Calling a politician two-faced is like calling water wet. As I stated, it sucks, and I wish he could tell all the homophobes to go to hell like Newsom did, but those aren't the political realities.Andrew Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705467008503284935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137133672386054974.post-23276779304676198642009-10-22T15:02:22.986-07:002009-10-22T15:02:22.986-07:00A) I hate those freaking robo calls.
B) I don'...A) I hate those freaking robo calls.<br /><br />B) I don't think Obama's responsible for EVERYTHING bad that EVER happened...just everything this year.<br /><br />C)What you are saying is that when Obama states his position and you don't like it, he's just succumbing to political pressure and doesn't REALLY mean it. That's pretty weak of him not to mention two-faced.<br /><br />If he's for gay marriage, say so, if not say so. But don't buy this line of crap that he said it but he doesn't really mean it.<br /><br />Gah, this whole this is lame. Let the gays get married! Who freaking cares. In 10 years this will hopefully be a complete non-issue.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710413791490462220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137133672386054974.post-16336882327821495092009-10-22T14:51:41.032-07:002009-10-22T14:51:41.032-07:00Ladny, I know Obama's responsible for everythi...Ladny, I know Obama's responsible for everything bad that ever happened, ever, but he's not to blame for this one.<br /><br />I know Obama's stated stance (like all centrist Dems) is that he's pro- civil union but anti-gay marriage. He HAD to say that if he wanted to be President. I don't think he gives a crap and probably knows the time will come when he'll switch sides- when it's politically convenient. No way someone becomes president in 2008 being a proponent of gay marriage AND black. It sucks, but it's a reality I can live with.<br /><br />FURTHERMORE (and you're partially excused from knowing this since you weren't living here at the time), he campaigned openly AGAINST Prop 8, saying that a constitution shouldn't be amended to take away people's civil rights. How do I know this? I, like most other Californians, got a robo-call with his voice urging me to vote no on 8. His stance on that issue was clear to anybody who cared to know about it.Andrew Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705467008503284935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137133672386054974.post-21232713988455022232009-10-22T00:20:27.333-07:002009-10-22T00:20:27.333-07:00I hate to be the salt on the snail but Obama has a...I hate to be the salt on the snail but Obama has also said that he is against gay marriage.<br /><br />All those people who voted for Obama didn't exaaaactly betray that vote by voting Yes on Prop 8.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710413791490462220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137133672386054974.post-53783800986379883312009-10-21T22:49:38.555-07:002009-10-21T22:49:38.555-07:00Anonymous, all's fair in politics, basically. ...Anonymous, all's fair in politics, basically. Those ads were distortions but not quite outright lies. There's always some half-assed citation at the bottom. <br /><br />As for those people who blame their vote on those things, the bottom line is they're ignorant homophobes.

What makes me still upset is the fact that every person who I have talked to claims the position of forced marriage and school teachings of gay practice as their sole reasons for voting yes. Can’t the people of California sue for spreading blatant lies or claim campaign fraud I mean wtf. How can that practice of spreading blatant lies like that be legal? How can an organization sponsoring such ads be held unaccountable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137133672386054974.post-38351932804555596612009-10-20T23:03:45.671-07:002009-10-20T23:03:45.671-07:00Bra-fucking-vo
