His oppsition to gay marriage isn't exaclty "absurd."  At least in that instance, his postion mirrors that of 75-80% of the country.


no, around 1/3 of the population support gay marriage. And he supports the FMA, supported by less than half of the population. And of course that other loony stuff he said.

nationwide? no. The following states passed it last election with over 75%:

Arkansas
Georgia
Kentucky
Mississippi
Oklahoma

But those are all pretty damn conservative states, especially socially.

Even in Utah, over 1/3 voted no, and it got below 60% in Michigan and Oregon. So it's safe to say that nationally the number is not 75-80%, unless Georgia and Oklahoma are equal to the rest of the nation socially. This also of course doesn't take into account that those ballot iniatives are really just ways to draw all the fundies out and disproportionately increase their turnout.
