17. Equal rights for Americans should be a non-issue.

The Constitution is supposed to already say as such.

All the issues have to be weighed and civil union equality is not the highest ranking one I can think of right now.

Besides, the pubz use it as a wedge issue. Why give them free ammo?

Offshoring, the economy (a lot of which has been hurt by offshoring) healthcare, sensible energy usage, et al, seem to be more important issues. (I'm not against nation building, but for all the talk the US is slipping behind, something has to be done from within. Bringing in temporary workers under the guise of 'immigrants' does nobody any good.)
