Bad enough for a floundering Democrat to call a legislative session for what will likely be a round of budget cuts, fiscal hocus-pocus and tax increases – worse that he’s also putting legalization of gay marriage on the agenda:
New York, November 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Gov. David Paterson has convoked an extraordinary session of the New York State Legislature to address the state’s soaring budget deficit, as well as to pass legislation that would legalize same-sex “marriage.”
Paterson issued a special proclamation Thursday announcing the special session would convene on November 10 at noon. He said the legislature would take up consideration of the Governor’s $5.2 billion “Deficit Reduction Plan” – a proposal which promises steep cuts in government spending – along with several other items including the same-sex “marriage” bill already passed by the Assembly.
Oh, but New York is liberal and so legalizing gay marriage is ok…sure, but please recall that Maine just rejected gay marriage on Tuesday. All Paterson is doing is ensuring that the social conservatives of the GOP are absolutely on fire to defeat him and the rest of the Democrats in 2010. 1,000 points for sticking to your liberal guns, governor, but minus a million for spectacular poor timing.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad – and our Democrats are completely ’round the bend these days.
