Gay marriage shows how social issues pay for Dems

This writer is a dope. He apparently is ignoring the THIRTEEN POINT swing against Obama after his announcement. In a flash poll immediately after 13% said it would make them MORE likely to vote for Obama BUT 26% said (and you KNOW IT IS MORE)said they would make them LESS likely to vote for Obama. That 13 point swing is larger than the swing on any issue I’ve ever seen.

This IS indeed a head scratcher. Why they are pushing this at this time is beyond me. A part of me, (the one that doesn't have much faith in the voters) will be totally surprised and shocked if he is re-elected. The other part of me sees this as good news that those on the "right" side of the argument will get out and vote in droves.

Then again, everyone is talking about this foolishness and NOT the lack of jobs, the economy, etc.................

Its all about money.....Clooney’s fundraiser money, Big Gay campaign donation bundlers were also withholding money.......and finally it takes attention away from ObamaVille Economy.....money.

FRiend, congrats on the graduation of your daughter. I see that drudge has picked up Bloomberg’s insulting comments from the event.

Indeed. The average homosexual person has a higher income than the average non-homosexual person. How they can claim some kind of minority equivalence with poor blacks living in the inner city is beyond me.

I agree, it’s doubtful - this time around - that cash will be king.

Tolerance of “gayness” among the rest of the population is largely based on naivete. When the average American sees “gayness” for what it really is; diseased bodies, suicidal and violent, unreliable in the workplace, socially destructive, and predatory on the young, well, what then?
