One Man's CLOUT May DERAIL Gay Marriage in NY

Conservative Party Is Obstacle to Gay Marriage

"Michael R. Long works out of a cluttered office above a Greek restaurant in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, one block from the liquor store that still bears his family’s name, with a replica John Wayne revolver and a photo of Ronald Reagan on the wall. Unlike other political bosses, he fields no phalanx of high-priced lobbyists and consultants. He is virtually unknown to most New Yorkers.

But Mr. Long, the chairman of the state Conservative Party, has emerged this year as the single most potent — and immovable — obstacle to the legalization of same-sex marriage in New York.

As supporters enlist celebrity endorsements, opponents spin up advertising campaigns, and both sides swarm the State Capitol to lobby wavering lawmakers, the gravel-voiced Mr. Long, a father of nine, has used two simple weapons: an unshakable belief that gay unions would undermine the institution of marriage, and his power to bestow, or withdraw, the Conservative Party ballot line in next year’s legislative elections.

“In order to get the endorsement of the Conservative Party, one of the deal breakers is traditional marriage,” Mr. Long said in an interview last week. “You say ‘I’m not for traditional marriage,’ you’re not going to get our endorsement. It’s as simple as that.”

It is not an idle threat.

So the Conservativce Party position on "marriage" between queers is prett clear.
Let's hear the reasoned arguments of the DUmp democrats on behalf of legally sanctioned homo sodomy:

1. So this useless piece of shit can't figure how to stay out of people's sex lives?

Good point, DUmmy Bubba Kush!
 

DUmmy RKPnumbers has given a lot of thought to his retort:

7. Wow, he sure is gross.
Yeah, quit obsessing about gay sex, ya creep.

Touche! At this point, the Conservative Party must feel totally outflanked.

The DUmb****s better be looking inside their own party for the "obstacles."  There's a Dem state senator from the Bronx, whose name escapes me now, that is an ordained minister IRL, who is adamant in his opposition to gay marriage.  His name, IIRC, is Ruben Diaz, and I think there might be one or two other Dem NYS senators who also believe as he does on this. 

So, before the DUmb****s start throwing stones, they better look at their own house first.
