BS! the Dems are moderates?!?!  The Dems are just like the repubs and you just cant see it. They hold the carrot out infront of their voters, just like the repubs do. Can't you see they are both bought and sold? This political ploy by the POTUS is a joke, a vote grab. Just like the left and the right do every freakin election, but the sheeple just keep on voting on both sides.

Yes, American Democrats are moderates. With the exception of Bernie Sanders, who isn't even a part of the party anymore.


Of course all politicians of both parties are bought and sold.

And Obama didn't need to say anything about gay marriage to grab any votes. Homosexuals were going to vote for him regardless.

hes dropped five pts in the latest nyt/cbs poll since he gay marriage proclamation...its a political loser for him big time...in fact the one thing he didnt want to do in this election was to stir up the republican base...a base that hates romney...hes already black so beyond that i cant think of anything that would stir up your peoples anger like coming out in support of gay people

i know this is a foreign concept to the right because they only go for delf but being progressive/liberal means at times you actually do things for others even at your own peril

House of Delegates rejects gay judge Tracy Thorne-Begland
By Laura Vozzella

Virginia's General Assembly rejected a gay man for a Richmond judgeship early Tuesday, after conservatives argued that his support for gay marriage and challenge to the military's now-defunct "don't ask, don't tell" policy made him unfit for the bench.

(Del. ROBERT G. MARSHALL (R-Prince William) led the fight against appointing a gay judge.) The House of Delegates voted 33 to 31, with 10 abstentions, to make Richmond prosecutor Tracy Thorne-Begland a General District Court judge in Richmond. He had needed 51 votes in the 100-member chamber to win appointment.

"He holds himself out as being married," said Del. Robert G. Marshall (R-Prince William), who is running for U.S. Senate. Noting that gay marriage is not legal in Virginia, he said that Thorne-Begland's "life is a contradiction to the requirement of submission to the constitution."

The Senate did not vote on the nomination itself, but Republicans killed it by passing it by for the day — the very last of this year's General Assembly session. The decision to pass it by cleared the evenly divided 20-19, with one Democrat, Yvonne B. Miller of Norfolk not voting.

"The debate in the House of Delegates was homophobic and embarrassing and showed a disrespect to a chief deputy commonwealth attorney and decorated veteran who was honorably discharged," said Sen. Adam P. Ebbin (D-Alexandria), Virginia's first openly gay senator. "It's offensive that the Senate wouldn't even grant Lt. Thorne-Begland the courtesy of a vote."

Marshall, the Family Foundation of Virginia and others who raised concerns about Thorne-Begland's nomination said they did not object to him because he is gay, but because of his outspokenness on the subject of gay rights.

"I would guess — law of averages — we've probably nominated people who have homosexual inclinations," Marshall said. Marshall faulted Thorne-Begland for coming out as a gay Naval officer on "Nightline" two decades ago to challenge the military's now-repealed ban on gays openly serving in the military. He said that amounted not just to insubordination, but to a waste of taxpayer dollars, since it resulted in his dismissal from the Navy. "The Navy spent $1 million training him," Marshall said. "That's cheating the country out of the investment in him."

what is happening in this country?  Is it just the conservative radio/tv that has made the sheeple completely incapable of thinking on their own?  The general hate out there is just mind boggling.

yo shore and pmic.....they comin for ya!!

WASHINGTON — For the first time in U.S. history, most of the nation's babies are members of minority groups, according to new census figures that signal the dawn of an era in which whites no longer will be in the majority.

Population estimates show that 50.4 percent of children younger than 1 last year were Hispanic, black, Asian or other minorities. That's almost a full percentage point higher than the 49.5 percent of minority babies counted when the decennial census was taken in April 2010. Census demographers said the tipping point came three months later, in July.

The latest estimates, which gauge changes since the last census, are a reflection of an immigration wave that began four decades ago. The transformation of the country's racial and ethnic makeup has gathered steam as the white population grows collectively older, especially compared with Hispanics.

The census has forecast that non-Hispanic whites will be outnumbered in the United States by 2042, and social scientists consider that current status among infants a harbinger of the change.

LOL, there goes the neighborhood!!

Whitey will just introduce a virus that thins the herd.

No worries...

[General_Failure]

Well if AIDS was doing the job it wouldn't be a problem.


Also, I love the people going around saying "white people are a minority now."

[Sgt PSN]

Perhaps in pure numbers, but until white people are the minority in government, then they're still the majority.

 Why aren't there any posts about George Zimmerman anymore?   Is it because all the evidence has supported his claims.   Womp Womp.
