But throw in a different type of discrimination and this BULLSHIT passes.

Right after I voted, I went outside, and saw a small plane in the air. It had a message it was pulling. Said "vote YES ON 8." L.A. County even passed it(7 out of 10 Blacks voted for it.) The majority of people in the state don't like gays. If they are gunna leave it up to the majority, then it ain't gunna work. This is twice now. If they try it again, it will be about the same result. Gays are the public's last group of bitches. They don't want to give that up.

Really? Arkansas is traditionally one of the reddest states in the nation (Billy not included.)

EXACTLY! Gays are the last group (well maybe Muslims now) that you can discriminate against where ever and when ever you want and people agree with you. Its like the religious nuts and repubs last piece of bigotry that they feel justified on.

How ANY black person could vote YES on Prop 8 is beyond me!

They should know all about equal rights and support it.

This makes me sick.

i think there was, and has been in the past. i voted against them too, too far too the right, and too religious.

All's I know is that not a single person running for federal office in Arkansas - including four D's - had an opponent. Their state legislature is like 3:1 D's to Republicans. They might vote red on a federal level, but that is a state that is absolutely dominated by Democrats on the state and local levels.

it's an odd state. that's why i laugh when people plant labels. someone is liberal, or conservative, etc, etc. but many people defy labels.

arkansas has many folks who are conservative in their viewpoints on social issues such as gay marriage, abortion, but are liberal leaning otherwise. oh, wait..i mean dem-leaning. that liberal word is frowned upon around here.

i know there was a huge amount of folks with no opponent. but i remember when pryor ran against hutchison, i voted for pryor. when some ultra-zealot nutjob was running for lt. gov--oh yeah, halter, that guy's a freak--i voted for our current, democrat lt.governor-and he's the one who got the lottery on the ballot, and it passed-amazing! now, we're all going to hell apparently because of gambling.

Before Tuesday, there were 75 D and 25 R in the AR state house and 27-8 D vs. R in the Senate. I think R's picked up three seats the other night, but there are still at least 70 Dems in the state house.

Probably the Dems version of H.R. Halderman for Nixon! He's described as a pitbull.......that will be great for reaching across the aisle.

Wow, I had no idea it was so Democrat leaning in-state.

But Arkansas STILL has more slot machines at thoroughbred racetracks than the 'progressive' state of New York
