More Prop 8 Stuff
More Prop 8 stuff. Olbermann really knows how to say what I believe.

CJOnline / The Topeka Capital-Journal - Planning under way for Obama holiday
These things write themselves. Why the hell would anyone think of promoting such a thing like this before someone has even done anything?
Didn’t I say I was going to stop talking about politics recently? Well good luck in that happening, I think I’m going to work on pointing out the idiots on the Obama side that don’t understand how the world works. I’m all for change and things improving but it’s not something that happens overnight, and government should only be involved so much.
Here is a quote of a comment I made on a OC MetBlogs website.
Don’t get me wrong I voted for Obama, I just don’t think the roads will be repaved with gold and our faucets flow with chocolate milk. Someone is going to pay for all these wonderful things that people think they are going to be getting now that the Dems are in charge, and once people realize they actually have to work for a living and that the government is taking nearly 50% of what they make to help everyone but them, their eyes will open up to how the world really works… I’m just saying
Yeah We Did It, but…
Yeah we did it, we voted for Obama, but WTF is up with all the democrat love this week on teh intarwebs. Now that Obama has been elected I hear that the streets are to be paved with gold, the faucets will pour out chocolate milk, and the federal government is going to pay our mortgages for us!
Too bad I didn’t fuck up and buy a home that I couldn’t afford a couple years ago so someone could bail me out…
2008 Presidential Election Eve
We went to Santa Monica 3rd Street yesterday and there were lots of No on Prop 8 supporters. Kelly, my mom, and I got stickers are wore them all day. We saw lots of supporters throughout LA waving signs in support of No on 8, I haven’t seen this much action to election day ever. I wonder if the turn out will be must higher then in previous presidential election years. I read that the Church of Latter Day Saints spent over $20,000,000 in support of Yes on 8… Maybe they should spend that money on helping people instead of supporting discrimination. Oh well. Also heard the Catholic Church was the #2 supporter of Yes on 8, little do they understand that their own people oppose Prop 8 at a 2-1 ratio.
Then there is Prop 4, the one that tries to paint Planned Parenthood as some organization that unlawfully doesn’t report possible rape, incest, and abuse to the authorities. Prop 4 is the initiative that would prohibit abortion for unemancipated minors until 48 hours after physician notifies minor’s parent, legal guardian or, if parental abuse has been reported, an alternative adult family member. The commercials in support of it are trying to show that bad bad men constantly rape girls and drive them to the doctors to get abortions, and this will continue without it passing. Guess who is supporting this Prop? Pretty much the same organizations that support Prop 8.
Lastly we have Prop 2, whose supporters advertise with clips from farms that were already illegally treating animals badly. Prop 2 is in support of allowing farm animals for consumption time outside of cages and freedom to move around. I all for the better treatment of animals, regardless if it’s a pet or an animal for consumption, but the commercials themselves are sensationalistic because they are showing one farm that was fined for their treatment of animals (they were doing something illegal, this Prop wouldn’t have changed their actions).
Anyway, those are the big ones in CA. Not much else really going on, there is some measure J in Orange County regarding taxes (not much info on it), and I have some council members to choose and a school board member for Santa Ana.
Election coverage should be fun tomorrow.
California Proposition 8 (2008) - Ballotpedia
I love that the smarter people get (education wise) the more willing they are to vote no on Prop 8. I’m also pretty surprised on the numbers breakdown comparison of Protestants to Catholics.
