Just heard on noon-time news that Michigan Court of Appeals has placed the Anti-gay marriage ballot proposal on the ballot.
Petition was cetified with well over 100,000 plus extra signatures, but partisan Board of Canvassers split 2-2 along party lines to prevent it from being on November ballot.
Dems claimed it was too vaguely worded (not their job to make that decision).
Court of Appeals has overruled Canvassers, and as of right now it will be on the ballot and thus help the turnout for conservative voters in Michigan.

Why bother? Some judge will just overturn the results anyway.

The hits just keep on coming!
- Decent job growth (1.7 million past 12 months, 144k in August)
- Drop in unemployment rate to 5.4%
- Strong GOP convention
- Gay marriage ban on ballot in Michigan
- Nader on ballot in Michigan
- John Kerry is the Democrat nominee (the biggest blow)

It's a mystery to me why so many republicans are homophobes. Gay people just want the same health insurance, tax breaks etc. that married heterosexuals enjoy. There's nothing immoral or radical about that. This kind of reactionary legislation will hurt republicans in the long run.

'Anti-gay marriage amendment '
The left keeps calling it 'anti-gay', and we all fall for it; it is actually traditional marriage protection. The constitution guarantees God giving rights; marriage between a man and a woman is a God giving right, so an amendment to protect such right should not be called anti-gay.

Well Chalk up Michigan in the R column. I know it shows Kerry by 5 or so right now, but with Gay marriage on the ballot and Kerry and Dems being for gay marriage... that will change big time by election day.
