Black people aren’t necessarily against gay marriage. They just don’t like homosexuals, especially male homosexuals. Obama’s being a homosexual hasn’t bothered them, so this shouldn’t drive voters off the leftist plantation.
WISHFUL THINKING by the left leaning SF Gate newspaper.
Hey, you’ll never believe what I found, it is a really interesting quote. It sounds A LOT like what Obama said yesterday...
He said he does not support federal action allowing gay marriages, however. “Historically the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level,” Cheney said. “It has always been a state issue and I think that is the way it ought to be handled, on a state-by-state basis.”
Obama must have read this recently
Pew Research did a nationwide Hispanic poll right before the 2010 Congressional elections.
It asked participants to rank 14 issues in order of importance.
From memory.....
Number 8 - Immigration
Number 12 - Abortion
Number 13 - Gay Marriage
In terms of voter registration, Hispanics are 65% Democrat and 22% Republican
Except for the outlier elections in 1994 and 2010, Hispanics have consitently voted 70% for Democrat Congressional candidates for at least 20 years.
Factor out Republican Cubans, and these numbers look even worse.
On single issue state amendments, like abortion or gay marriage, Hispanics may appear to be more Conservative.
But they absolutely are not going to stay home or vote Republican based strictly on gay marriage.
God's wrath is nothing to play around with:
"In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."—Jude 1:7

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Graveyard, meet Whistle.
Most “Latinos” have the same church attendances habits as do the Obamas.
First: Do you have any better ideas than gay marriage of how to antagonize Hispanics and blacks into voting against Obama, or at least staying home?
Second: There was a day when people said southern whites would never vote for the party of Lincoln. There was a day when people said Catholic blue collar union workers would never vote against the party of Kennedy. Social issues were key in convincing many people in both groups that being a good conservative Southern evangelical or a good cradle Catholic meant switching parties. I'm well aware there were other factors, but religion was key in making temporary alliances into permanent changes in demographic voting patterns.
Massive and long-term electoral change can happen based on religious beliefs, for better or for worse. I can't think of anything that Barack Obama could do which would be more likely to antagonize blacks and Hispanics than what he just did.
Let's not turn down this gift. We may not get another chance. Something simply must be done to break the stranglehold of the Democratic Party on its black and Hispanic voting bloc, because white guys are getting old and aren't having enough kids to retain a conservative majority much longer.
However Latinos are not as entheusiatic about Obama as they were in 2008. In these election he is going to lose 10% to 15% of the Latinos who voted for in 2008. In these elections he is going to lose 20% of the Whites who voted for him in 2008...In other word he is going to lose the elections.
