Bushies being against being against 'gay marriage'

Along the lines of uncovering the fissures within the Republican establishment, there are two groups that are 'coming out' against being against gay marriage.

Most obviously, the otherwise steadfast Log Cabin Republicans are rolling out a commercial (View Here) which includes a speech given by Vice President Dick Cheney on his 2000 campaign. They point out: that 'Candidate Bush' ran as a compassionate conservative, but also that he also ran as a governor who supported Federalism and states’ rights. To boot: 2000 Vice-Presidential candidate Cheney claimed that each state had the right to determine its position on its own, specifically regarding the issue of 'gay marriage'.

Least obvious, however, is a position coming out of the far-from-liberal town of Waco, Texas, where the Baylor University (the oldest Baptist University in the world") newspaper comes out too:

“Like many heterosexual couples... many gay couples share deep bonds of love, some so strong they’ve persevered years of discrimination for their choice to co-habitate with and date one another. Just as it isn’t fair to discriminate against someone for their skin color, heritage or religious beliefs, it isn’t fair to discriminate against someone for their sexual orientation. Shouldn’t gay couples be allowed to enjoy the benefits and happiness of marriage, too?"

At any given moment, an arrow must be either where it is or where it is
not. But obviously it cannot be where it is not. And if it is where
it is, that is equivalent to saying that it is at rest.
