Maine voters repeal gay-marriage law

You made the argument that the first tactic was not deceitful. I was simply proving that it was.

The only "deceitful" part is the claim that they WILL BE teaching homosexuality in schools.....the fact is, they already are.

That's only marginally "deceitful", and considering the whoppers the Messiah supporters were swallowing whole, without even washing it down with a good bourbon, its nothing.

And you people are still not admitting that Prop 8 would have failed except for the Messiah Worshippers. It's their fault the proposition passed, they broke solidarity with their limp-wristed allies.

So what you're saying is that people stupid enough to vote for The Messiah were also stupid enough to listen to the Mormon church? They weren't intelligent enough to develop their own bigotries, they only became anti-gay by watching commercials on TV?

You too refused to address the fact that Proposition 8 was pushed over the top by a large percentage of Messiah voters.

I agree....I am disappointed that some Obama Supporters were misled by the deceitful attacks.

As far as Taught Homosexuality....you'll have to ask the Mormon church what that means.
 
By the way...

I don't care if we let people know the truths and myths about homosexuality, but there are age limits, and living in NH, I get some Maine ads on mah TV set and one commercial talked about how they wanted to discuss it with Kindergartners...that's a little to young to be talking about anything sex related in my opinion.

Nice.

A good question, though, is, how does a school teach "marriage"? When I was a kid, in the dark ages when phonetics was the right way to teach reading and everyone knew what a multiplication table was, no one ever taught marriage.

Most of the kids had parents, who were married - FOREVER - and those that didn't were usually jealous.

Now my girls are in the minority, since their parents not only live together but are actually married legally.

So how does a school define marriage to these kids from broken homes, to use a completely intolerable totally un-PC anachronistic phrase that, for some of you, means Maximally Optimized Living and Sleeping Arrangements With Multiple Addresses and Partner Variability, but for us old farts means "damn selfish adults who can't fulfill their obligations to their children."

How about

"Today we're going to talk about 'marriage', boys and girls. Marriage is what happens when you meet someone you really love and you make vows to love them forever, and then you're usually divorced two years later...with kids."

It's clearly better when the kid's parents, not the schools undertake certain aspects of the child's upbringing.

Some?

How about a full quarter of them were bigots.

Ya can't blame it all on the mormons. You people have to either start admitting you're responsible for your actions or stop demanding the privilege of voting.

You shouldn't be allowed to vote if you can't act as a responsible adult.

I vote my conscience. I can't control how others vote....though I may try.

Obama very clearly stated that he does not support same sex marriage, he only supports civil unions. In fact, it was Bill Clinton who signed the Defense of Marriage Act. There is little basis to argue that gay marriage is a party issue. The majority of both parties is against it. It tends to be more of a religious issue than a political issue.

Not everyone who is against Gay marriage is against it for religious reasons. Some of them just don't like homos. :)


also, 'Parties' is plural so that IS should be an ARE


JAWOHL MEIN GRAMMATIKFÜHRER!!

English is not my first language but isn't majority the primary noun in that sentence?

"Majority of the Parties" makes it plural. The "Majority of each Party" would have been the singular. but hey, the GRAMMATIKFÜHRER has been wrong before. But since English isn't your first language, I will congratulate you on learning one of the most annoying and asinine languages ever devised. Kudos.


Edit: You know what, It might work either way...No one likes Direct Objects and Predicates anyways.

This vote just goes to show why liberals prefer the usage of judicial fiats to foist their ideas on the American people. When idiotic liberal policies are placed on ballots, they are overwhelmingly rejected. The American people are not as stupid as liberals wish they were...

I think you underestimate the power of liberals in large numbers.

I have every right to call the....never mind, I've got the right to say it, but this is a privately run board with rules I've agreed to not violate, so that right is curtailed here in a manner that I don't disagree with.



We should keep that in mind, here in California, and start convincing our Congress things and Senators that no state should be more federal tax dollars than they've sent to Washington, and that California should start collecting the surplus we've wasted on the rest of the nation over the years.

Who cares? The first amendment doesn't have **** to do with your comment. You complained that you weren't a participant in a poll of Sen Snowe's approval. You don't get a damn vote, you ain't a constituent. You get Boxer and Feinstein. Have fun with that :rofl

Why? Democratic processes rarely work to remove oppressive/unequal treatment of a minority. :2wave: And when they do, it is years, decades, or even centuries later than it should have happened.

Not for long Navy....not for long. The elections get closer and closer each time they are put to a vote. The atittudes in America are changing and changing rapidly. Either get with the program or you are going to be steamrolled.
Don't like gay marriage? You'd better get used to the idea soon.

'Liberal Judges' ARE plural, Navy. Not to mention, the left uses many of the same avenues of the right to get their 'radical' agenda through. That's called the "Magick of Politiks"

When you're looking at the [left/right] from the [right/left] they sure do look radical AAAAALLLLLL the way over there.
