Blacks voted against the gays. Irony is priceless.
Prop 8 will be overturned. And if it isn’t, we’ll see a Hollywood onslaught that shames the population into doing their bidding.
What a sick nation we have.

so what’s their excuse for the other 2 times gay marriage type proposals were defeated. there was no obama on the ballot then.
Here's the story:
Prop. 8 asks voters to affirm that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California" - a concept that voters overwhelmingly backed when they approved Proposition 22 in 2000.
Voters still favor the traditional definition of marriage, 49 to 47 percent, according to the most recent Public Policy Institute of California poll.
However, in the wake of the state Supreme Court decision in May legalizing same-sex marriage, Brown worded Prop. 8's ballot description to specify that it "eliminates the right of same-sex couples to marry."
The proponents' original title for Prop. 8 was "Limit on Marriage." What voters see on their ballot pamphlet, thanks to Brown, is, "Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry."
Prop. 8 supporters accused Brown of playing politics and went to court.
They lost. The new language went on the ballot, and pollsters said support for the ban dropped by eight points - with the most recent PPIC survey showing 52 percent of likely voters now opposing the ban.
"It all depends on how you ask the question," said Sacramento pollster Jim Moore of J. Moore Methods.
"When you ask people what they believe, you get one answer," he said. "But when you ask someone to take away something from somebody else, it seems unfair."
Field Institute pollster Mark DiCamillo agreed, noting that when his outfit tested the two wordings in September, support for Prop. 8 was three points lower on Brown's version than the original.
As the state's top law enforcer, Brown has taken no official position on Prop. 8.

Whats funny is that according to Rush the week before the election, The Zero was still running ads in CA in attempt to pad his national numbers and lift congressional candidates. If he had ignored CA it might have failed.
Did anyone else notice the disconnect between the public’s stance on issues and whom they ended up voting for in this election?
This is a great example—most blacks (in CA, at least) are against gay marriage, but they voted for Obama, who is in favor of it.
On the whole, most Americans are against illegal immigration and for domestic drilling, but their Presidential choice is at odds with them on both issues.
I suspect the list could go on . . .
“Ironically, however, a mathematical analysis of voting and exit poll data indicates very strongly that it was exactly that pro-Obama surge that spelled victory for Proposition 8.”
Are you listening Ellen Degeneres?
The militant homosexual lobby has so artfully hijacked the rhetoric of genuine civil rights. That rhetoric has been cynically misapplied to the homosexual agenda, which includes mandated moral relativism, social androgyny and not just full acceptance, but celebration of a pleasure-based, sexually deviant lifestyle.
If you can maintain control of undeveloped and impressionable youth and spoon-feed them misinformation, lies and half-truths about dangerous, disordered and extremely risky behaviors, then you can control the future and ensure that those behaviors are not only fully accepted, but celebrated
Freedom of speech must never be suppressed, except for criticism directed at minorities, non-Christian religions, homosexuals, communists, illegal aliens, and other constituencies of the Democrat party.
We still suffer from the same 1960’s juvenile petulance when the powers that be did not immediately fall in line as protesters demanded.
Homosexual activists resorted to using the heavy-handed and rather lowbrow tactic of trying to hijack and redefine an English word, “marriage”, simply because they feel a sociopathic need to “stick it” to normal, traditional Americans.
The sodomites and lesbians were not satisfied to mind their own business and graciously accept the “civil union” as their gift from liberal state legislatures. No. They needed an ongoing “culture war” to constantly feed their childish martyrdom complex and the “civil union” language didn’t cause the uproar and the outrage they had hoped for. They had to find a new way to really get under the skin of the “breeders”.
Ahh.... let’s demand “marriage”. That’ll frost ‘em!
Personally, I never gave a rat’s behind what the sodomites did to each other in the privacy of their own hot tubs, but now I want them to lose on every issue that is of importance to them because it was they, not me, who declared war. To hell with them all.
When Proposition 8’s passage first became apparent, it was widely assumed that hundreds of thousands of first-time or occasional voters had turned out to vote for Obama, then left the rest of their ballots blank, thus allowing more conservative voters to dominate ballot measures.
Well, that’s just too flippin’ bad isn’t it!!!
Stoopid is as stoopid does...
