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.

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.
