Amendment 2 - Passed. The most controversial-- the Florida marriage protection amendment. Voters in Florida decided to identify marriage as the union between a man and a woman, nothing else-- banning gay marriage and extra benefits for domestic partnerships. Florida will now be one of approximately 30 states with a definition of marriage in its constitution.
"the most controversial"
Liberalism is never controversial to media liberals.
It passed and the media reported it. these days, that’s only slightly short of being a miracle.
Blame the blacks and hispanics.
With all the liberal north easterners who have moved here I’m surprised the marriage amendment passed.
From my view up in NH, not nearly enough have left.
IF it was controversial, it would have been mentioned by CNN, MSNBC, or even FNC.
NOT ONE PEEP
ZIP!
nothing from
olberman, shep smith, or anderson cooper
NOT A WORD
For thousands of years, the de facto ban on gay marriage wasn’t controversial.
Now, after two decades of propagands, it’s suddenly “controversial”?
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
ALPAPilot,
not meaning any disrespect, just what is an ALPA pilot?
And I would think you are tired of all the New Yorkers moving to your state too.
It's mostly the MASSholes that have invaded NH with there blue paint. They'll screw it up here than move somewhere else no doubt.
Scary isn’t it?
Isn’t Rahm a jew? I wonder how that will play out.
Well, yes, they reported on it’s passing.
It’s that snarky line of “and it’s controversial” that gets me.
Media liberals don’t find judicial activism controversial, it’s when americans fight back.
THAT! is what the media finds controversial.
That’s your liberal media.
Agreed whole heartedly!
That’s why the media and the left - and I include McCain as well as his campaign in this:
That’s why the left are out there smearing Sarah now. They are deathly affraid of her. They are deathly afraid of any true conservative.
I wonder how McCain will oppose Jindal if/when he becomes more nationally prominent.
It’s controversial because there are TWO vocally vociferous sides to the issue.
I’m not defending the media. I’d like to burn them to the ground, but I wouldn’t draw a line in the sand over your point - an accurate point but a petty one by comparison to the media’s daily slate of much larger sins.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^It’s controversial because there are TWO vocally vociferous sides to the issue.^^^^^^^^^^
There’s two vociferous sides to nearly every issue.
I can’t think of anything where more americans agreed than on the amnesty bill. What was it, around 80% of americans were opposed to that?
Media liberals never cast amnesty as controversial. In fact, it was just the opposite. It’s border security..... it’s a fence...... it’s a wall........ That’s what’s controversial. It’s all of you xenophobes and racists who are making this such a big deal.
^^^^^^^^^^^^by comparison to the media’s daily slate of much larger sins.^^^^^^^^^^^^
You’re not looking at this in context of what’s preceded.
If this stood all by itself, I’d agree. But this is more of the same.
