Democrats, Embrace Same-Sex Marriage Now!

Nevada, California, Texas, Kansas, Alabama, Colorado, Idaho, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arizona, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Missouri and Alaska have all had the issue put before a popular vote and in all cases it was clear that the people do not support same sex marriage. In some cases it was 81% of the voters casting a resounding no vote. In Iowa, where the activist judges made same sex legal, those judges were voted out of office in their next election, which was a measure of displeasure of the voting public.

So that would be 28 states where the majority of voters have made their objections clear. That does not sound like an issue that someone running for national office should be hitching a mule to. And it is definitely not a mandate.

Yet every poll says that a majority of Americans support same sex marriage, the latest poll by NBC/WSJ has the figure at 54%. The problem is they say they support same-sex marriage but once they go into the voting booth they have a change of heart.

What's with the title of this thread? Trying to start a Democratic revolution on FreeOnes isn't going to work.

There are far more of the non-voting type that support gay marriage than those that oppose it. Opposition to something has always been a stronger driver for voters than support.
 
I'd like to take a little credit for the president coming out in support of this issue. Now that same-sex marriage is taken care of......Democrats embrace the legalization of drugs(at least marijuana) now!

I gives a damn about polls. Take a look at how many Americans supported abolition, up to and when slavery was actually abolished. Take a look at how unpopular the Emancipation Proclamation was when it finally was signed.

You guys who think you can legalize and institutionalize discrimination give me the chili-farts.

Silly Mayhem, you can't read. I never said anything about legalizing discrimination, so your chili-farts obviously come from an inproper diet.

^^^ Your post was included, in a minor kind of way, to help me make my point. I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth, although it does appear that I was. The "you guys" I was refering to was more to just Conservatives in general.

Not one of my better responses.

But you made up for it with a good response, so all is forgiven.

Now like liberal tradition demands, we must smoke from the non-denominational bong of no hard feelings.
