Ga., Ky., Ohio Vote Against Gay Marriage
Early results made clear the amendments would, as expected, win easy approval. Exit polls showed the ban winning by 3-to-1 in Georgia and 3-to-2 in Ohio, while the Kentucky amendment had 64 percent support in early returns. The Ohio measure, considered the broadest of the 11 because it barred any legal status that quot;intends to approximate marriage,quot; gathered equal support from men and women, blacks and whites.

Who cares about trillions in debt, the worst health care system in the industrialized world, and countless other tragic problems so long as the gays can't get married.
Ohio's amendment is a joke, and I am really disappointed people didn't investigate the issue more or they may have change their mind and voted differently.
People see quot;Ban Gay Marriagequot; on a ballot and it scares the hell out of them that if they don't vote yes it means gay people can get married here in Ohio, which is incorrect.
Ughh, what the ******** is wrong with people
Yeah thats America's closet predjudice shining through.Laugh at Will and Grace and say publicly you have no problem with gays as long as they don't try to get with you...but behind the poll booth..75% ! say you can't have the same rights as me ******!
This coupled with a probable Bush victory really is embarasing in the eyes of the world.

And the high numbers pave the way for a Constitutional amendment. Which, of course, will happen, since Bush will no longer have to worry about the electorate.

Or the Supreme Court.

Well, the Supreme Court won't matter if it's in the Constitution.

Actually, I think America is relatively liberable when it comes to gay rights. I may be wrong, but I actually think Massachusetts may be the only place in the world where there is gay marriage. I know a few countries (The Netherlands I know, maybe a few others) allow civil unions, but in most European countries (I know definitely France, and I'm sure Italy and Spain too) there is a lot of opposition to gay marriage and unions.
Gringotex played his cards and lost, as if this were some Red River Classic.
He told us that Bush played this card, on a national level, knowing this would not pass. It passed on the state level and brought out the vote to defeat Kerry.
Rove, can I have your love child?!?!?!
Seeing the PBS Frontline special only makes this case more hard to take. Bush was hand-picked to play the Christians and for Rove (Schultz) to play him. Bush said, 'This is easy!', and sad to say, it was.
So much for quot;hard work!quot;

Rove is an evil genius. The Ohio constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage could, probably will, win Bush re-election by helping turnout and swinging socialy conservative voters his way. |
