Gay marriage opponent apologizes after not fully disclosing poll results
http://famulus.msnbc.com/famulusgen/ap01-09-152606.asp?t=apnew&vts=1920041532

BOSTON, Jan. 9 — The leader of a state group that opposes gay marriage acknowledged it did not release portions of a poll that indicated voters are deeply divided on whether to ban same-sex marriage.

Ron Crews of the Massachusetts Family Institute said he regretted downplaying the omitted survey results as irrelevant.

4. er.........
I have no pity for this guy who claims he is "deeply sorry". Of course he isn't; the last thing he wants is the poll results to show that not all Americans are as bigotted as he is.

3. Fundies and republicans hate the truth worse than anything....
It must have seemed perfectly natural to lie about the poll results. Crews probably still doesn't really understand what all the fuss is about.

6. That's one of the main differences between Pugs and Dems
Dems celebrate our diversity, Pugs suppress information and try to make their adherents think that their extreme views are justified by convincing them that they are somehow a majority.

polls to further their corporate/extreme right/Taliban agenda, say it isn't so.

14. Of course he is deeply sorry
Sorry that the results don't agree with his bigoted viewpoint and sorry that he got caught hiding them!
