"Pelosi Working to Stop Massachusetts Marriage Vote"
The Boston Globe ^ | May 17, 2007 | Frank Phillips

Posted on 05/19/2007 7:49:59 AM PDT by Jose Pen

According to The Boston Globe, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is working with state Democratic leaders in Massachusetts to kill a constructional amendment there that will finally give the citizens of the state the opportunity to vote on same-sex marriage, which was imposed by the state's high court in 2003. Pelosi, a supporter of same- sex marriage, is apparently concerned about the impact a vote on the marriage amendment would have on the 2008 elections.

In the May 17 edition of The Boston Globe, reporters suggest that Pelosi has burned up the phones in recent days, warning Massachusetts legislators that their local battle over marriage may well decide the next White House occupant and the fate of Democratic control in Congress. Doing her best to peel lawmakers off their pro-marriage stance before the vote on June 14, Pelosi has allegedly won a few converts. Since Pelosi's conversations with the local House Speaker and Senate President began, as many as three votes in support of the amendment have vanished.

How typical of the left to only a few days ago get a left wing Mass.Judge to "invoke a little-noticed legal loophole, and legally validate the marriages of at least 150 same-sex couples from New York who wed in Massachusetts,yet try to deny the voters there constituional right to vote on such matters.

In addition, the newly-elected Governor of Massachusetts has been offering jobs at the state house to legislators who change their vote to pro-Mo.

Why it's properly referred to as the Democrat Party.

Not the Democratic Party.

Nancy Pelosi is a Catholic. Catholics believe Satan is alive and working all the time.

I wonder if she realizes Satan has completely taken over her in every way...

Properly referred to as the Evil Party.

More colloquially, the Loathsome Scumbag Party.

She's bored and needs something more to do since her district of elective fruitfulness is doing so well without her focus of concern.

What percentage of the population is gay? It seems like their activism is disproportionately effective for a small population.

Does she know what day of the week it is yet?

Perspective toward priorities should be her directive.

Last time we were in MA, which was a few months back, most polling we saw/heard about had the majority of the population in MA opposing the legalization of gay marriage.

In liberal MA.

Which is why the 'Rats don't want to put it to a vote.

Nancy Pelosi is a Catholic CINO.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Ms. Pelosi has Satan in her heart.

Their agenda is to change that and give it to us in our a$$es in time.

I hear that. How and why did Gay’s get so much support at High levels that allows them to get by the popular opinion?

We know what their agenda is, the question is how do they manage it? What turned our society so craven that we throw our values overboard so that degenerates can party as they please?

How does any interest group get what they want? Some are just better at it than others. Unfortunately.
