By "social issues" I didn't mean drug laws, I was referring to welfare state items. My sister, and many other strong practicing Catholics, vote Demodog on the basis of believing it is "right" to redistribute wealth.(redundant period). She is extremely pro-marriage, though, and has been distressed at torn social environment she witnesses as a school nurse. This is a taylor-made issue on which to bring her, and many other Catholics, blacks and others, to a reassessment of her Demodog ties, and could easily lead her to a recognition of the errors of her thinking that giving people something for nothing helps them.

You, friend, are he who is delusional. I will say it one more time: the most telling barometer here will be the silence of the politicians in opposition to this Amendment.
They may vote against it, but they will do so and try to quietly slink away.

Those are economic issues.

Nope. Don't misunderstand me. I don't want the gays calling their arrangements marriage. I don't think it's right. It's like calling red blue.

BUT I am very very clear on what happens when you give the Federal Government power to do anything.

Do you want the Federal Government to REGULATE marriage? Because that's what will come of this.
DNA tests?
Blood work, Citizen?
Own any banned firearms, Citizen?
Ooops.. I see you were caught in a protest rally against Hillary, no license for you, Citizen.

Be careful what you wish for.
