Mando, the article clearly stated that 60% were in favor of some kind of civil union, it did not say they were in favor of marriage like you so smugly posted. :rolleyes:
Quote:
Nearly 60 percent of the respondents said they support civil unions, a governmental recognition of a same-sex relationship that offers many of the same rights as married couples receive. Thirty-three percent said they oppose civil unions
It also said:
Quote:
For instance, a nationwide New York Times/ CBS News poll published last week showed that 55 percent of Americans favored the constitutional amendment, while 40 percent opposed the idea.
Quote:
In a Rocky Mountain News/News 4 poll, 47 percent of respondents opposed a constitutional change that calls for defining marriage as "one man and one woman," and 43 percent favored it
Quote:
Of those who opposed it, 38 percent said they felt "strongly." Of those who favored it, 36 percent said they felt "strongly."

....the company that conducted the poll of 400 registered voters.....
I hardlt think 400 people is a representative sample. You are being dishonest and couldnt take the heat when Madman called you on it. I am glad you posted the article so we could see what it actually said. Otherwise we would have to take your inaccurate word on it. :rolleyes:
