Have a look at the internals of the CBS and ABC polls - vastly oversampled Dems. Note the Quin poll is very different. A poll released by Survey USA also shows opposition to gay marriage remains very strong.

I don't see how two people getting married, be they same sex or different sex impact my marriage of thirty five years. Love is what matters not gender.

The polls are phony. Ever time gay marraige is put to a vote, it loses.

America has a history of accepting the minority. It's nice to see the American people coming around on this issue.

a civil union support is night and day from supporting gay marriage, I lived in California all my life and ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE gay marriage. I just doesn't jive with reality, what comes next I want to marry 3 wives or my dog??? and what's with the ABC poll, how liberal can you get. I have moved to Alabama and suprisingly most people around here feel just like they do in California, quit trying to fake these results. Two dudes want to spend there lives together, share property, be together when one is dyeing, that is alright I have no problem with that, but marriage is Ordained for ME from scripture, and the constitution gives no basis for a homosexual marriage, you have to start respecting our view too.
You may be ahead right now with "that man Obama" in office, I love to call him that because it makes you guys scream while you read, but I am screaming at the rape of my country because of that man. So read your onesided lib polls and believe what you want. No majority supports gay marriage.

If you are so inclined, tune in to Hardball Chris. He has what I call a Smackdown. Rational Democrats versus Pat Buchanan.

Reason against emotion! It's fun to see Buchanan squirm, and try to wiggle out/rationalize.

BTW: Dr. Rice, whatcha' gonna do when they come for you?

The fact is that to be pro-gay marriage...is to be pro-marriage. Americans are beginning to understand this. The media has been reluctant to educate the anti-gay population of the falacies behind their arguements-- especially the statement that gay marriage is "against the Bible" and that it flies in the face of faith.

What media outlet, for example, has pointed out the utter hypocracy of Miss California's Biblical Pronouncements. Has one of them pointed out that in making such public pronouncements as a woman adorned in a low cut gown and bespeckled with jewelry and diamonds, that Miss California was herself violating several Bible admonishments.

What media outlet has suggested that she might not want to be tossing the first stone?

Redefine marriage as woman and woman or man and man, its completely wrong. Its like saying protons with positive sign are gays. Allowing the concept of marriage to be redifined is against all natural laws.

10 years from now, we will look back and think how ignorant we were to think that gay marriage was "wrong."

Thank goodness - IT IS ABOUT TIME!!!

Hopefully, the fear mongering and downright hatred generated from Conservatives and the Religious Rightwing is finally wearing off as Americans see there's no justifiable reason (other than personal prejudices and ignorance) to discriminate against same sex couples from being allowed to marry the person they love.

It wasn't right when they banned interracial couples from marrying and it isn't right today to ban same sex couples from doing the same.

Hopefully new generations will begin to understand that people should be allowed to live their lives as they deem fit with the person they love.

Without the interference of busy-body religious/conservative types, who spend way too much time trying to force people to live the way they think they should live.

But I'm sure no-bo-no-jo has some polls to counter this, don't you? You righties are slacking off. You have to fight this. How dare the majority of America be allowed to believe that Gay couples deserve the same rights to life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness that you have. Get with it. 2M4M anyone?

One more example of the continuing extinction of the bigoted right and their dogma. America is finally shaking off the dust from the dark ages. Face it, no one is listening to you anymore.

Count me in as a supporter. If the U.S. is going to continue to support this weird dance of church and state called "marriage", then we ALL get the chance to get out on the dance floor. Count me OUT of that part, though. I don't like dancing.

It is so nice to see that the American public is finally starting to realize that gay marriage poses no threat to anyone. There is just no logical reason whatsoever to prohibit gay marriage.

Again, it is the religious element trying to impose their beliefs on the rest of the country.

I an among the one of the 57% that support civil unions. The word marriage should not be used. Mirriage is the union between a man and a woman, that union is consumated, the consumation of that marriage, or shall I say the joining of the couple represents a holy and sacred bond, you become one.

I can get even deeper because I stand on biblical teachings, in other words, the word of God. Man cannot marry man, if it were so then woman would not have been created. Everything on this earth has a mate of the opposite, the intent is to multiply. Man cannot multiply with man.

I just wish that the it should be called Civil Gay Unions, as it is their right. We are not to deny anyone their legal rights. They ahouldn't be restricted just as a womans right to chose. There is one judge and we all must give account..even if we deny Gay civil unions and women the the right to make a choice (Pro choice), we are standing in judgement.
