Title: Ellen DeGeneres asks John McCain to walk her down

Republican John McCain says same-sex couples should be allowed to enter into legal agreements for insurance and other purposes, but he opposes gay marriage and believes in "the unique status of marriage between and man and a woman."

"And I know that we have a respectful disagreement on that issue," the likely Republican presidential nominee said in an interview to air Thursday on "The Ellen DeGeneres show."

McCain, who also opposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ban same-sex unions, said people should be encouraged to enter into legal agreements, particularly for insurance and other areas where decisions need to be made.

QUOTE

Last week, after the California Supreme Court cleared the way for gay marriage in that state, DeGeneres announced on her program her engagement to longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi.

QUOTE

"We are all the same people, all of us. You're no different than I am. Our love is the same," she said. "When someone says, 'You can have a contract, and you'll still have insurance, and you'll get all that,' it sounds to me like saying, 'Well, you can sit there, you just can't sit there.'

"It feels like we are not, you know, we aren't owed the same things and the same wording," DeGeneres said.

McCain said he's heard her "articulate that position in a very eloquent fashion. We just have a disagreement. And I, along with many, many others, wish you every happiness."

DeGeneres steered the conversation back toward the humor she's known for.

"So, you'll walk me down the aisle? Is that what you're saying?" she asked.

"Touche," McCain said.

Yeah, I'm a little bit disgusted that he didn't make more of a stand.

Ha! Funny. I didn't see it. What did he say?

This is all he said: "McCain said he's heard her "articulate that position in a very eloquent fashion. We just have a disagreement. And I, along with many, many others, wish you every happiness.""

I know he didn't want to ruffle any feathers and get too "heavy" or whatever on her show but come ON!! Stand up for what you believe!! :soapbox:

I think that might be what he really believes. If you look at his record, he has not been nearly as conservative as he has played himself to be during the past year.

That's one the reasons he did the whole operation caous deal. The dem's for the most part an left winged liberal media run out any of the decent republican candiates an we got left wit Mcain.. another sad day for the US I say
