So in the year 2000, 61.4% of Californians voted yes on Prop 22 to define marriage as a man + woman. Where did we lose our values over the last 8 years?

Cali has created the world they deserve, why anyone who remotely cares about their kids or the next generation is still living there is beyond me.

Let the bohemians have it, and let them f*@$ themselves all to death, bot literally and figuratively.

Propaganda!

The source is a gay-friendly paper and everybody asked was probably gay.

Uh-huh. Sure. People are probably lying about how they will vote. Don’t want to seem uncool or mean.

If this fails to pass, I’m sure you’ll see some “conservatives” wanting to overturn the will of the voters, the very thing they’re angry at the California Supreme Court for. The one-trick pony of gay marraige fear isn’t going to work anymore. Why don’t we go back to focusing on lower taxes, cutting spenidng, and shirnking government, and forget about this crap.

I’m reading here that the queers and queer-sympathizers are in the majority in this, the biggest of all the Left Coast States.

This poll could be phony, of course.

Either Californians don’t know why they’re against gay marriage or they are in favor of it.

How could it have failed so badly last time it was tested at the ballot box, if this is an accurate picture of California?

Something doesn’t seem right.

I believe this “poll” like I believe L.A. Times, CNN, or New York Times “polls”. This measure will pass by a margin of 5% or more. Mark my words. This is just the media attempting to bias the public and set the stage. But it will pass, bet on it.

LOL...Field Poll.

You always have to shift at least 10% in the conservative direction to correct their polls.

By comparison, here is a part of the Field Poll from August, 1982:
       PCT     N  VALUE  LABEL
      60.9   523      1  BRADLEY
      37.6   323      2  DUKMEJIN
       1.5    13      3  OTHER
             148      8  UDECIDED

The Field Poll is bunk... its as far Lefty as they come.

SFGate is certainly seeing what they want to see. The Hispanic population here will pass Prop. 8; they’ll gladly vote democrat so they can get on the gravy train of government handouts - but they’re all at least marginally Catholic and will oppose gay marriage.

I think it will pass. This poll is bogus.

I wager anything that this poll is much more “opposed” than the other polls, including November’s.

I, for one, intent to stand and be counted by donating to ProtectMarriage.com, the organization that sponsors the amendment.

Donate at least $1,000 and you get your name listed on a homo-leftist hate site that you can proudly display to your friends and relatives.
