>>I ask Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler County, who's pushing a state marriage amendment that easily passed the House last night and now heads for the Senate about risks of political backfire.

"It really isn't political," he insists, "It's for the good of the Commonwealth."

Ohhh... kay.

I don't doubt some sincere people sincerely see gay marriage as threatening civilization. (Though same-sex marriage has been legal in Massachusetts for two years and as far as I know Boston hasn't turned into a pillar of salt.) But political leaders who push this - Bush, Sens. Frist and Santorum, legislative leaders in Harrisburg - insult and cheat their broader constituencies.

There are real issues to tend to. This isn't one of them. And politically? It doesn't make sense to pretend it is.<<
