That is hardly the way to engender fair and open debate or to show tolerance or to honor the dignity of all Americans. As this debate opened. I quoted the Presidents thoughtful words from the immigration debate. He said: "We cannot build a unified country by inciting people to anger. or playing on anyones fears. or exploiting the issue of immigration for political gain. We must always remember that real lives will be affected by our debates and decisions. and that every human being has dignity and value ...." I wish that yesterday the President had honored that thought and merely substituted the issue of "marriage" for "immigration". The President is seeking to show leadership in the immigration debate and I have commended him for it. I cannot commend him for what he did yesterday. Just before the last election.
