Big GOP consultant comes out against anti-gay
measure in Florida

post from AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth on 03 November 2008 02:19:00 PM. © AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth

This is interesting. Roger Stone is a longtime name in Republican political circles. He's a bit of a dandy (okay, a lot of a dandy), and has had his own run-ins with the morality police (he and his wife were caught running ads in a wife-swapper's magazine). He's also the guy who claims he tipped the cops to Elliot Spitzer's prostitution habit. So it's interesting that Stone, a far-right conservative, and a rather nasty man politically, is coming out vocally against Florida's anti-gay "marriage" amendment. Here is what Stone had to say:

Florida has a Constitutional Amendment on the ballot on Tuesday, November 4 which would theoretically ban gay marriage. I am voting against it and urge my fellow Floridians to join me in voting NO.

As a libertarian I don't want the government telling me what I can do in my private life. Life is short and true happiness is hard to find. If loving gay couples want to form a union what business is it of mine?

Why shouldn't gay people be protected like everyone else when it comes to credit, property rights and equal protection under the law? Saying "God" ordained that marriage be between a man and woman is mixing Church and State-it's unconstitutional.

I don't want the government telling me what kind of gun I can own, what kind of drugs I can ingest or who I can marry. I want government out of the boardroom and the bedroom. I don't want the government deciding what consenting adults can do in private.

The first landmark anti-gay ballot question, the Briggs Amendment, was defeated in California when former Governor Ronald Reagan had the courage to oppose it because it infringed on personal freedom. Amendment 2 is much the same. Vote against it.

It's not often you find a Republican who actually extrapolates from their own personal experience to a larger understanding of rights and freedoms. Now, Stone hasn't admitted that his personal tastes influenced his opposition to this measure, but I have a hunch it has. And that's a lot more consistent than a lot of Republicans like Larry "Gay Bathroom Sex" Craig and David "I Like Hookers" Vitter.

What the (nearly) final polls show: Obama, almost
100%

What was the (largely discredited) Bradley effect? 3%.During the primaries, a number of pollsters overestimated Obama’s percentage by what? Usually 3 points.So we can determine from both that any state where Obama’s now 4 points ahead, he’ll likely win. Doing that, he easily wins. So let’s set a higher hurdle for him.Let’s just go with [...]
