I’ll be voting later. It’s going to be NO on 8 for Herb and Harry – Herb used to be my ‘cubie’; they got married in July.

With that “logic” you must be smart!

A logic lesson for you: “the less they like it, the more accurate it must be.”

So, if I say Jesus is a myth, there is no God .. if you don’t like that, it MUST be true?

Right?

Last night, something strange happened — I got a robo-call from a right-wing place. This election season, I have gotten MANY friendly stranger calls, but all from Democrats or non-partisan proposition people. (Literally, about 100, over 3 weeks.) But last night was different — I got a robo-call from the Yes on 8 freaks. And it was a very strange call.

A woman’s voice said, “Here is Barack Obama.” Then Obama’s voice was saying you should be against gay marriage — for about 6 seconds. Then, there was static. Literally, it was like that PeeWee Herman movie where he acted like the line was static, so he couldn’t hear the unwanted caller. Then, Barack’s voice was back, saying “Thank you for doing this” or something like that.

It was so obvious (to me) that it was a fake. I was pretty pissed, and slammed down the phone. I called my daughter and told her about it. She said she had only received friendly calls. Then — she called back, screaming that she has received the same weird robo-call I had. Then, I got the sound that another call was coming in, I hung up with my daughter, and they were back. Same anti-8 call. Then, my daughter called me and said they had just called her, too. I looked at their Caller ID and, sure enough, it was 1-234-567-8900. This shouldn’t be allowed. I hear it is NOT allowed, but that nothing is ever investigated.

A theocrasy would be a terrible society to live in. Especially here, when out country was founded on the belif of separation of church and state. It is wrong for someone to come in, especially those who are supposed to be “spreading the love of God”, and tell people how or how not to live there lives.

Teddy,

Thanks for all your work getting the word out.

I was robo-called just five minutes ago on MY CELL PHONE (which is not listed anywhere). Yes on 8 was using Barack Obama’s words, in his voice talking about his definition of marriage as one man and one woman. Using Obama for their campaign and somehow finding cell phone numbers??? What gives?

It’s really disgusting.

Vote NO ON 8 !!!

If California didn’t have the ridiculous initiative system, then Prop 8 would have never happened. People outside of California exploited the system and caused this mess. The only Prop I want to see on a ballot in California is the one that obliterates the intiatives.
I’m over it. Big time.

Not to worry, Little Georgie is so sick of playing President he’s ready to go home last month. However, you should be afraid of a Cheney coup. The Big Dick doesn’t seem ready to turn the reigns of power over to anybody, and he has a disgusting amount of dirty tricks up his sleeve.

Don’t worry about Little Georgie — Fear The Big Dick!

As my husband told me a couple of days ago, he feels a bit uncomfortable about the topic of homosexuality, but strongly feels that government has no right to tell people what to do in their private lives if they aren’t hurting others.

I know a bunch of Mormons because of my genealogy hobby. They would be very concerned about this ad, because it would make the effort of “elders” (their term for the young missionaries you see portrayed in the ad) much harder. Although I like the folks I see while doing family history research and appreciate their commitment to their faith, I don’t think their church should be leading this charge. I get angry knowing that if one member of a gay couple becomes incapacitated, the other partner could and has been forced out of the picture totally. This is just wrong in my view.
