The Judiciary Committee voted 5-to-4 on party lines against putting an amendment to ban gay marriage before the voters in number.

4. You know what's going to happen don't you.....

The WH and cabal will punish Minnesota, Kentucky and any other states with little gimmicky, insiduous costs (thefts). CA was punished with the energy theft because of San Francisco gay support and liberalism. Now, don't I sound like Falwell or Robertson or does this theory ring true? They don't like the Gore states for sure.

5. What more can they do

They've already foisted Coleman and Palenty upon us.

[question everything]

6. Yes, and they really, really want to win MN in November n/t

8. The Dem controlled MN Senate wasn't going to allow that bill out

A gay-marriage ban amendment on the ballot would be the chief get-out-the-vote tool of the GOP in November.
