RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina voters have approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage solely as a union between a man and a woman, making it the 30th state to adopt such a ban.

With 35 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday, unofficial returns showed the amendment passing with about 58 percent of the vote to 42 percent against.

Poor liberals never see it coming since they always swallow the MSM propaganda without question.

Free America52 says the current numbers are 61-39. Decisive numbers. Great news, the leftist creeps in Asheville didn't tip the numbers!

In the last day or so, Gallup had a poll that allegedly showed support for gay marriage was at 50%. Yep. 50/50 for the first time ever...

How do you reconcile that with the fact that referendums have been defeated in 30 states.... 30-0- a perfect score?

Propaganda much, MSM?

[newzjunkey]

Eight more states and that would be enough for a federal marriage amendment.

“NC approves amendment on gay marriage”

Never a more misleading headline.

[RightFighter]

Thank you... it was our pleasure here in N.C. to vote against it.

Ummm....

[hocndoc]

Hallelujah!

[ScottinVA]

The current number are actually 61-39. Geez, I'd bet the 39 are democrats.

Actually some of the strongest support for the amendment came from the black counties.

[Pharmboy]

My thought exactly. My nomination for worst, most misleading headline of the year.

[ReformationFan]

Exactly. It’s like saying they approved an amendment on “square circles”.

[csmusaret]

Which counties are black?

What’s your point? That article does not refute anything I said.

What is in that link that disputes what I sid?

[Little Ray]

Don’t waste your time hoping.
This will be overturned by a court in short order.
And Obama is going to do his best to steal the election. Even if the handout crowd says home, ACORN will vote ‘em, where they can get away with it.

[ScottinVA]

Not disputing... just found it interesting re the strong support for the amendment from those counties.

[csmusaret]

Sorry, I had you confused with someone else. Thanks for the information.

They poll Democrats heavily and only in NYC and San Fagcisco.

Actually Rush just spent 2 segments talking about this

Folks don't want to be considered homophobic, so they lie to the posters.. Once in the booth, they do the right thing
