Chin up! The tide is on the side of the tolerant and rational. 🙂

Is this going to be a public vote or a rigged vote (in the state legislature)? It should be public.

that’s right, our popularly-elected representatives are actually going out of their way to do the opposite of what their constituents want, because that’s what wins votes. it’s a liberal conspiracy!!!!!

That is untrue. Conservatives claim polls mean something when they are in the conservative’s interest, and that they don’t mean anything when they are not in the conservative’s interest. Liberals, on the other hand, think polls mean whatever they mean, which depends on the methodology and other factors.

In other words, conservatives “believe” whatever they find politically convenient. Seriously. They do. Liberals try to understand tings.

You are probably referring to the fact that liberals often support policies that run counter to the public opinion. This is very true. Liberals do that all the time. So do Conservatives, but Liberals probably do it more often and more prominently, and more often this effects eventually turns into “legislation from the bench” when it is a liberal issue (like ending slavery and racial discrimination) and tea-party like activitiy (like the conservative position to not improve heatlh car in America).
