This Prop 8 thing is a result of the total failure of the California Republican Party to matter. Our party bosses have missed the major issues and have lost so much ground that this is where we are.
Since California’s courts made gay marriage legal, about 11,000 couples have homosexually “tied the knot”. That’s 22,000 people out of nearly 40,000,000 in the state.
Frankly, I just don’t care that much. Our party never misses an opportunity to squander it’s moral authority on something so inconsequential.
When NAMBLA is running day care centers, I will give a rat’s ass. Until then, my Libertarian bones won’t ache one bit. This is all a huge PR blunder for the CA Republican Party.
CA Republicans are outnumbered in the legislation - Republicans can’t manage to get their point across when in the majority (judging by the federal congresses past), how can a minority in a state full of liberal wackos do well?
