8. Another "big fan" of repeal, as long as they don't have to actually do anything.

But "by Cracky" (a little Gabby Hayes there for all of us), if somebody else will circulate the hundreds of thousands of petitions, get the millions of verified signatures and go to every state and every town hall meeting, lobby all the thousands of legislators at the Federal and state level for all 50 states repeatedly.

They'll have to push for passage day and night and not mind having the Dems lose many, many state and federal seats, to make the poster happier. I'm sure they have that level of long term commitment.

Then when they realize how much is involved they fall back on that old, lazy punch line; "Well, we really just need one more liberal judge to interpret it correctly."

Mouthing off online is easy, getting anything actually done in the real world takes grass roots infrastructure and hard work and none of them seem too terribly interested in that part.
