The.."Gay Marriage Yes/No?" - issue must be the biggest joke ever, i can't see this being anything else than "political trolling"

Distracting from the REAL issues America has, economy, middle-east conflict etc...by bringing in an utterly irrelevant but highly emotional topic...

So..a ban on gay marriages has now become the "most pressing" issue America has today?
Wow..just wow...

It makes most christians go koo koo
then the republicans go to Bohemian grove which is construed to be the biggest employer of gay porn stars on the planet

I agree. What a non-issue.

Who the hell gets married these days anyway?

And how many are actually waiting to get married? I bet its a spec of the population. A spec of the gay community.

worse than trolls are corporate media whores. i will wager they dont even get tested for mental STDs .

It's all in knowing which buttons to push. The politicians know that gay marriage is a huge issue in their mostly conservative/christian voterbase.

I wonder what important event occurred the same day Obama voiced his opinion. It probably has something to do with banks or the financial system. I'm gonna go and find out what it was, I'd bet money on it.

Indeed those politicians should be banned for political trolling

And that is hardly the only "Non-issue" being discussed in these dire times, how about the abortion issue? Most of the people saying they are "Pro-Life"(at the cost of Pro-Choice) are the same people that wants these endless wars that are killing more people every year than the abortions do! What a joke.

And there are numerous other similar issues aimed at distracting the masses with nonsense, while they can safely dictate the "real big issues" behind the scenes.

Agreed.

It's quite astonishing how simple the masses can be distracted, especially in view of the "issue".
JPM just #ed up horribly with probably another bailout imminent... everyone talks about gay marriage lol.

Yea it's dumb. Sooner or later they are bound to run out of ridiculous crap to throw in our faces, already it's getting pretty obvious that they are running out of ideas.

It happens every election year. It is their way of getting people fired up and dividing up the gay vote and the religious vote. It's a cheap way to get support from people who might otherwise disagree with them because this one issue is so important to people that they are willing to ignore everything else about a politician except their stance on this issue. For instance, say a politician is for abortion, which automatically loses him the christian vote. If he says he is against gay marriage, suddenly a large number of those same christians are on his side because gay marriage seems to be a more pressing issue.

It's a cheap tactic, but it always works. I remember during the Obama election, the gay community was rabidly for him because he promised to support gay rights or something like that. (He's done almost nothing about this by the way.) Now it's happening all over again. The sad thing is, it may just work again.

I think this is the reason the government does so little to help gay rights. It's a convienent campaigning tool and they want to keep the issue alive as long as they can.

I don't really think it is a non issue -- it certainly isn't a non issue to a segment of the population that is shut out by government decree.

I think it is representative of the way both parties look at their government. Most of the reason I am a democrat is that I was a full fledged participant of the changes in the sixties - I know that it is important and change is hard and painful.

The irony of this is that the right which is definitely and stridently against this; is exactly opposite of the small government, individual responsibility, strong family values. Instead it represents them as anti first amendment (separation so church and state), anti science, as they represent homosexuality as a choice or psychological aberration, intrusive government. It also represents a total disconnect between a basic tenant of the Constitution, that being that the freedoms and rights of the minority are not subject to popular vote; is there anything that is more representative of that than the 30 some states that have actively banned gay marriage Basically the essence of hypocrisy.

I don't see it as a troll I see it as representative of the right wings core lack of rational thinking.

The huge majority of those OBSESSED with the gay marriage issue are our country's bigoted Christians. Those folks just cannot take a break from the HATE to get concerned with REAL ISSUES in this country.

They are obsessed with the topic and the idiot republicans use it to their advantage to TROLL them in order to get their votes and keep them from seeing how much the republicans have ZERO of their best interests in mind.

They CON them in this manner to get their votes while keeping them loyal and BLINDED from the fact that republicans only true-love in this country is the WEALTHY. Therefore republicans rely on the religion-card to get votes from the non-wealthy masses.

So they troll the Christians with the Christian-card making them think that republicans are of the "christian" interest , but NOTHING can be farther than the truth on that one. Republicans are the COMPLETE TOTAL OPPOSITE of their Jesus character. Then again, so is the average CHRISTIAN also!!

Republicans rely on non-thinking, brain-dead folks. And who better than our Christians for them to seek votes from in that manner.

Delusional folks. And Republicans CAPITALIZE off of that.

The huge majority of those OBSESSED with the Christians are our country's bigoted Liberals. Those folks just cannot take a break from the HATE to get concerned with REAL ISSUES in this country.

They CON them in this manner to get their votes while keeping them loyal and BLINDED from the fact that democrats only true-love in this country is what keeps them in power. Therefore democrats rely on the demagoguery to get votes from the clueless masses.

So they troll everyone with demagoguery-card making them think that democrats are of the saviors of the republic , but NOTHING can be farther than the truth on that one. democrats are the COMPLETE TOTAL OPPOSITE of their self proclaimed liberalism. Then again, democrats are "better" than republicans also!!

Democrats rely on non-thinking, brain-dead folks. And who better than liberals for them to seek votes from in that manner.

fixed for truth
