shows up it's just she decides to have a child.

Debate yesterday about -- -- systems -- that great a complete as -- -- -- -- on on the but it's no more -- -- your proposed. No they are they are the you -- lot of these are single mothers on welfare are in -- married to the state thanks -- thanks for the car -- I mean obviously the state can't biologically father of the child but -- this is the lead the state assumes all the -- Responsibilities.
