Connecticut Camel Toe (er, Nose)
Here's an interesting story, with definite political implications for 2006 and 2008 - just not the implications one might be thinking at first glance.
I hate to rain on anybody's parade, but 3,000 protestors is a drop in the bucket.
Likewise, don't expect much, if any, impact on next year's elections in a state as "blue" as Connecticut.
But this has national implications, if the Dem grassroots ever calm down enough to recognize them.
Their legislators in the Nutmeg State knew what they were doing. By passing legislation instead of getting a judge to impose de facto sodomarriage by fiat, and making the label "civil unions" rather than "gay marriage," they ensured that the homosexual camel got its nose inside Hartford's legal tent in a way that opponents won't be able to effectively challenge or easily dislodge.
Social libs have trapped themselves in a snare of their own making through the complete eschewment of even a minimum level of public discretion in their tactics and rhetoric. Truly amazing, coming as it does in the immediate wake of the only two-term Democrat presidency since FDR, which was founded upon guile and misdirection.
Connecticut Donks have shown their party the way back to power, and beyond. The question is whether its legions stop shrieking long enough to pay attention.
About 3,000 protestors gathered at the state capitol Sunday to denounce lawmakers who voted in favor of legislation last week that made Connecticut the second state to offer "civil unions" to gay couples.
Brian Brown, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut, urged opponents of the bill to vote against lawmakers who supported it in next year's elections.
