NOM RELEASES "FLASH" SURVEY IN NY-9 - WEPRIN VOTE FOR GAY MARRIAGE COST HIM SEAT IN CONGRESS

NOM Blog ^ | September 14, 2011 | National Organization for Marriage

[Antoninus]

Attention GOP -- Even Democrats don't want gay "marriage." It's a wedge issue that, if used correctly, can shake loose a lot of Democrat seats. Please stop following the elites and the media on this subject. Homosexual marriage is not popular and never will be!

[Antoninus]

The National Organization for Marriage deserves major kudos for what went down last night. They are an effective conservative organization that deserves our support.

sample size too small to be significant

"Even Democrats don't want gay "marriage.""

No, it means their constituents need more education

[FreeReign]

Turner is pro traditional marriage and pro life and he won in deep blue NYC.

Yet we have folks on this board who think that we should take a pass or make a truce on social issues.

This is exibit "A" why that strategy sucks.

So a self-serving survey by the National Organization for Marriage lets Obama and Schumer off the hook. What a nice gift for the press corps.

[DManA]

Even worse, he tried to justify his vote in favor of gay marriage on the grounds that it was consistent with the teachings of his religion. Which is obviously nuts and infuriated his coreligionists.

LOL. You can look at it that way if you want. The fact of the matter is that NOM did a lot of heavy lifting in terms of direct mail in that race. Folks may be down on Obama, but the gay "marriage" thing is fresh in their minds in NY.

The people who want a "truce" on social issues are almost always social liberals. And if you think you can trust a social liberal to be a fiscal conservative, you're nuts.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Sounds like a real odd ball. Modern Orthodoxy is one of the last places you’d expect to hear something like this. (The more liberal arms of the American synagogue have already plunged themselves into this sewer.)

[Jonty30]

Or trust that they really want a truce.

They’ll take a “truce” to consolidate their gains and, when things have settled down, they’ll commence tearing apart the social fabric.

As someone here said in a prior post “ erections have consequences

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Democrats take note: Support Gay Marriage and end your political career. Better have another job in your back pocket if you back these un-popular acts.

[Waryone]

I hope those gay marriage supporting traitor RINOs in the NY senate pay very close attention. If they were hoping for democratic cover next election, they should remember, dems can’t even protect themselves. How are they going to provide cover for you backstabbers?

Hopefully November 2012 will get rid of democrats and any reach across the aisle RINOs up for re-election. Maybe the RINOs, elites, beltway boys will take notice and quit trying to push their favorite RINO’s on us.

[ReformationFan]

Truth. To be a social liberal is to be a fiscal liberal in the long run. After all, the taxpayers end up being the ones forced to pay for the consequences and results of social liberalism in society.

[rmlew]

It is an opportunity. White Southerners didn’t become Republican overnight.

[Sun]

I’m happy to know that more NYers have better morals than I originally thought.

[paudio]

Assuming that they did their best to maintain randomness of the sample, IMO, n= 250 should be fine. The number of people voted on Tuesday was about 60,000. So, a bit below 0.5%. Most sample size for presidential poll usually are much lower than that (in terms of percentage).

[Obadiah]

No, it means they don’t want homosexual marriage. The term “education” used in this instance is a euphemism for the ongoing effort by some to exert social pressure and force society into submission on this.
