Er, no. Cloture failed 49-48, which it needed 60 votes for. It needed 67 votes in the Senate. It was nowhere near one vote.

Er no indeed. 49-48 (ONE vote) fell 11 short of the 60 required to send the matter for an up-or-down tally. So I stand corrected on a technicality.

The fact is, conservatives have been state by state defeating the militant homosexual leftist agenda to legalize so called "gay marriage and are gaining ground in this area - much to the apparent dismay of some here. You seem inclined to be disappointed with Conservative gains in this area.

"And guess what you whiny Left Wing Homosexual radicals? You brought it on yourselves by your own oh-so-friggin-predictiable behavior."

I'm sorry, are you addressing someone at this site?

So, you obviously feeling threatened that this somehow applies to you, I see.... It would appear so - and it's your problem, not mine. Apply it as the shoe fits indeed...


Uh....South Park is a cartoon. It's not a documentary. It's not real - it's fiction.

Really? NEWSFLASH! Thank you for clearing that up, none of us realized that... No doubt metaphors are slightly above the level you are used to.

...and the up-or-down vote would have required 67 yeas from senators, which it clearly was not anywhere close to having. Perhaps you're confusing it with the flag burning amendment which did come within one vote IIRC (66-34). So, you obviously feeling threatened that this somehow applies to you, I see....

You were the one who used the roundabout method to actually addressing someone specific by using "reply to: All", so I was honestly curious. Don't get all accusatory because I called you on it.

You're the one going around touting South Park as some sort of study in homosexuality. It makes as much sense as touting the old Wile E. Coyote cartoons as an accurate portrayal of the coyote-roadrunner relationship.
