1. I figured that would happen.
I voted against it, but knew as I was doing it that it would probably pass. Ugh.

7. I have to believe...
that in the long run we will prevail. Times change, and so does what society deems as acceptable. It is inevitable that we will overturn the travesty of civil rights.

8. I think that's what's going to save the GOP butt in TN and VA.
I'm pretty sure both Republicans will win on the heels of such a thing as not giving rights to ALL Americans.

10. If they put slavery back on the ballot

I have no doubt at least...13 states would pass it. Keep fighting the good fight out there.

11. Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment
I cannot figure out why same sex marriage becomes the hot political issue when there are far more important issues that we need to deal with. Affordable health care insurance, the economy, the Iraq War...all of these should be issues that politicians should focus on. I have no problem at all when two consenting adults chose to marry. In my opinion, focus on real issues that affect us, not something as same sex marriage.

:banghead:
