How the US engineered the Irish gay marriage vote

[rexlunae]

Because they ought to leave it to the Irish to figure it out themselves, without exerting undue influence. Had a US group exerted such in an effort to get the Irish to vote "No" on the gay marriage referendum, it would have been dreadful, simply dreadful......

Did you have the same objections when the Catholic and Mormon churches teamed up to pass Prop 8 in California?

Is that your opinion about our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan too?

Either way, they did figure it out themselves. They figured out that by accepting money from US citizens they could get this passed.

Yes, it is my opinion on our involvement in Iraq and Afgh.

Okie

There must be a tin foil hat someplace.

Good grief, Ireland went the way they did because it was the right thing to do. All these conspiracy theories are interesting to look at but Occams razor is much more accurate.

Yes, indeed, I did.

Do you think that's comparable to a US organization plowing tons of money in a foreign campaign?
