Well, Ann lost me when she dissed Sarah. Sarah is way more a woman than Ann. Ann has gone over to the pro-homosexuality group and is supporting Romney because he said that he could get support for same sex unions through. She said she’d vote for Obama if Romney did not win. That says a lot to me...and nothing that I like, either.
Ann does make hyperbolic comments from time to time. I sincerely doubt she will vote for Obama, regardless of who our candidate is. After all, she firmly dissed Romney as the candidate we did NOT want very early when the campaign started.
I suppose I’m more of a libertarian Republican. I’ve had a number of homosexual friends, & I don’t see the issue with allowing them to marry. If you are extremely religious, I can understand your opposition. But if we want to encourage a more wholesome lifestyle, it’s one way of letting gays establish a long-term relationship with some semblance of societal acceptance. Better that than the ‘bath house’.
However, Republicans need to make a very strong case that under no circumstances will we condone child sex. I was shocked when Tammy Bruce said that virtually all of her male gay friends admitted to having been abused as a child. That says a lot about the psychological trauma that resulted in the life-style. I’ve known mostly lesbians. At least one was a radical feminist who chose that lifestyle & later grew up & found a guy. Another friend had been in an abusive hetero relationship at the age of 16 resulting in a son. She ended up in a lesbian relationship, & she & her partner raised her son who is a wonderful young man, now happily married with two kids of his own.
I love Sarah Palin, but she doesn’t speak well & she would’ve come off badly against the professorial demeanor of Obama. (I know, he ain’t that smart, but without the uh’s he sounds good.) And it was obvious that the left was well-prepared to heap more calumny on her if she attempted to run. I hope that Romney has the sense to make her Energy Secretary, or in some way utilize her skills so that the American people can see her as the intelligent & competent person we know she is. She’s still young enough for a presidential run after Romney.
