The problem with the "gay marriage" vote is that 66 percent of the people polled believe in "civil unions" for gays, a state that I am sure the Evangelicals don't or won't accept either.
Thus we have the time honored tradition on FR of the religious right once again demanding that we "snatch" defeat from the jaws of victory by serving them first, or they will take their votes elsewhere.
Yeah, but where will they take their votes? I mean really, what do they gain? By allowing their mortal enemies to get into power by not voting, do they really think that their agenda will be advanced? I hate to be redundant, but lasting change does not come through threats, and alienating those who are not as passionate as you. Take a more positive approach and try to change hearts and minds first and the change will come over time. It took decades for the civil rights movement to effect real change. The threats and scare tactics proved to be more of a hinderance then anything else.
