"As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live." Pope John Paul IIPaterson's approval rating is plummeting. I doubt that attacking the family will help him.
Gov. David Paterson has announced he wants the New York State Senate to vote on a same-sex "marriage" bill within the next several weeks during a special session of the legislature convened to address New York's budget deficit. However pro-family advocates see the governor's attempt as a ploy to rescue his political standing with the homosexual lobby and mitigate the political consequences legislators would have to pay in 2010 for passing same-sex "marriage."
The governor told reporters Wednesday that the special session of the legislature would first of all tackle the state's three billion dollar budget deficit, but also address leftover legislation from the summer, such as the same-sex "marriage" bill, which was derailed when two Democratic defections to the GOP threw the leadership of the Senate into confusion and all proceedings ground to a halt.
Paterson is seeking to make New York the seventh US state to legalize same-sex "marriage" and he may see its passage as key to his continued political existence, which seems all but extinct. A new Quinnipiac survey released Monday showed that NY voters would chose Attorney General Andrew Cuomo over Paterson by a margin of 3 to 1, and even black voters 2 to 1 favor Cuomo over Paterson, who is the state's first African-American governor.
