Poor liberals never see it coming since they always swallow the MSM propaganda without question.

Free America52 says the current numbers are 61-39. Decisive numbers. Great news, the leftist creeps in Asheville didn't tip the numbers!

In the last day or so, Gallup had a poll that allegedly showed support for gay marriage was at 50%. Yep. 50/50 for the first time ever...

How do you reconcile that with the fact that referendums have been defeated in 30 states.... 30-0- a perfect score?

Propaganda much, MSM?

Eight more states and that would be enough for a federal marriage amendment.

“NC approves amendment on gay marriage”

Never a more misleading headline.

The current number are actually 61-39. Geez, I'd bet the 39 are democrats.

Actually some of the strongest support for the amendment came from the black counties.

My thought exactly. My nomination for worst, most misleading headline of the year.

Exactly. It’s like saying they approved an amendment on “square circles”.

Don’t waste your time hoping.
This will be overturned by a court in short order.
And Obama is going to do his best to steal the election. Even if the handout crowd says home, ACORN will vote ‘em, where they can get away with it.

They poll Democrats heavily and only in NYC and San Fagcisco.

Actually Rush just spent 2 segments talking about this

Folks don't want to be considered homophobic, so they lie to the posters.. Once in the booth, they do the right thing
