    Well, that didn’t last long.

    Was the original polling a fluke?

    Its not a surprise now that people see gay marriage was just one step in the gays war on religion, and the "progressives" war on American values.

    The AP-GFK poll didn't place in the top polling list from 2014 (assuming it even existed).

    I just pulled up all kinds of polls, from PPP to CNN to Gallup. As of a couple of weeks ago, they all showed roughly a 20 pt advantage for gay marriage.

    Nice try.

    That's why in every state that there was a proposition on the ballot confirming that marriage was indeed between a man and a woman won. The ballot box is the most accurate poll.

    Nice try.

    Hard for you to believe
    But many people take ussc decisions seriously

    same-sex marriage, Americans by 51%-33% say local and state officials now should allow gay couples to wed in their jurisdictions even if they oppose gay marriage.

    Your extreme left-wing polls of only sampling about a thousand people doesn't mean (*)(*)(*)(*).

    Let me repeat. Every proposition that was on the ballot that affirmed that marriage is between one man and one woman won.

    Heck, even in one of the most liberal states in the union, California, proposition 8 passed. And surprisingly Blacks overwhelmingly voted for it like 70% to 80%.

    Why is that hard for you to believe or understand????

    I don't think they look stupid at all, from the standpoint that they held an differing viewpoint. Why must a defeated viewpoint in the US, be called stupid? I'm a modern day protectionist in terms of trade, and I believe we should limit it. Washington, for its stance disagrees with mine fundamentally. Am I then, stupid? Or am I merely outpolled at the moment?

    The one flaw with populism, is taking policy positions that may not in fact be correct but based on the winds of the time, which can hardly be evidenced to be correct. It is in short, the "policy of the people" whom are largely politically apathetic. Would you want to base a nation off of such a concept? The people's representation has to be balanced by a professional viewpoint which takes the larger view at mind.

    Oh look! Breitbart as the source. And this is surprising?

    - - - Updated - - -

    It would so appear. Anything that does not support the right wing wacko POV is considered left wing.

    BS! Do you not research before you post?



    http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/07/us-usa-campaign-gaymarriage-idUSBRE8A60MG20121107

    Now what were you saying again? My god, this was in 2012. You should be up to speed by now. Admit you are wrong. Because quite frankly, you are. I mean, the ballot box is the most accurate poll, right?

    Now quit lying. You've been educated. Also, SSM is legal in all 50 states now. I suggest you find a way to live with that. It's not going to change.

    I mean gosh, how terrible! Gay people are being treated fairly under the constitution. Has your whole world crumbled? Are you now not able to get married? Are you forced to marry someone of the same sex? Do you realize how petty you are being?

    BTW, if you ever try to make this claim again, I'll post this article over and over. I'm sick of your lies.

    Breitbart again? No thanks not credible. America supports the gay marriage ruling by a wide margin. You are just going to have to accept it.

    This talk of "bigotry" is ridiculous hyperbole used by lefties to silence those who disagree with them. The poll numbers were rigged before.

    Right. States can just pick and choose which laws to enforce. You know, like the Feds do.

    LOL...it reminds me of the saying, "Imitation is the highest form of flattery." One of the few times any sane human being would want to imitate Barack Hussein Obama. :roflol:

    Oh yes they were. The polling question changed. Before the option to support a civil union was included. During that time the results were fairly evenly split between gay marriage, no gay marriage and civil unions. When the lefties decided to push their agenda they did away with supporting civil unions and only had for or against gay marriage. Those who supported civil unions went mostly for being against gay marriage so the lefties decided to poll in areas where gay marriage would be accepted.

    Too bad you didn't know that little tidbit.

    I invite you to try to reverse Marriage Equality. I'm looking forward to the agonized frustration of homophobes who are forced to confront the fact that they cannot possibly pass a constitutional amendment and lack the gall to start a war.

    "Fluke" is being too kind. The polls were likely fraudulent all along.
