Why does [not so] gay marriage keep losing at the ballot box?
Because people know that when two boys or two girls embrace, the fun parts don’t fit.
“I don’t care. California and NY are depraved”
The United States isn’t a loose confederation of completely different countries that just happen to share borders like Europe.
We’re one nation, and if you say CA and NY are depraved, you’re saying the United States of America is depraved. And that may very well be. But it doesn’t let you and your goody-two-shoes state, whatever it is, off the hook. It makes it your problem.
So stop trying to distance yourself. You’re not better than CA/NY.
cmon, everyone in the lamestream media has the answer to this one...
It’s because voters are STOOPID! they’re STOOPID! STOOPID STOOPID STOOPID STOOPID STOOPID!!!!!
Don’t believe me just wait and see the op-eds the day after Obama loses the election.
“the poll she (the writer) cites show that the majority of Americans AGREE with it... “
A poll is not a vote.
“We’re one nation, and if you say CA and NY are depraved, you’re saying the United States of America is depraved. And that may very well be. But it doesn’t let you and your goody-two-shoes state, whatever it is, off the hook. It makes it your problem.

Jeez. Someone must have touched a nerve.
Not a minor point...and one that won't show up in the type of polling done on this issue. By a large margin, the majority of people are accepting of their gay family members, friends and co-workers. They're just not interested in the details. And this is where the militant gay activists weigh in. Their goal is to have elementary schools put on rainbow pride parades in your neighborhood with mandatory attendance. Anyone caught not throwing fabulous confetti gets sent to the Village People tolerance camp.
These votes are about a line in the sand...and are largely out of self defense. It's heterosexuals who just want to be left alone.
Sadly, Gay marriage will become accepted as law of the land under the pretense of “civil rights” If Obama is elected again I hope a bloody revolution starts so we can have some hope...My first post. I have been a lurker for years and have enjoyed reading everyones comments but now I must get involved more.
“Primaries, like the one in North Carolina last night, are particularly low turnout affairs— giving opponents to gay marriage the edge.”
The leftists are OK with low turnout when the result is a millage increase! In fact, they hope for low turnouts when tax increases are an issue.
I don’t think there is any big mystery! When we get to vote on our values, most Americans will vote to retain our Judeo-Christian morals. It’s only when we don’t have a choice that the crazies get to erode our standards. For instance, do you think that The Ten Commandments would be taken down from any courtroom if the people could vote on it?
yeah, I actually think it is a problem of urban(e) versus not urban and the urbans think they know best...
btw............I’m in the flyover zone
