Top Republicans joined the call for the resignation of Michigan Republican National Committeeman Dave Agema over comments he made seen as insensitive to gays.
At the close of the Republican National Committee's three-day winter meeting Friday, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and state Party Chairman Bobby Schostak told the Detroit Free Press they want Agema to resign after a controversial speech in December at a party meeting in Berrien County.
"Folks, [homosexuals] want free medical because they're dying between 38 and 44 years old," Agema told the gathering. "It's a biggie. So, to me it's a moral issue. It's a biblical issue. Traditional marriage is where it should be and that is in our platform, so people that are opposed on that issue within our party are wrong."

Tell the mealy-mouthed RINOs to go pound sand, Dave.
*ping*
They need to man up and get it on.
And their problem with him is? Oops, I forgot, he spoke the truth, at least the truth he would have been permitted to utter before the 1990s.
And the circular firing squad goes on and on. Cant somebody get one mulligan, make one mistake and learn from it without withdrawing completely from political life?
I miss America. Don't y'all?
Those 20 votes we might lose from the Log Cabin Republicans if this isn’t handled well could make all the difference in 2014!
The Stupid Party is bound and determined to once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in November!
RNC:
Amnesty
Homosexual “rights”
Scandals? What scandals? IRS Benghazi what?
Obamacare - “we can do it better”
Hates its base
Gonna win in 2014 /s
TELL THEM: NO.
I hate the direction of our nation. The National GOP better shape up or they’re going to be extinct!
I don’t think the GOP-e would particularly mind becoming extinct so long as Democrat policies continue.
These GOP leaders need to be smart and keep their mouths shut. Every time some dumbass opens his mouth, this is back in the news.
Speaking truth about queers will get one in “trouble” every time.
Freedom lovers should be taboo breakers. Speak truth to power about queers, baby killers, Poverty, race baiting, God mocking, etc.
Sounds pretty accurate *so* far.....
Well, isn’t it nice to see that the RNC really manned up on this one? That little back bone stiffened right up when a politically incorrect statement was made. I bet their waiting right now to be kissed by the Democrats they so admired. I hope he tells them to pound sand - or better concrete.
Resign? For stating the truth?
My gosh, I sometimes think it’s become impossible for my opinion of the GOP to sink any further, but they constantly find a way to make it happen. The sheer cowardice of Priebus here... the bowing down to deviants with their leftist agenda...
The Republican Party used to stand for family values!! A very big reason it gained my support and allegiance all those years ago. Now it’s become all but a partner to the Dems in America’s cultural descent into abject degeneracy. Damn Priebus and the GOP to hell!
Priebus...what a sickening little twinkie.
That’s all he said? Wow! Why I am not a Republican and never will be again.
