The Gay Empire State

[Cincinnatus]

No one wants to be that deciding vote.  The local papers and News stations are covering this quite a lot recently and that's their opinion.  They figure that the one person who crosses the aisle, will become vilified by Republican voters.  Seeing as how they're having trouble getting several members of the party to vote in favor, no one wants to be that deciding vote. 

This vote still isn't covered as much as the state trying to collect the tax from Indian reservations.  Now there's a New York state journalists paradise.

There are a few, yes.  They're not exactly a huge factor in the polls because of turnout though.  In fact, turnout is fairly low for just about everything in the area lately

How lovely. They're quite ridiculous though, as anything can be used as a "slippery slope" argument. If a man can marry a woman, why can't he marry two? What about three? Where does it end?

I like the 'slippery slope' argument in reverse: if same-sex couples are denied the right to marry today, who's to say opposite-sex couples won't be denied that right tomorrow? Pretty soon, no-one will be allowed to marry!

With the disturbingly high divorce rate, you might be on to something
