For such "popular majority support" you sure seem gleeful about the fascism leg-up you're getting from the buffaloed conservatives [even]. Worried about a referendum's vote's results are you?
The AGs of the various conservative states are being counseled to "give up". But this is an error on behalf of the GOP. It makes them look like weaklings more than any other move. They think it will breed outrage and get people to the polls. But in a midterm election where people are tired, sick of the establishment just in general...all it's going to do is keep middle voters home.
The potential for middle voters to be even more disgusted with the conservative party than the liberal one is that they EXPECT liberal way-left loonies to stand up for "gay marriage" and the fascism it's using to force its way into the center of our culture. They DON'T EXPECT that the strong party on the right will "lay down and take it though"...
Oh, Sil. Don't you get it.
The Right Wing never cared about Abortion or Gay Marriage or Prayer in Schools.
These were all scams to get stupid people like you to vote against your own economic interests because Jesus said so.
Conservatives are throwing up the white flag on Gay Marriage because they know they've lost the argument.
