This is what you get: GOP candidates run on traditional issues, and then bait and switch and spend most of their time defending banker-bailouts, defending borrow-and-spend and increasing the deficit, won't reach out to Tea Partiers and so on.
Or you get staffers who "support" something, and then switch sides later...
Attacking the messenger (The Hill or the columnist who wrote the piece) won’t do away with the fact that this is sadly taking place within the GOP.
Deal with the issue at hand...
The GOP is dead to me anyway. What with amnesty and colluding with democrats in Mississippi, so they wanna endorse faggotry now?
Go. Right. Ahead.
I smell another sellout.
If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. The RINO establishment has long since stopped standing for something.
Because thats exactly what we need, two DNC’s.
He probably would not react in the same fashion as your average Congressman:
"What's in it for me?"
The headline says it all. Congress critters get there marching orders from lobbiest not the people who elected them to office.
Is this what we have come to Wormtooth whispering in our leader’s ear?
If “any” two people can marry, what is the legal reasoning behind preventing three, or siblings from marrying?
I can support a legal recognition (like a civil union) for gays, but not full-fledged marriage.
Men and women are not the same, nor are their partnerships.
Really? Could have fooled me.
The libertarians are at war with conservatism, as is the GOPe, and of course the democrats and the left.
Within the GOP, the rinos and libertarians are realizing that they are really elements of the same wing and have a common enemy.
So if the republicans decide to cave in to the perversions of less than 2% of the population, solely to get cash and favors from K street, to the detriment of the people who voted for them and put them into office, what does that say about those republicans who are turned by it?
The GOPe is as amoral as the LibTards. I can’t say I am surprised, but I sure am disgusted.
Most of the voting public simply does not care. Otherwise, the blatant hypocrisy of all this would overwhelm them.
There is a spelling error in the headline. The last word has an "f" that shouldn't be there.
Public education.
Here in Minnesota, we’re working hard to oust a GOP member of the Legislature who voted for gay marriage.
She voted for it - after previously saying she supported one man-one woman marriages. Her name is Jenifer Loon and she represents a strong GOP district in the southwest suburbs of Minneapolis. The winner of this primary will more than likely be elected easily in November.
The candidate I’m backing is Sheila Kihne. Here is her website:
The primary is August 12th. If you could see your way to sending her some money, it would be much appreciated.
Her opponent has taken a lot of money from out of state pro-gay marriage Democrats
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court created an unwinnable situation for those that believe marriage is marriage. They adopted the far left language in their decision and opened the flood gates. If there had been a national backlash, we could still have an upperhand on the issue, but there was not. Even a lot of solid Republicans I know have basically dropped any major opposition. There does need to be a shift on this issue, even if not an outright cave. Simply saying ‘I believe in traditional marriage’ is an ineffective position. A candidate needs to provide something more substantive, even if they still hold the same views. Not the equivalent of ‘I’m personally pro-life, but not for making it illegal.’ It needs to be a discussion point...’I believe marriage is marriage, but I believe we do need to look at state laws to see how same sex couples are affected by the legal and economic sides of our current laws.” Essentially, adopt a civil-union option without calling it that.
They lost me years ago. They can shift all they want.
Anyone who will shift their stance so fluidly in the pursuit of support isn’t worth supporting.
My new tagline.
Just look at how many people are homosexual who work in .gov and media. If you want to 'change' the US, they have a method to their plans.
There are but two issues that keep me from officially lobbying against the Republican party as a viable way to help curb the leftist control of this country.
Abortion
&
The homosexual agenda of “Same Sex Marriage”
If they change the party platform to accommodate either one of these issues, and it doesn’t matter if they are right on the other issues, because they would be joining the left in their fight against God Himself.
Change on these issues and I will fight against the Republican party as vehemently as I do against the Democrat party, because in my mind they will in essence have removed the last reason they are not the Democrat party.
I am a Christian, and while I do stumbles and sin sin like all men, I do not justify my sine by claiming God supports evil.
Joining the left in supporting either of these issues, is tantamount to telling God that He is wrong.
