too seriously. I can't help but feel that the same GOP who were able to win one of the most discriminatory anti-gay ballot initiatives in 2004 are so deluded into thinking that that vote was indicative of the kind of social conservative legislation they can pass in that state. It's either that drunk with power impulse that is driving them or the GOP is in such a precarious position in the state, they feel like they might as well try the most radical legislation they previously would not have attempted because they were afraid of losing power. For them this is a Hail Mary pass: either it will stir up the base into such a frothing fury that they'll come out in droves come November or it will backfire so badly that they will be put out of the statehouse and legislature for the next generation.
