They should get on the ballot in 2006. Which presents a dilemma for the Democrats: do they want to offend their gay backers or side with the folks who have the votes in flyover country? Its going to be an interesting two years.

Massachusetts...amendments have already passed a first vote and require one additional vote in either of the legislative assemblies, before going to voters for final approval.

Problem in MA is that it probably not make it through the legislature as the new majority leader is pro-gay. If it does make it through the legislature, it will be approved by the voters by 66:33, the state supreme court will overrule the will of the people.

For whatever it's worth, the referendum I voted for in Georgia was not, strictly speaking, a "ban"- it was an affirmation of marriage as being a union of a man and a woman.

This may be splitting hairs, but I note the ever-increasing whine from the Left is that these referendums were "bans!" and get the sense that they feel like some inalienable right was snatched away from them, just as they were about to achieve it.

The Lord may keep His hedge about America for a while longer. His Spirit is surely at work. Now, we need our consciences pricked about abortion.

If such an amendment passes in Mass., the libs may as well give up.

James Carville admitted Sunday on "Beat the Mess", if you're looking for a party against same-sex marriage, if you're looking for a party ahainst abortion, the Democratic party is not your party. I wonder how long it will take those who claim Christianity to realize the destructive path on which their party is traveling?

I find it interesting that Oregon is on the list. I know they have assisted suicide in that state. Haven't they also legalized medical marijuana?

I'm not trying to link the issues, except to say that a state liberal enough to have medical pot and assisted suicide, but not gay marriage seems odd.

Well, well, well!

Nine More States Promise Constitutional Gay "Marriage" Ban

WASHINGTON, November 9, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Nine more US states have pledged the introduction of constitutional amendments to ban same-sex "marriage."

Legislators in the states of Alabama, Idaho, South Carolina and Washington have promised to introduce amendments in the coming weeks, while Texas and Virginia representatives have begun the process with "pre-filed" constitutional amendments.

Massachusetts, Tennessee and Wisconsin amendments have already passed a first vote and require one additional vote in either of the legislative assemblies, before going to voters for final approval.

This should help us to win more seats in Congress in 2006.

The moderate ones will not say anything about this or will mouth PC mantras and then vote against the outrage of gay marriage in the voting booth.

And so we approach the 37 states needed to ratify a federal constitutional amendment.

We're already at 37 states which have CCW, admittedly with varying state restrictions on availability and use.

[Mr. Silverback]

We're working hard on it in Illinois.

Gay marriage, canine marriage, if it isn't a man and a woman it is just perversion looking for benefits from employers.
