Hey, Diana. How are the winds blowing concerning the amendment in WI lately? Do you have any different feelings than a few months ago (closer, razor thin margin, doubtful?) Homogroups calling Wisconsin a possible victory, but I'm sure that's spin.

"Homogroups calling Wisconsin a possible victory, but I'm sure that's spin."

The more they yap, the more I'm convinced that they're in their death throes. The pro-amendment crowd has been VERY civil about the whole thing, and continually states time and again that they want to protect the sanctity of marriage, not deny gays any rights.

However, there was a BIG dust-up today. The "homophobic" name calling started today by the head guy that is pro-gay and it will continue until Tuesday. (He's 'Pulling a Kerry,' claiming that his comments were just misunderstood. Yeah, right...)

Since anyone that wants to vote to protect traditional marriage has been painted into a corner and called every un-PC name in the book, I'm sure the phone polls are totally skewed. We Wisconsinites keep our card hands close to our vests and if someone called me on the phone to ask me how I'd vote, I'd tell them what they wanted to hear and then vote my faith and conscience.

I really hate like h#ll to mess with our State Constitution. I'm a tad Libertarian (without all the pot smoking and drunk driving arrests, LOL!) If the demanding, shrill, girly-man freaks hadn't of backed ANY of our States into a corner, this wouldn't be happening. I cannot belive New Jersey caved! But I don't blame the citizens; I blame Judges With An Agenda.

I believe that if you want to get "married" do it in your Church in the eyes and love of God. If you want to form a "civil union" of some sort, go see a lawyer. I see a clear difference where others sometimes don't. I'm not too crazy that the state demands I pay them a stipend to "recognize" my marriage in the form of a license, to tell you the truth.

And then that tax "benefit" of being married? Well, I can't tell you how much I've gained from THAT through the years, being married to a man who has an innate FEAR of money; if he has some, he needs to rid himself of it pronto, LOL!

Lots to weight and think about between now and Tuesday. I may surprise myself on this one, actually. *SHRUG*
