Dear Proposition 8 supporters – You lost because you lied
Posted by alvinmcewen on @ 3:15 pm


Dear supporters of Proposition 8,

Please do not take my words as gloating but rather a clear and concise analysis of why you may be feeling dejected now over the overturning of Proposition 8.

In 2008, when you won, many of you stood with your arms raised in defiance of the bitter tears you caused in the lgbt community.

What a difference two years makes indeed.

But let me explain to you why you lost today. It’s not complicated, but rather simple.

Your side lost because you lied.

Oh I know that folks on your side will whine about “activist judges who make laws rather than interpret them,” but let’s be real here.

Your entire narrative has been a lie from the beginning. ..............(more)

1. And they lied, in a targeted effort, to older CA voters.

Shame on all of them. They deserve their miserable, hateful lives.

2. They will be soon running out of old, bitter people.

The Demographics are shifting as we speak.

Good riddance.
