Polls schmolls.

[Jeff Chandler]

Media polls are useful in that they give insight into what the dinosaur media WISHES were true.

[madprof98]

People are now evenly split on allowing adoptions by gay couples and six in 10 now favor allowing gays to serve openly in the military.

Put it on the ballot and see all this marvelous new support vanish into thin air.

[mlc9852]

I think people who oppose homosexual special rights are just getting tired of the fight and I think that is what the homosexuals are counting on. Just wear us down and make enough noise and they will get what they want. How long before America becomes just as bad as Europe?

Liberals and the media wins polls.

Conservatives win elections.

Poll: Opposition to Gay Marriage Declining

Not in my universe!

And I've noticed recent news which contradicts this from France, Canada, even San Francisco!

[EagleUSA]

The libs (including the MSM) will be generating more "polls", conducted to achieve their agenda, over the next two years, such that we will be in a state of nausea.

People DO NOT favor gay marriage at all, and only the liberal leftist fringe does (and gays) do. But just look at the by-line --- AP. That says it all.

[Smokin' Joe]

DUnno about their polls, but I am still 100% opposed to calling that "marriage".

[Unam Sanctam]

The propaganda campaign and the campaign to demonize anyone who believes homosexual activity is immoral is working!

[Abathar]

BS, put it to a vote and see how it does, That would give a much better idea as to the real feelings on that subject...

[goldstategop]

They lie. Its just a made-up number tossed out there. Just like they lied about the depth of public opposition to the War. And just like they lied about how 70% of the country supposedly hates President Bush.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

[FormerLib]

I guess they are just baffled at the continuing success of legislation banning "homosexual marriage" across the nation.

[zerosix]

If these lies by "pollsters" are correct, why does every state that votes on Defense of Marriage Acts pass unconditionally, even in Liberal Oregon?

[Siena Dreaming]

A couple of years ago they put gay marriage on a referendum in Hawaii and it failed miserably.

If it failed in Hawaii, it won't succeed on any referendum in the US IMO.

[caisson71]

The MSM always lives on the kook fringes and pass of their polls as "most".

[Tabi Katz]

ASsuming this poll is even accurate - and that's a giant leap - it's an indication that the law acts as a guide or "teacher." Legalize any behavior and people quickly begin to think it's OK.

[Explorer24]

I hope I don't see any kitties for this.....

Can someone lay out the opposition to gay marriage for me, specifically:

1. Are people (here, GOP, Conservatives in general,etc.) opposed to "civil unions" and/or any legal recognition of rights between homosexual partners (hospital visitation, property, etc.)?

2. What is the basis for this? (besides religion, eg. public welfare, safety, health, etc.)

Preemptive disclaimer: Don't zot me for asking, I'm trying to understand the viewpoints out there to better formulate my own opinion.

Thanks in advance.

[gakrak]

Were supposed to believe a AP poll? Nah. Amen.

[rattrap]

That's why it couldn't pass in freakin commie Oregon...

[Soul Seeker]

That's why Liberals in Legislatures are trying so hard to prevent the bills banning gay marriage from receiving a vote in an a election year?

They are cooking the polls. Anyone that cites a poll to me I am officially going to disregard from this moment on. Posting such an obviously rigged result proves without doubt their polls are junk.
