I could have copied this from dozens, if not hundreds of columnist's, bloggers, radio show hosts, and on, and on. It's a fallback on, cliché, and we're all guilt of using it at some time, I know I have. The fact is, what makes America great is that the power is in the voice of the people heard through the Ballot Box. We may not agree with the majority, but they are only the majority until the next election. And if there's one thing I've learned in four decades of covering politics in America. Nothing is a Lock, there are no absolutes ever. As for the Maine's Question 1 vote defeating and repealing the Legislatures Gay Marriage law. It was a very close election, and in a democracy as ours no legislative body State or Federal should side step the American people by shoving down the throats of the citizenry a law to legislate morality, taxes, and religion. The trouble with Gay marriage amendments that have been before the voters, and those that haven't, is that they are poorly written and not well conceived with regards to doors they may open, consequences and actions. They push, shove, and demand. It took a good number of Democrat, Liberal, Left leaning citizens of Maine to repeal Question 1, not just conservative right wing, and Republican voters. However, you know that already, good sense would tell you that. I was indifferent towards the vote on Maine's Question 1, and I have no prejudice, a term that should not be thrown about, casually. Prejudice is defined; preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. Unjust behavior formed on such a basis. Oxford University Press... I'm first, in reason, and have a great deal of experience in the Gay and lesbian communities. You can reason that, I have spent (23) years on the road as a comedian and freelance writer. You can imagine the debate at dinners with friends and family at election time. However, regardless of which view a friend or family member takes, we remember to respect learned opinions as I respect all views here. I'm Dr. Quack with the harsh cry of reason...11 04 09.

The party out of power always SWEEPS the following off-year election. New York's 23rd shows just how weak the Fox News Party really is. And I'm glad you're glad that prejudice won the day in Maine...

The only change I have been able to observe is the amount of pigment between the current president and the president elect.

PA needs to remember what happened when the steel plant shut down. How many ghost town will Obamas make. If it wasnt for company’s like Phoenix Glass that part of PA would have gone out . You dont kill jobs ,You dont raise taxes and spend more on a weak dollar. YOU CUT TAXES YOU SPEND LESS AND YOU KEEP AMERICANS WORKING. When he shuts them down not just the states the mines are in will suffer great economic collapse but the state surrounding them. WAKE UP Ohio, Pennsylvania. Wake UP Virgina . WAKE UP AMERICA. The on change he is selling is control . If you are in the coal mining bizz then vote McCain because Obama has you in his sights to shut you down.
