Ah, she’s just a weiner.

No wonder she’s trying to rationalize.

Nothing like a good rationalization.

“A lot of it comes down to timing”

No, a lot comes down to fake polling.

BS...a lot of the acceptance percentages come down to rigged data.

Why do I have the feeling that Rachel has an I’m-a-boy hairdo? No amount of trumpeting from the rooftops will stem the inevitable. This is a bubble that is about to burst like a hurricane all over the Left’s marvelously constructed alternate reality.

lie in the first sentence of the “story”. Homosexual “marriage” is NOT accepted across the country. It might be accepted in NY and California, but real Americans don’t accept it

NY and California are full of insane people and the rest of the country isn’t about to be dictated to by them

It’s because we have a private ballot. We are truly free to vote our conscience.

Gee...why do ordinary citizens not like gay marriage?

Do you suppose it could be...because it’s an ABOMINATION?
Do you suppose it could be...because WE are GROSSED OUT beyond measure at the very THOUGHT of it it?
Do you suppose it could be...that it GOES AGAINST THE VERY DESIGN of a human?
Do you suppose it could be...that GOD HIMSELF has declared it a SIN?

Naaah. It’s because we’re all a bunch of un-enlightened, knuckle-dragging, religious bigots. Yeah, that’s the ticket. /sarc

Why does gay homosexual marriage keep losing at the ballot box? (WaPo writers asks and tries to explain)

Because it's unnatural . . . that's why. It's kinda' like trying to convince us that Mooch-elle's not fat.

It lost BIG in NC. And it lost in traditional Democrat areas where there are large % of minorities.

A LOT of it comes down to gays going from wanting to have privacy in their bedrooms, to wanting 'tolerance' of their lifestyle in public to now demanding legal endorsement of it.

Notice the reference to the “success” they have when the issue is decided against the will of the people by an “enlightened” judiciary...

it comes down to the proponents appealing to a person's feelings.

If the facts were emphasized there would be little support for gay marriage.

What are he facts? There are a multitude of them.

Start with history - from time immemorium all civilizations and religions have outlawed the practice.

Look at the natural world - male/female couplings are the norm, with very few exceptions.

Look at science - scientists for many years have tried to prove homosexuality is part of DNA, and have failed.

Look at the polls - advocates say 10% of the population is homosexual but the scientifically valid surveys reveal only 2% are, slightly less for women, slightly more for men.

And lastly look at Scripture where there are several passages stating sodomy is sinful and some say an abomination.

there is more

The highly tendentious language contained in the article--gay marriage is described as "marriage equality," which certainly sounds like a good thing--is very revealing, in my opinion.

The author, obviously, embraces the Hegelian doctrine of thesis/antithesis/synthesis: The "conversation" must be rather advanced--"further along" than elsewhere--in order for it to have a chance of having evolved to a point at which it has become morally acceptable, according to leftist doctrine...

Just thinking about what these “gays” do to and with each other is disgusting. Look up the pictures of the San Francisco gay days to see what they now do in public.

Hmm...

I’m gonna go out on a limb here... because the majority of American voters disagree with it?

Gay marriage is increasingly accepted across the country. More Americans support gay marriage (47 percent) than oppose it (43 percent)...

Maybe, just maybe - when liberal poll takers call - hired by newspapers - with 'objective questions' formed by writers ( who are 90+% liberal) - maybe, just maybe the person being polled gives the answer desired.

Years ago to test this theory a group of women were given serving trays with two kinds of juice (small cups) and told to only say the names of the juice to people ('apple' - 'orange' etc.) - and not to say anything else. Turns out they gave away more of the juice they personally preferred even without giving any obvious hints at preference. (the servers were not told in advance what the experiment was about)

In the privacy of the voting booth, socially acceptable lies fall by the wayside. The need to be "PC" in order to be acceptable goes away... and people vote their truth. Democrats know this - it's why they DON'T want secret ballots for Unions. Journalists know the truth too... but it conflicts with 'the story' so they lie in their own ways.

When people talk to a pollster, they are afraid of being called a bigot if they say they oppose gay marriage, so they tell the pollster they are in favor of it.

When they get in the voting both, they vote they how they really think.

While admitting that 38 states — a supermajority — have passed restrictions on homo marriage, the writer manufactures some mythical “nationwide movement toward legalization”. How can repeated rejections of homo marriage be reconciled with increasing acceptance?

Because one is a fact, and one is fiction. And the only polls that matter are the ones taken at the ballot box.
