I guess this means that she believes 2/3 of Americans are mean-spirited and against the entire forward movement of American history.

Of the Federal Marriage Amendment she said, "This amendment was wedge politics at it's worst. It was mean-spirited, it was against the entire forward movement of American history. It was the first time anyone was proposing we amend the Constitution to deny citizens rights rather than widen the circle of rights and opportunities."

"In the end, we stopped the Federal Marriage Amendment and we sent a strong message that we will not stand idly by when anyone tries to write discrimination into our Constitution."

In only a single instance where the people have spoken has the pro-gay marriage prevailed—and then because the proposal banning gay marriage was poorly drafted. In every other case, gay marriage has been rejected by the voters by a 2-1 margin. I would therefore argue that Senator Clinton has put herself far outside the mainstream on this one – and has done so by insulting the overwhelming majority of Americans.

But it appears that Hillary is sucking-up – forgive the term – to gay rights groups in a big way. So much for the moderate image she has been trying to project.
