You are in fact nannying the parents and the child as well.

Arcadia,

Actually, saying that parents continue to make decisions for their minor children, not the government, is the exact opposite of a “nanny state.”

We know what 4 and 8 are about. If the other 6 Prop's are as bad as 4 and 8, I hope they all get rejected. "No" on 4! "No" on 8! I want to know what Prop. 1 -3 and 5-7 are about.

But I agree that there should be the exact same privileges regarding legal documents, hospital visitation, etc. I would hope every conservative would feel the same way...maybe I'm wrong. I just don't think "sex" should matter in those situations. I don't care if you are a homosexual "couple" or just two male best friends. what did anyone here think about what Sarah Palin had to say about civil rights for gays??

The same issue was polling near these numbers even closer to election day in 2005 and it still lost by 8 points. We can expect 4 to fail, even if it does so by a smaller margin than the 2005 & 2006 votes. Also I don't think proponents can count on their historical advantage in the early voting if you compare the McCain and Obama camps respective efforts at encouraging mail in voting. I'm not that worried about prop 4.
