Washington (CNN) - Steve Schmidt, a key architect of John McCain's presidential campaign, is making his first public return to Washington a bold one.
Schmidt will use a speech Friday to Log Cabin Republicans, a gay rights group, to urge conservative Republicans to drop their opposition to same-sex marriage, CNN has learned.
"There is a sound conservative argument to be made for same-sex marriage," Schmidt will say, according to speech excerpts obtained by CNN. "I believe conservatives, more than liberals, insist that rights come with responsibilities. No other exercise of one's liberty comes with greater responsibilities than marriage."

Just because a follower of Satan says something it doesn’t make it true.
I assume the idol-worship of Schmidt and the Schmidt ping list has been discontinued?

New Ping list: The Schmit Storm (Karl Rove’s Protege)
There was a ping list...WTH?
Forget it, Kojak. You and Meghan go get a room somewhere.
Schmidt spent a couple years helping Arnold wreak havoc in California, before moving on to help McCain.
My reaction to the ping list was the same as yours, LOL.
Maybe ole Stevie is bent himself. Understand Washington D.C. is a limp-wristers paradise.
Satan’s minions have infiltrated the GOP. Steve needs to take his ideas where they are welcomed...the jackass party.
No wonder McCain lost
Water is wet
Men are men
Women are women
How absurd can this get?
Marriage (barf) between two homosexuals a God Given Right? And just where is this God Given Right to be found??? I’ve read the Bible, and according to the Word of God, homosexuality is a sin, and the wages of sin are death.
Every state that has voted on this has defeated it. EVEN CALIFORNIA.
It is a proven losing issue, and that's been shown over and over and over again.
Why, after you get your ass kicked, should you go looking for losing issues to identify with?
The definition of marriage as between a man and a woman has existed for thousands of years - THOUSANDS!! It is astonishing that people are seriously considering changing to to include a variety of unthinkable perversions which they also want to indoctrinate in the school systems. Obama and his ilk are disgusting - but to have a Republican propose this garbage is truly shocking.
I'm glad McCain is against gay marriage, but when will he tell his daughter to shut up?
It sounds like he might already be sharing a room with Anderson Cooper, if you know what I mean.
The Gay Lobby in this Country is much stronger then many know.
If this is a God-given right, then you’d have to argue the same for Polygamy.
With “Republicans” like these, who needs Democrats? Mr. Schmidt, the God I know defined marriage as such:
“4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Matthew 19:4-6.
I’m positive if Jesus truly wanted marriage redefined from a definitively co-ed institution to a gender-neutral institution, then He would have done so right then and there and settled the issue for all time. After all, he physically rose from the dead so redefining marriage would’ve been a piece of cake for Him relatively speaking. Yet, He never did redefine marriage.
Also, God could’ve made it possible for 2 men to reproduce a child together but He didn’t. If that were possible, then why would He have made women physically different from men? If men could have married men and had children with men back in Bible times, the status of women would’ve been(and probably would’ve stayed) far lower than it already was.
I didn’t know Schmidt enjoyed teabaggin’. Perhaps he should hang out with ACDC/360.
Not only was McLoser a Manchurian Candidate, he had a Manchurian Campaign Director.
Small wonder The GOP lost.
It is amazing this clown can say all this with a straight face.
The lies and outrages from the Left are coming daily. Now they are occurring form the GOP as well.
I am beginning to believe that all this is not by accident, but by design.
We conservatives are the only impediment to “true progress” by the enlightened masters, and they mean to take us out, one way or another.
Steve Schmidt in other times would have been shamed into obscurity.
But he will be hailed as a leader, a visionary. By other Republicans.
He is playing a wedge role, to divide and conquer, similar to how Meghan McCain is being used(although she is too stupid to realize it).
McStupid had a fifth column in his campaign and this guy was the head of it, in my opin ion. Now, it is becoming more clear why Sarah Palin was sabotaged and by whom.
Our worst instincts about McLooney and crew are being proven true day by day.
It is becoming clear that the resolution of all of this upheaval being generated by the elites in DC will not end peacefully.
It is not what we desire, but it is what they desire. They mean to clean our clock once and for all.
Ranting? Crazy talk?
Just think of what has occurred in the last 90 days, and you tell me we normal Americans are not now the enemy to the ruling elites in BOTH parties.
We will NOT drop our opposition to same-sex marriage! It a proven fact that most gay “marriages” do not last and they end up harming the children that are adopted. The institution of marriage has been sacred for thousands of years and these liberals want to undermine everything.
Why are we having this liberal infestation in the GOP???
That was a nasty crack.
Ooops!
why do these gays insist on calling it marriage? it isn’t and never will be. Call it something else. it’s like the difference between natural born and adopted children — yeah they’re family, no adopted isn’t natural born and never will be. Yeah, civil union can have insurance and hospital visits, no they aren’t married, because they aren’t two different sexes. Now, can they own things as joint tenants with right of survivorship if they are in a civil union? Will there be a share to take by election if the unitee is left out of his/her partner’s will? And civil union has to be defined carefully too. Can it include more than two? Does it require parental consent for those below age? What kind of dissolution laws do we need to cope with breaking up? What kind of adoption standards do we need for those in civil unions?
Steve Schmidt can shove it where the sun don’t shine. No pun intended. I mean it.
My gay brother, who married his partner, died of AIDS 3 years ago. His lifestyle choice killed him.
Republicans do not need to support this nonsense.
Isn’t this the jerk that was badmouthing Sarah Palin from within the McCain camp? I’m pretty sure it is.
Just give them time. Although I figure the Dems will support polygamy before the GOP does seeing it will help bring in more welfare dependants/Democratic voters.
If it were a “God given right”, dontcha think He would have got the pluming right?
Gee, with top advisers like Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace I am SHOCKED that Sarah Palin was betrayed! SHOCKED!
Exactly my point on post 18.
You called it. Who do you like in the World Series this year?.....
Yikes! I have no idea! So I’ll pick on PA. LOL.
I’d like NOT to see the Phillies — just as I’d like NOT to see Arlen Specter running for Senate. ;-)
I still believe it was Steve Schmidt who released all the anti-Palin stuff as soon as the election was over, they are 180 from each other morally.
Fixed it.
Odd that the article neglected to state that.
Chortle. Thanks!
where is the proof that gay marriages do not last and harm kids? Please show me
Offer them this compromise: get the government out of the business of marriage licensing, so it is a civil matter, then they can go ahead and marry; however, repeal any federal laws that grant them special rights. If they say they want to be like everyone else, then they can prove it.

I want to see those try and get polygamy and I want to see others get their kind of marriage.
maybe people will wake up and understand what the hell is going on here
I agree, that is what a small government philosophy should suggest. What special rights are you speaking of, BTW?
As an aside, I wonder what people think about anti-discrimination laws. Can I refuse to hire a woman because my religious views say women should not hold leadership positions (like its says in 1 Timothy 2)? Can I refuse to hire a black person because I believe my customers are racist and hiring a black person will be bad for business? Should I be able to not hire a gay person because I think it is sinful and disgusting and do not want that influence around my employees or family.
Does it matter if I am a public or private employer?
Similarly, should I be able to tell a gay person he/she is sinful or evil, and going to hell? What about a Muslim or a Jew or Mormon or other? Where is the line between free speech and harassment? I am asking from a legal not a “good taste” standpoint.
I’m bringing a few other with whom I have debated these points, hope that is okay, I’d like your perspectives
What ‘god’ does he worship? Must be evolutionism’s ‘god of forces.’
we have to get rid of this liberal infestation i9n our party, I ma not saying that we can have no different views but one stance or platform for us in this party is traditional family, mum and dad, wife and husband, not two homos who like to do disgusting acts with each other and then pretend to play families thus hurting kids
I never ever will recognise any homo as normal nor will I recognise any two people of the same sex as married nor will I ever recognise two of the same sex as parents.
I am still young and have plenty of years in me and I will fight them every day for the rest of my life and so will my young kids
for any homos out there reading this
understand this, the majority of people in this country find you sick, you hang around wit your own kind and on the Internet with your own kind but you will never be accepted out of your homo./ liberal circle
The polls and votes have shown this even in CA. You may win in some courts but you are not accepted no matter how many times you go to the courts or tell yourselves on your freak parades .
You can call me what ever name you want but guess what. I do not care I care what my family thinks of me and no one else.
call me, get in my face(like to see that as you won’t be there for long) or have your freak parades I do not care/
You want to tell me your a homo with your stickers and flags on your cars the so be it
You are certanly entitiled to your beliefs and opinions, but I wonder how homo parents unambiguously “hurt kids” as you imply. My experiences say the opposite.
I have many neighbors who are gay with adopted kids. From what I see they are no better or worse parents than my wife and me, or our hetero neighbors. In one case two lesbians adopted two girls from a very abusive, drug addicted home. The girls seem to be doing fine, both are heterosexual, good students, polite and upstanding kids.
Would you rather they be in their old home, probably drug addicted and turning tricks like their mom? I think their current family is much better than the old one, regardless of the parents’ gender.
If big government anti-homo adoption laws were in place, these girls (and many others I know) would be much worse off
Do a search using the keywords “homosexual agenda”, read up for a few days or weeks (depending on how much time you have) and then get back to the discussion. A number of Freepers spent years digging up facts and figures, and I for one am not about to start doing it again.
The verdict is in - homosexuality is degrading, perverted, unnatural, immoral and unhealthy behavior. Homosexuals have a much higher rate of molesting children up to and including adolescants than normal people, and many if not most were molested when young.
No one is born homosexual, and many have been healed from their attraction to the same sex.
It is also a fact that homosexual “marriage” is being pushed not because many homosexuals really want to be married in any sense of the word, but in order to change (ie “destroy”) society and society’s foundation. It is stated by many of their spokesfolks, that the reason they want marriage is purely political.
If you are sincere and really want to know about this, read. If not, then you’re on the wrong forum.
I saw your post before and thought who you were so I checked your past posts and saw that you are a fanatical paul supporter and you harp on about your small Govt
here’s my experience so read this carefully about homos
I grew up in foster homes, one of the kids I was with got adopted by a couple, normal couple , two years later they divorced and the mum who he had to say with started to go with other women
social services knew what was going on but the kid got weird , he would dress in women’s clothes but knew he liked women.
He told one of the kids at the home that he would see his adopted mum with another woman all the time
years later I found out that he killed himself, yes KILLED HIMSELF
he left a message saying how he hated his mum, how he never wanted to say in that home once dad left and all he ever wanted what we all wanted in the home was to be with a mum and dad
so don’t give me any crap about how small Govt should keep out of their lives of homos don’t hurt others
Now I will read the rest of your post
