The gay marriage issue put George W. Bush in office in 2004, and therefore contributed heavily to the "Great Recession." Using it as a wedge is vital to the religious right/Tea Party Republican strategy. We are defined as a nation by how we treat our pariahs: gays, atheists, Muslims and illegal immigrants. There is far more at stake here than a label slapped on gay relationships. It is a key determinant in the very future of democracy.

In all European civilized countries there is socialist healthcare payed by richer citizens for the poorer side of the population. Some who call themselves American patriots, like Bill O'Reily foreinstance don't recognize the concept of egalitarianism and are happy to keep their fellow American citizens as needy third world country citizens who needs the cares of international charities to provide them for healthcare.

It sadly appears to me that the Public Option has been temporarily pushed off the governments health care agenda.
