Screw Prop 8! If you are gay, stay in the closet!
Regular (straight, normal) people shouldn’t
have to see or know your gay! What you do behind closed doors is your business, just as it is for
straight (normal) people. Marriage is sacred,
for a man and woman (bible say’s so)! Why is
it so imprtant for you guy’s to get married
anyway? Queers don’t need tax breaks!!!!!!!

BTW, no matter how eight goes, IMO, people are now far far more accepting of the right of gay people to marry, most of the younger people (not of my generation) seem to think it’s INSANE gay people are discriminated against, legally.

Discrimination is wrong.

Fight the good fight, every time, a little more progress is made…

Amy,

Three “no on 8″ votes just cast from my house.

We know Oblahblah is a liar. Why would he change now, it’s worked so well for him.

Yeah, first time voters going heavily for Obama. HOWEVER, that’s only 10% of the vote in Indiana. Totally overwhelmed by 30% of White Males voting for McCain with wide margin. Haven’t heard about White Women…guess we’re not too important today. Tomorrow we’ll be all the rage if we manage to be the deciding factors…all of us are racist of course.
White Males going for McCain in VA and OHio!!

Only one person in my neighborhood needed a ride to the polling place. No lines and she was in and out in less than 10 minutes…I had called the RNC recommendations to her on the phone.

Exit poll person…1 young student. She was taking a lot of time with another student who had come out. She must have missed at least 4 or 5 people who just walked by.

Everyone behaves as if California doesn’t exist. What a wild ride it would be if we went Red.

I like to visualize both of them being sworn in and then at the Inaugural Ball that night.

Part of an article I have archived:

Obama snub still rankles Newsom
C.W. Nevius

Tuesday, February 5, 2008

Seeing Mayor Gavin Newsom on the national stage with former president Bill Clinton on Monday night is a reminder of how political winds can change. On the eve of the biggest night of the presidential primaries, Newsom shared the spotlight during a town hall meeting staged and broadcast on cable TV and satellite radio by the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign.

But just four years ago, current Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is said to have declined to have his picture taken in San Francisco with Newsom, who was then at the center of a national uproar over his decision to allow same-sex marriage in San Francisco.

“I gave a fundraiser, at his (Obama’s) request at the Waterfront restaurant,” said former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. “And he said to me, he would really appreciate it if he didn’t get his photo taken with my mayor. He said he would really not like to have his picture taken with Gavin.”

Let’s see – do you understand the concept of “fine edge?” Or PANDERING?? The very clear implication from the letter is that Obama isn’t opposed to same sex marriage. He most definitely is, and has made that clear. He is PANDERING to CA by saying, “oh, no – even though I am against it, I don’t think they should change it now” crapola. And, if you had bothered to look at the link to the NY Times article, it makes it quite clear that BECAUSE of Obama, Prop 8 could very well pass.

In terms of blinders, before you worry abt the speck in my eye, take out the log in yours (to paraphrase Matt. 7:1-5).

I dunno about Michigan. Everyone gave up on us here even Oblahblah isn’t putting a whole lot of time in. I can’t even look at my neighbor since he decided to let me in on the fact that, although he has been a lifetime Republican, he’s voting for CHANGE. He’s the very guy that will be affected by the redistribution of wealth, but he says he needs change. My son says all the kids at school are wearing O shirts and telling kids who dare to admit that their parent’s aren’t supporters that they’re racists.

Thanks for sharing the updates from the ground.

I just spoke to my sister who lives in VA…she’s a democrat who voted for McCain. She said an exit pollster approached her about an interview. The pollster was initally interested when she said that she was democrat. When my sister told the pollster that she voted for McCain – the pollster became uninterested.

Don’t be silly. The letter objected to Obama being portrayed as a supporter of Prop 8, which, as you acknowledge in your post, he is not. So there is nothing improper in the letter. It doesn’t say he supports same sex marriage at all; the fact that you’re making a big deal out of this just shows how narrow your blinders are when it comes to Obama. Don’t blame the No on 8 people for the problems you have with Obama; all they’re doing here is reacting appropriately to a deceptive advertising campaign.

Yes, and as much as it will fill me with pride to see John McCain standing behind the podium with the REAL presidential seal, nothing will beat the sight of Sarah Palin stepping up to the gavel as presiding officer of the U.S. Senate!

I went to the Republican county headquarters where I live this weekend to volunteer for the McCain campaign. I was talking to one of the local party officials and I identified myself as a Hillary Clinton supporter. The woman said to me she felt the Democratic party never really cared about women’s issues they just cared about getting women’s votes.

It was such a simple statement and yet I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. The truth of it was almost too much to bear.

Good luck to everyone today and thank you for all your efforts.
