one would expect new hampshire voters to not hold conservative views on abortion and "gay rights". the reason gay marriage is not a state issue is that it has effects when these couples move to another state and also that it affects other laws such as adoption, etc....our position to have an amendment to the constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman is to avoid further interpretations such as three way relationships, etc which you can imagine can be endless varieties. we do not allow mormons to marry polygamously for this same reason...it has nothing to do with hating gays. we understand that they want to be able to have legal partnerships to protect their assets, etc...we do not need to call it marriage to accomplish this....we see this as a further undermining of the traditional family, the backbone of society.

as for casey beating him in his third senatorial race, casey won in part because he is a pro-life democrat, thus negating part of santorum's appeal to voters. he was also the son of a popular governor.

where is the watering hole? maybe you should all spend your monday evenings at the tea party meeting and then we would all really need a drink afterwards
