Marriage amendment opposition has consequences for business

The New York Times has a profile of Bob Page of Replacements Limited and the consequences of opposing the constitutional amendment that bans same-sex marriage and civil unions.

The company lost customers. The article suggests that's why Fortune 500 businesses headquartered in North Carolina did not get involved, even though a few executives said they personally opposed the amendment.

The amendment passed in a landslide, and is now part of the state constitution.

Business support was critical to the New York legislature legalizing same-sex marriage. The article says that big-name businesses based in Washington State are publicly opposed to an effort to repeal its new law allowing same-sex marriage.

Create the illusion....

An old trick of the liberal media.... throw up a few random HEADLINES of examples of how XYZ Repub legislation has had a DRAMATIC NEGATIVE EFFECT on business .... old people .... young people.... gays..... women.... beasts in the field.... the environment... tourism.... cancer diagnosis.... bad breath in ferrets..... the snail darter.... blah blah blah.

A few hot-bloods grab that carrot and stick it on a hair-on-fire left-wing loony website and all the little fire ants run around in circles for three days weeping and wailing.  Then, out of random examples, the original liberal media source gets bored and "drives off" to manufactures another false alarm. 

THAT's why they are called (taa daaa!) --- "The Drive-by Media"
