The NH State Legislature wants to repeal gay marriage? Prepare for another Social Media firestorm

It'll be like SOPA/PIPA and Komen/Planned-Parenthood all over again. At first, they will try to repeal it quietly and quickly. Then it's going to be all over Facebook and Twitter. The NH legislature won't know what hit them. Then in a few days to a week, they will meekly back off their repeal attempt.

Mark my words.

it's not that amazing that this sort of thing happens. I wish Obama would provide some leadership on this issue.

overturning his veto wouldn't be as simple as they wish.

I don't think a "firestorm" will make them 'back off' but it might make the few reps who matter think twice about the fact that the majority of NH citizens do NOT want marriage equality repealed.

We need to clean house this fall

Are the nastiest, smarmiest, most condescending "Political operatives" ever seen in thies parts. Saturday's Concord Monitor has an opinion peice calling for a constitutional ammendment to be able to impeach the Speaker of The House. It could'nt come a moment too soon.....
