tazzygirl -> NY Gay Marriage vote held up by one... and he is a Republican! (6/18/2011 11:13:26 AM)

A bill to legalize gay marriage in New York is in the hands of 32 Republican state senators meeting behind closed doors, and according to reports, the measure is just a single vote away from passage.
According to the New York Times, the measure gained precious momentum after a second Republican state senator came forward to support the bill.
Frustrated by the pressure he and fellow swing Republicans are facing, Sen. Roy J. McDonald of Saratoga offered a few blunt words for his critics.
"You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, f--- it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing," he explained in a statement to reporters.
"I’m tired of Republican, Democrat politics; I’m tired of blowhard radio people, blowhard television people, blowhard newspapers."
"They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background, I’m trying to do the right thing, and that’s where I’m going with this."
