Booooooooooo!

But the polling never looked that promising for the bigot-utopians to me. For example, contrary to loud proselytizing at the time, Prop 8 was more the achievement of old white patriarchal pricks than rampantly homophobic Black guys who were suddenly imagined by some to throng California. And especially in the aftermath of President's Obama public declaration of support for gay marriage the polling has obliterated such hopes. I guess Repugs will have to pin their hopes on more poll taxes and billionaire ad-activists as America grows too secular multicultural for their clever divisive bigotry ploys to halt progress toward dreaded democratic socialism. Good luck with that, assholes, is all I can say to that! So, no, brave "Anonymous," I didn't take a little polite applause at a line about "traditional marriage" as particularly more threatening politically than I would have to a comparable response to the question "Puppies, cute or ugly?" The NAACP knew where Romney was coming from, and they booed him for it, and his subsequent disgusting comments about them being mad because the Great White Father wasn't going to give deadbeat Blacks "free stuff" anymore made it perfectly clear they were reading correctly between the lines and were right to boo that filthy rich robotic asshole.; 9:19 AM
