A bid to advance an amendment to West Virginia’s constitution to ban same-sex marriage has failed.
Republicans and social conservatives had pushed the amendment, but it languished in a House committee.
Monday, Republican delegates attempted to drive the bill directly to the floor for a vote. The bid failed 67-30 along party lines.
Amending the West Virginia constitution requires approval of the legislature and a vote by the electorate.
Earlier this month, the conservative Family Policy Council began a telemarketing campaign accusing two lawmakers - Delegates Carrie Webster and Barbara Fleischauer - of blocking a vote on the measure.
Webster and Fleischauer called the move “intimidation.” The bill was tied up in the House Committee on Constitutional Revision, which Fleischauer heads. If approved there, it would have gone to the House Judiciary committee headed by Webster..

Good deal.
Those anti-gay marriage radicals are thugs that stop at nothing, including intidiation, threats, boycotts, etc to push their anti-American, intolerant agenda down the throats of America.

"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."
