Breaking: Obama supports gay marriage

You mean she's not a bullshitter of light?

 

I doubt it. Just not someone who's part of the uber-hip SportsJournalists.com generation. Someone who probably likes Michael Bolton more than Jay-Z (there are way more of us in that camp than you think, BTW).

Lost amid all the background noise is that about 98.8% of the people on here favor same-sex marriage.

But only 14 percent of actual states do.

A disconnect, to be sure.

 

Now there's an interesting way of framing a question that goes about 50-50, maybe even more in favor, in the population.

And Mark is pretty bad.

 

In 20 years, this will not be an issue. Even the people trying to get elected pushing it understand that.

 

What type of idiotic point are you trying to make here?

 

Is that like Rule 48 on head shots?

 

Completely agree.

I just wonder if anyone will push for federal legistation on this.

 

As I said, a disconnect.

Maybe people say one thing to a pollster and then vote their real feelings behind the curtain. I don't know. Just thought it was interesting, given that the tone of this discussion would make you think 49 states had voted in favor, with Utah the usual holdout.

Oh, nothing any more idiotic than trying to psychoanalyze someone based on a handful of message board posts.

 

There's no psychoanalysis involved.

He's openly a bigot and has said so on numerous occasions.

 

So you never read his stance on race relations and segragation I take it.

He is an open bigot and homophobe, you are ok with that?

 

I don't think it's within Congress's enumerated powers. Not directly. It would have to be using federal legislation - like federal funds - to pressure states to pass legislation.

 

I don't think any polls in the individual states where this has come up have differed greatly from the election results, so I don't think it's voter dishonesty. It's more a matter of choosing the market -- there really haven't been a ton of states that have tackled the issue yet, and the ones where it has been tackled are generally more conservative. (California being the exception.) So the states where it's illegal, most of them are just working off existing old law.

Also, as voting percentages skew older, "how voters feel" and "how citizens feel" are going to be something different.
