Pace's Morality Comment Seperates '08 Field

The chairman of the Joint Cheifs of Staff, General Pace's morality comment on gays has unknowingly had an effect on the '08 Presidential run for both parties. In the rising controversy, Presidential candidates are weighing in with whether they believe Pace's comment was appropriate and with where their owns beliefs stand.

Kansas Senator and Republican hopefully Sam Brownback stated that criticism of Pace's comments were, "both unfair and unfortunate." Sen Brownback further stated that he believes homosexual acts are indeed immoral. Barack Obama stated that he did not agree with Pace's comments. Hillary Clinton stated that It was for others to conclude whether homosexuality is immoral or not. After receiving pressure from gay friends, she reversed her statement and stated that homosexuality is not immoral.

It is about time a Republican stood up and stated what the majority of America agrees with and wants to hear: Homosexuality is immoral, wrong and should not be condoned by any municipal, state or federal government.

On the flip side, this issue has brought to light yet another example of the Democratic shortcomings in their hopes to take the White House in '08. On top of Obama's lack of responsibility, past drug use and limited time in elected office, you can now add lack of morals to the list. Clinton's beliefs and comments on this subject are even more disturbing. In an effort to dodge the issue, she tried to put the ball back in the individuals court to make the decision. However, as a President you need to lead in the face of opposition and criticism. She failed. Then she changed her mind under pressure from gay constituents. A President cannot lead from the armchair always making decisions to please others. She failed again.

If you want to be elected then state what you believe and stick to your guns. Let the votes fall where they may.
