Poll question: Okay, so Ted Olsen wants to fight for gay rights....what do GLBT want?
Apparently major GLBT groups are strongly opposed to a supreme court case preferring a state by state approach (especially considering how close we are to winning in California and New York).

I question if Olsen's concern for gay marriage rights is honest or simply a cheap shot to rush the issue at a time when we will likely lose in the supreme court.

What do you guys think?

1. Let's take a look at the track record...
Arkansas Project..... Florida Election Theft..... Originating the "boxcutter" horseshit that is the cornerstone of the 9-11 LIE......

Is this a guy who can be trusted to do ANYTHING to help decent American people (gay or otherwise)

2. I don't trust him a bit
I wouldn't put it past him to try to get this sunk at the federal level just to screw us completely and finally.

3. I think each of us should look up and list our state Representatives.
And then pledge to call them at least 3 times a week.

We focus so much on national politics, yet we have much more influence over what we get accomplished locally.
