Yep. It's certainly a bad idea for the Republicans to back an issue supported by 70-80% of the population. That's a sure path to defeat.

Don't delude yourself. Only 50% of Americans want a fed marriage amendment. This will NEVER happen in this Congress.

Let's get the votes on the record. Let's line up the names.

And let's unburden the truth and get it out where we can see it clearly: it is gay marriage that would result in greater governmental intrusion into the lives of Americans. Banning gay marriage would RESTRICT the power of government.

So does Roe v. Wade restrict the power of government. But there is no moral equivalence between abortion and traditional marriage. The former is a vile disease, the latter an essential condition for the continued good health of this nation. Thus, government should be loosed to protect innocent life and restricted from forcing acceptance of gay marriage (which would destroy traditional marriage by dilution)
