The trend on support for same-sex marriage from 538.com, it makes Ben Quayle giggle

While Republicans cravenly play to their base and the President and much of the Democratic Leadership cravenly stays quiet, there is some good news as pointed out at the Great Orange Satan, the social issues of the “professional left” are becoming the majority viewpoints of we mere amateurs.

Do you think gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to get married and have their marriage recognized by law as valid?
49% Yes, 51% No

Do you think gays and lesbians should have a constitutional right to get married and have their marriage recognized by law as valid?
52% Yes, 46% No

So, when the average person — a non-legal scholar — is asked what they think the Constitution says they are split, but support for the belief that same sex-marriages SHOULD be a Right grows.

And it’s growing all the time. The bulk of the support comes from people thirty-five and under who favor it overwhelmingly. So even if the Democratic establishment will not lead, they will still have to get out of the way.

But hey, in the long-run, as their base dies off, the Republicans will probably still have this guy:

Yeah, suck on that one every religious organization in the country.

Pouting Baby doesn't understand Bobby Gibbs (photo courtesy of Jim White)

[The photo really is me as a baby.  I pulled it off the shelf today and was startled to learn that he has something to say to us, so what appears below are his words.   Or my words.   Well, I guess both... JW]

I saw Bobby Gibbs on television yesterday and I don’t understand what he was saying.  He was really mad at a lot of people who want to make things better for everyone.

People were asking him why he is mad at the nice doctors and nurses who took care of Mom-mom and Paw-paw when they were sick after they got really old.  They never went to Canada in their lives, so I don’t know what Canada has do with trying to make them feel better.  Why does Bobby Gibbs not want the nice doctors and nurses to help everyone instead of just helping old people?  Is that what Mr. O wants?

Then people asked him why he is mad at the people who want fighting to stop.  I get really scared when I see fights on the television, so I go to another room.  Why does Bobby Gibbs want the fighting not to stop?  Is that what Mr. O wants?

Bobby Gibbs had a funny look on his face when the people kept asking him more questions.  Sometimes I have that look, too.  Then I just squeeze my tummy muscles really hard and feel all better.  Especially after a nice change.  Is that what Mr. O wants?
