It may have been a useful issue in 2004, but it didn’t work in 2006, and sure as hell won’t work this year. The GOP seems to have learned absoultely nothing from 2006 and the special elections, trying the same old tricks that don’t work. I think it will be very funny if there’s a ballot initiative and it fails, like in Arizona.

Yeah, it'll be hysterical. I always laugh when my country goes collectively insane enough to confuse two sodomites with a husband and wife.

Of course, you're wrong. Arizona is the only example of someplace where a ballot initiative on this issue didn't pass. And if you research why, it's because all sorts of riders were tagged onto the initiative which were only peripherally concerned with homosexual faux-marriage.

Plus, it looks like the traditional marriage initiative will be back on the ballot in Arizona in November without the riders.

Butt-sex marriage is not popular with the voters and should absolutely be an issue so that we do not remain at the mercy of these black-robed dictators.

By funny I meant ironic-funny, not “ha ha”-funny, but that's not really relevant. We'll see what happens with ballot initiatives this year, but even if they pass, it's not going to be nearly as powerful an issue as in 2004. In Wisconsin, a gay marriage ban passed in 2006, but that didn't stop the voters from overwhelming re-electing a Democrats to virtually every statewide office. This election pony trick isn't going to work anymore.
