Schwarzenegger To Fight Initiative On Gay Marriage Ban?
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says if an initiative to ban gay marriage qualifies for the November ballot, he's prepared to fight it.
California's governor was in San Diego today speaking at the annual convention of the Log Cabin Republicans, the nation's largest gay Republican group.
Schwarzenegger said he was confident that a ban would never pass in California but called the effort "a waste of time" -- joking that he wished activists would focus on allowing naturalized citizens to run for president instead.
Notice of course who he was speaking to.
Now, Arnold has vetoed bills legalizing gay marriage on two occasions. And each time he has retreated to referencing a prior "defense of marriage" initiative passed in 2000, and saying that "the people have spoken" on this matter. Now, however, he'd like the people to speak in a different way, I guess.
Wonder what's going on here...

The governator wet his finger and stuck it in the wind
He realized the wind is actually blowing in a different direction than he thought.

The people have already spoken on the matter, by popular vote. Thats why he vetoed the bills. They did not reflect the peoples voice.

I don't think he has reversed himself. He, like myself, sees no reason to change what is. The people have spoken, and this measure is redundant and seems on the face of it, devisive. I say, leave well enough alone.
