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

I’d LIKE this to be true, but Weiner was very pro-gay marriage. I highly doubt he wouldn’t have been re-elected easily were it not for his sexcapades.

“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.”

It is rare that a single issue will generate a major upset - the donkey in this case got caught up in a “perfect storm” of problems: 1) the Obama fail on the economy (and policy in general); 2) the administration’s (and by extension, the Democrat Party’s) hostility to the Jewish state; and 3) the homosexual marriage fiasco. You might even throw in some residual disgust at the Weiner scandal.

I have no hard evidence, but I suspect the results would’ve been different if only one of these issues was in play - but with all three / four, we end up with a Turner victory.

“Basically mostly kosher Dems, with the appearance of hard right on Israel but center left on everything else.”

It’s not that are necessarily *for* gays but they just don’t care if someone votes for it, if they are good on other issues. So they will support someone like Giuliani for president with no problems.

“I’d LIKE this to be true, but Weiner was very pro-gay marriage. I highly doubt he wouldn’t have been re-elected easily were it not for his sexcapades.”

Republicans didn’t even bother running anyone against him for many years. And those that did were ‘Mickey Mouse’ candidates that weren’t serious.

There was a very strong grassroots effort in the Jewish community but NOM gave the cause a badly needed professional organization to reach out to everybody.

I know this community. This issue was white hot.

“Weprin won among non-Orthodox Jews 69% - 29%; among Other/None/DK 76%-24%. “

Young Israel member Weprin gets the atheist vote. FAIL

[jmaroneps37]

Small sample, yes BUT notice there has been NO movement away from Democrats among secular Jews. There is NO reason for Democrats to panic over losing Jewish voters because they are NOT. Jews still have not learned their lesson.

The people who want a "truce" on social issues are almost always social liberals

...and their definition of a "truce" is when only ONE side gives up........

[fwdude]

I’m absolutely sure his “gay ‘marriage’” vote highly played into it. This horrendous vote ticked off a LOT of New Yorkers. NOM has declared war on Legislators who did. Good for them!!!

[massmike]

Attention GOP...

Lesson from Massachusetts from last year:

It is NOT a winning strategy to drive away your base by attempting to win over people that will NEVER vote for you anyway......

In one of the most liberal districts in New York?

Somehow I think it’s more complex than that.

[fwdude]

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

I really think a wrench of some kind was thrown into their election fraud machine this time, for whatever reason.

On a thread yesterday I saw a photo of Weprin "celebrating" at a Perv Pride Parade. He spat in the face of every person in his district with a moral compass. I say - HA HA and may this be indicative of future elections, all over the US!

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.

Bingo. This point needs to be hammered again and again until the "liberal on social issues" crowd gets it.

I’d LIKE this to be true, but Weiner was very pro-gay marriage. I highly doubt he wouldn’t have been re-elected easily were it not for his sexcapades.

Since Weiner's last election, NYers have been forced to focus on this issue. As we've seen in other referenda on gay "marriage", the more people think about it, the less they like it and the more willing they are to vote against it.

This election has just showed us conservatives not the half conservatives that the homosexual agenda SHOULD BE MENTIONED and it should not let any of us or candidates shut up about it. You mention to the voters that so and so candidate Dem is for homosexuals to marry and Govt can pay for those who are wanting to have their boobs chopped off then we will always win. Every state who has voted has said they want normal marriage. When this agenda has been brought up the winner is always the man/woman who stands for normal marriage. IT IS HIGH TIME TO MENTION THIS and I see the likes of CNN did not want to give the likes of Rick S much time as they know it gives him more of a spotlight and might bump his numbers up. One elderly lady She was talking and saying how her customers hate obama etc and then said in my ear very silently I don't think those homosexuals should marry either. I stopped her and told her she did not have to whisper , she has every right to shout it out loud if she likes and she will find that most agree with her especially down here. What a shame the likes of Megyn Kelly on FOX to the dopes on MSNBC, to the Boston globe to Hollywood tell us we have to stay silent and if we don't we will be called a name. well screw them

[Neoliberalnot]

sample size too small to be significant””

Really, so tell us what size of sample is required?

[cynwoody]

NOM should stifle themselves. NY-09 happened because of Obama, not gay marriage!

[little jeremiah]

You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT my friend!!! People have been so terrified of the fascist techniques of the leftists that they’ve lost their courage and sense!

(note my tagline...!!!)

[icanhasbailout]

Generally you need a sample size of at least 400 (larger for larger overall populations) to have reasonable confidence that you haven’t run across an unrepresentative sample population.
