Nancy Pelosi Joins The Fight
Pelosi Claimed that voters misunderstood prop. 8…
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8 (UPI) — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., says she was disappointed this week when Californians voted to ban gay marriage.
Pelosi said she believes some voters might have misunderstood the ballot question, which was approved 52 percent to 48 percent, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday.
Proposition 8 overturned a Supreme Court decision this year that legalized gay marriage.
“Unfortunately, I think people thought they were making a statement about what their view of same-sex marriage was,” Pelosi said. “I don’t know if it was clear that this meant that we are amending the Constitution to diminish freedom in our state.”
Hanging chads part 2?
It gets better…
The controversy is a great demonstration of how the California democrats handle defeat… and the rage is directed toward the Mormon Church. And it’s getting really ugly.
The Mormons are getting blamed – even though 70% of black voters in California also rejected gay marriage. Going after the base of the party wouldn’t help the cause. Since these bigots hate Mormons, they make a convenient target.
Why can’t some people just accept defeat and MoveOn.org?
Imagine if the Republicans acted like this after losing – we’d never hear the end of the ridicule.
