Secondly, the premise of the blog was:  John McCain is not really very conservative, but since he believes that gays shouldn't have the same rights (maybe...who knows what the liar really believes) as heterosexuals, we should be ok with him.  what a horrible reason to support someone.  

The issue of marriage should not be a government issue at all.  No one gay or straight should need permission (a license) to get married, and no one should get preferential treatment or vice versa for being married.
