Good for you, Florida
TN voters have already passed a Marriage Act
Time for the liberals to sue.
Btw, Gov. Charlie Christ is gay.
Thats ‘Crist’.
This is a waste of time. If the voters pass it, the homosexual special interest crowd will find some bonehead “judge” somewhere who will declare it “unconstitutional.”
Actually it may lock of FL for the GOP this fall. These ballot ammendment bring out GOP voters who might stay at home. They are not voting for Hillary. I guess some might vote for Obama?
“This is a waste of time.”
No it’s not a waste of time. It will bring conservatives out en masse to vote in November. And while they are there, they’ll vote for the Republican candidate. If turnout helps the Republican candidate, who really cares about what the courts decide about the amendment?
McCain won the FL primary because of record turnout due to a homestead tax amendment on the ballot, and Charlie Crist’s endorsement. Moderate and liberal Republicans who probably would have stayed home, came out to vote for the amendment...and ended up voting for McCain while they were there.
Well, unless the Democrat dominated Florida Supreme Court finds a way to rule this out of the ballot, it looks like there will but a strong Republican turnout come November regardless of who is the nominee.
How can a “constitutional amendment” be unconstitutional? By definition it becomes part of the Constitution.
Well, he had to move to the left to be worthy to endorse John McCain.
We straight people have made marriage a disaster ourselves, I don’t see why gays want anything to do with it.
(Sorry, just venting because my brother is being sued by his recently-divorced ex-wife for alimony... Even though she has a Ph. D. and he has nothing more than a high school diploma. Thankfully, they did not have children.)
He did support that backstabber McCain, but just like Romney, Crist moved to the right to run for office. Most suspect he is closeted, and like Larry Craig, a Mark Foley type. Now that he is in office, he has been showing his lib colors. Both Gov. Crist and the Florida Pink and Lavender (Red & Blue) Committee can go sit on tacks.
They’ll be howling like crazy in November. Lord willing, at least for this amendment, I’ll be screaming hooray and praising the Lord at the top of my lungs.
Everywhere it is put to a vote, it passes by huge margins. That’s why the queers work so hard to keep it off the ballot.
Well until I see evidence that black candidates poll better than the votes they receive, I will still believe that to be the case.
As for the tired old story of Republicans voting for Dims every four years, at least there would be a possibility with Obama that there most certainly was not with Kerry.
Something is wrong with this picture. Florida Republicans supported John McCain AND defense of marriage. John McCain supports gay marriage.
prove it.
“This is a waste of time. If the voters pass it, the homosexual special interest crowd will find some bonehead “judge” somewhere who will declare it “unconstitutional.””
It’s not a waste of time at all. Even if such a judge is found, you’re declaring defeat before anything has happened. Also, it will be good for future people to know that the voters of Florida did this. It’s a statement of principle.
“Everywhere it is put to a vote, it passes by huge margins. That’s why the queers work so hard to keep it off the ballot.”
It didn’t pass in Arizona. I’m not sure what happened there.
