There were a couple of states a few years ago in which the issue of same-sex marriage was on the ballot (perhaps Louisiana and Missouri, but I may be wrong). It was on the ballot during special elections or primaries that only involved Democrats. In both cases more than 70% of the voters chose to prohibit same-sex marriage in their state—in elections in which those voting were almost entirely Democrats.
The poster finds another “gotcha” article to post, thinking that social issues will be the death knell for Rick Santorum, not realizing that, for every liberal Republican that Santorum loses, he probably gains at least one Democrat.
Some say that Santorum can’t win because of the social issues. Those who don’t like Santorum should simply say that they don’t like him or his convictions. Saying that he can’t win is merely a subterfuge for many of those who oppose him.
Gay marriage isn’t going to be the single, biggest issue of the 2012 election.
It’s the freaking economy, the crushing debt, and the impending collapse of our system of government.
GAY MARRIAGE ISN’T THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE OF THE 2012 ELECTION.
CONTRACEPTION IS NOT IMPORTANT. SANTORUM’S FIRST ARTICLE ON HIS “ISSUES” PAGE IS ABOUT THE MENACE OF “ILLEGAL PORNOGRAPHY”. HIS PHOTOS ARE SHOVED FULL WITH AS MANY CHILDREN AS HE CAN FIT.
THIS... IS... NOT... WHAT... THIS... CAMPAIGN... SHOULD... BE... ABOUT!!!
If you think this vapid stuff is going anywhere, you’re out of your mind. People aren’t going to get up and go vote in mass to support a Catholic, who represents a minority religion of mostly left leaning people in the United States of America.
