Not only is the above quote lefty double-speak, it's frickin incomprehensible! Reality: "NO' on 8 AMENDS (SUPPORTS) Prop 8 - 'YES' DEFEATS Prop 8. That kool-aid is some strong shit you drink. You totally proved my point Frazgo -

"This initiative measure expressly amends the California Constitution by
adding a section thereto; therefore, new provisions proposed to be added areprinted in italic type to indicate that they are new."

Not only is the above quote lefty double-speak, it’s frickin incomprehensible!

Reality: "NO’ on 8 AMENDS (SUPPORTS) Prop 8 – ‘YES’ DEFEATS Prop 8.

That kool-aid is some strong shit you drink.

I'm under the impression that both Milk and Moscone were murdered by Dan White not because of his gay legislation, but because of his rising star status, his success in his district, and his close, respected relationship with Mayor Moscone and other officials. Dan White was more of a hateful, bitter jerk than an out and out homophobe. VOTE NO on 8!!! And Obama's got a lot of cash, sogive your donations to EQCA.org or votenoon8.org</blockquote>

I just got an email from HRC asking for more money. Sadly I can't afford to give, but luckily people last night could. BTW, I've always been a big fan of Mayor Villaraigosa, and this is just another reason why. I’m glad to hear they raised a good amount of money. I just got an email from HRC asking for more money.

Prop 8 is designed to amend the CA state constitution to ALLOW same sex marriage. To say that a 'No' vote defeats Prop 8 is disingenuous, and a society mind fuck. Typical of the Left. Gay is OK, but, sheesh -at the very least, TALK STRAIGHT. This is so blatantly and intellectually dishonest!
