Voting To Ban Rights

The report below by Rachel Maddow is chilling. One more time, I'd like to harp on the "disappointed" 2008 Obama voters who stayed away from the polls in droves last year. If they still think there is no difference between the parties, they are simply, flat-out insane. The assault on marriage equality is but a part of the result of liberal non-participation. Face it. If we had solid Democratic majorities in most of the states where basic rights, which we have taken for granted for decades, are under siege, this would not be happening.

The increase since last year came exclusively among political independents and Democrats. Republicans' views did not change."
