Default A Few Important Votes Going On Today

Aside from a few presidential primaries, there are a few other important votes going on today that seem to be blowing under the radar a bit.

First is in NC where there is vote to amend the state constitution to define marriage solely between a man and woman. NC is one of the key swing states that if this legislation is shot down, could give a strong example how it with go in the presidential polls.

Also in Wisconsin the vote against the fake democrats run by the Koch's/GOP is going on again, though all are expected to loose easily.

Lastly and likely the most important is the IN senator vote where teabagger Mourdock stands a strong possibility of winning over long time senator Lugar.

Doesn't look like it will be shot down. The amendment has pretty good support @ 55% approval. Will you change your tune about how "it will go in the presidential polls" if it is passed?

Also in Wisconsin the vote against the fake democrats run by the Koch's/GOP is going on again, though all are expected to loose easily.

Funny, the candidate the UNIONS are supporting, Falk will probably lose...because the Left/unions/dems CAN'T run on the CB bargaining issue...because the Walker reforms are WORKING.

Lugar will lose and it's about time. 36 years in the Senate is long enough.

Your disappointment, is my glee.

You do understand amending the constitution to force who and whom can and can not marry is strongly anti-freedom, and Paul supports going as far as taking marriage out of government completely and put it into the hands solely of the church, right? That doesn't sound like something a pro-freedom Paul supporter would support, quite the opposite.

Do you support crapping all over the constitution, and electoral process by running fake candidates in an attempt to throw the election? That doesn't sound like something a pro-freedom, pro-constitution Paul supporter would support.

Though keep cheerleading those teabaggers. If Mourdock wins, it's going to be a walk for the democrats, winning a key senate seat and taking it back from an over 30 year GOP stronghold

LOL!
Say that 3 times fast, and click your heels. Redistricting has consequences. Remember 2010? Hahahahaha!


You can't see past the nose you look down, can you?

I see you can't address the facts of me putting you in your place again that you are a faux Paul supporter, but that's not surprising and typical of the teabaggers.

That's fine and dandy to support voter fraud, anti-freedom legislation and using the constitution as toilet paper, but there are many more of us that still honor freedom and the constitution

Your glee is government interfering in peoples' lives?

Just about what I expect from the "less government except when it suits our agenda" hypocritical Fright Wing.

I don't know why people feel the need for a Constitutional Amendement, after all, you righties have such stalwarts as Newt Gingrich, Ted Haggard, Mark Sanford, et al already defending the sanctity of marriage as only buffoons can.

You obviously don't get it. Government has no place in marriage, period. Man to woman, man to man, or woman to woman.
You're going the reverse direction, to get marriage back with religion, where it originated.
