I will keep my personal feelings to myself, but what I DO know is this debate is draining, and utterly fruitless.
Here in Indiana, our state legislature went through about 2 weeks of deadlock because noone could agree- the Republicans wanted the state constitution amended, the Democratic Speaker of the House wouldn't let the bill out of committee, so the Republicans walked out of the chamber and refused to participate.
In the meantime, the legislative session expired with no significant business getting finished, including funding for full-day kindergarten.
I am a cold-blooded, heartless conservative bastard republican to the core, but I mean come on... when education is slammed to the back of the agenda over a 4th grade-esque impasse over whether or not a bunch of gays schlepping each other can have health care included?
Who elects these people anyways???
