Wired News: Gay Marriage Poll Gets Annulled:

“We’re very concerned that the traditional state of marriage is under threat in our country by homosexual activists,” said AFA representative Buddy Smith. “It just so happens that homosexual activist groups around the country got a hold of the poll — it was forwarded to them — and they decided to have a little fun, and turn their organizations around the country (onto) the poll to try to cause it to represent something other than what we wanted it to. And so far, they succeeded with that.”

Of course, no such poll can be said to represent an accurate picture of popular opinion. But, clearly, the AFA had hoped Congress would take the numbers it planned to produce as exactly that kind of evidence.

Now, Smith says, his organization has had to abandon its goal of taking the poll to Capitol Hill.

“We made the decision early on not to do that,” Smith admitted, “because of how, as I say, the homosexual activists around the country have done their number on it.”

Just to be clear, Mr. Smith, I’m not a homosexual activist. I’m no activist at all. I’m just someone who doesn’t like it when people use statistics to lie. You had a poll, open to all. I voted. Next time, say “this poll is for AFA members only.”

Or better yet, just make up the numbers. It would be more honest.
