Proposition 2 passes

[cedricbenson]

As expected, the state of Texas passed prop. 2 defining marriage between man and a woman.
And the people of Maverick county overwhelmingly approved of the ammendment with 70% of the Mav. county vote being Yes. I guess this shows that EP consists of mostly conservative democrats.

never mind I take back what I said...I want to delete that first post but I can't...anybody know how? I know that newer users have an option to but what about us that have been around longer?

There are two main wings in the Democratic party. There's the dominant Liberal wing, and then there's the moderate/conservative wing of the Dem party.

Most people in EP are indeed Democrats, but they are mostly in the moderate/conservative wing of the party. The reason why a lot of conservative Dems in EP stay Dems is mostly because of economics.
But on social issues, most Eagle Passans are conservative, due mainly to the influence of the Catholic Church. And it's 50/50 on the support of the Iraq war in EP. But many people here are getting fed up with the Democratic party's stances on issues such as abortion and gay marriage and are becoming either independents or Republicans.

Well I know that..I just had to think about it a little bit. :cool:

I'm just curious to know how you can delete a post :confused:

[cedricbenson]

I think you have to ask Mena or Boxrocks to delete posts.

you can go back click on edit and just erase the message.

Energy is right. Give it a shot so you can try and if you still can't do it still let me know.
