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.

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.
They, our “represetnatives” don’t care about what the voters want. They want voters SILENCED so they can do as THEY see fit.
So much for Democrats for Democracy.
The ONLY thing liberals hate more than George W Bush is our very own Constitution. It gives us yucky common people rights just like lib elites, oh gag me with a spoon Nancy.
I say we kick the whole lot of them out and start with a fresh new batch. only qualification is they cannot have held a national level office before.
Not the Democratic Party.
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.
Is this any of her business. Oh I forgot, she is queen in waiting after that hag Hillary.
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.
In liberal MA.
Which is why the 'Rats don't want to put it to a vote.
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.
