“Why does he get any slack whatsoever, when he’s out there preaching that we need to all get with the program and accept Gay marriage?”
With our country circling the bowl, I find it very difficult to get spun up about gay marriage and abortion. I abhor both. I think women who abort their unborn children are murderers. I would prefer to see Gays have some sort of civil union, but that would not shut them up! Same for Marijuana, it’s a social issue. Personally, if there were a way to eliminate these three issues from the political discourse right now I’d do it. The RATS use all of these issues to their advantage, and the Conservatives “rise to the bait” and get their collective asses shot off in so doing. You can’t legislate personal behavior.
We need to focus on the economic fabric of our country, and Newt would have done a very good job in that arena. So I guess you can focus on your pet social issue if you want, but at the end of the day it isn’t going to matter one whit, if there isn’t a country anymore. Whether or not Gays can marry is not an issue that is anywhere near the level of our economic wellbeing in my view.

Says it all really. No wonder you support Newt. :)
Have a wonderful evening.
