GO MASS! or Don't Let Prayer and Horses Fool You

Today's the day, Massachusetts, be strong, be brave and don't be fooled by the big white guy with a pick-up truck and a third-grade grasp of American History.


AND --

AND!!  let this be a warning to the Obama Admin., that if the Dems can't even pass this watered-down limp useless bill, THEY HAVE FAILED THE POPULARITY CONTEST.

and unfortunately, that's what it is.  That and a blizzard of lies.  The Dems have lost control of their message.  Lost control to TEABAGGING.  It was that easy.

I'm accepting ideas on how make Most Americans understand that they will never be Millionaires, and that the FLUFFY, SHINY logos of their favorite companies are the SEALS ON THE TOMB OF THE MIDDLE CLASS.

Anyone?






Thursday

NYS Senators Ruth Hassell-Thompson and Diane Savino speak on marriage equality

Heartbreaking and strong. And, below, searingly modern and logical.
Really start listening at 3:13, she lays the issue out so clearly.
"We in government do not determine the quality or validity of peoples relationships -- if we did we would not issue three quarters of the marriage licenses we do"

"we're giving away husbands on network TV"

"or . . . the littlest groom, where thirty desperate women competed to marry a dwarf."

"they stand up there before god and man, even in Senator Diaz's church, and swear to love honor and obey, and they don't mean a word of it."

She really hits the nail on the head. Please forward this to anyone and everyone, and let the argument speak for itself. And let the hysteria abate.

Wednesday

Liars!

UPDATE!!



I checked out the protest in Times Square . . . not bad for a last-minute rainy afternoon/evening . . . several hundred turned out to chant for NY1 and boo the Dems who voted against rights despite the unflagging financial and vocal support of many many gays. From towleroad:

Here are the eight "no" votes from Democrats on marriage equality in New York state today, along with their email addresses if you'd care to speak your mind. The percentage before their names (thanks to Towleroad commenter Tanner) represents — FYI — their 2008 general election percentages.

53% Aubertine (Upstate) - aubertin@senate.state.ny.us
53% Stachowski (Upstate) - stachows@senate.state.ny.us
58% Addabbo (Queens) - addabbo@senate.state.ny.us
81% Onorato (Queens) - onorato@senate.state.ny.us
93% Diaz (Bronx) - diaz@senate.state.ny.us
93% Kruger (Kings) - kruger@senate.state.ny.us
100% Huntley (Queens) - shuntley@senate.state.ny.us
100% Monserrate (Queens) - monserra@senate.state.ny.us

Looks like efforts need to focus on Queens, where four of the eight senators reside.
