Over 60 percent of Republicans oppose court on gay marriage: Reuters/Ipsos poll

"Almost two-thirds of Republicans oppose the Supreme Court’s backing of gay marriage, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, which gives hope for conservative presidential candidates who have come out strongly against marriage equality.

Republicans would struggle to make opposition to same-sex marriage a winning issue in next November’s general election because more than half [55% per same survey] of Americans support it, according to the online survey.

But there is still a clear majority of Republicans - 63 percent - who think the court’s historic decision last month to legalize gay marriage nationwide was wrong.

That could give a boost to gay marriage opponents like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in the fight for the Republican nomination.

Walker, whose is widely expected to declare his candidacy next week, described the Supreme Court ruling as a "grave mistake," and has called for a constitutional amendment to allow states to decide whether to allow gay marriage...."

And there you have part of the explanation for RINOs. RINOs are the ones who get funding from rich “Republicans”.

What religion is Daniel Leob? See for yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_S._Loeb

Why is it that so many Jewish people see nothing wrong with gay marriage, or being gay itself? I don’t understand it.

I noticed this trend to extreme liberalism when the ACLU was first organized years ago.

What is it with all these billionaires and same sex marriage? Not even all homosexuals agree on that.

If Loeb doesn’t like Walker, he’s gonna hate Cruz.

Standing with principles will cost; changing your mind on principles will cost more.

I’m sure the pressure was great to change... Good on Walker!

There is no “Business” or “Insider” from Business Insider.

They are a pro-homosexual, leftist rag sheet. Why do people keep posting junk articles from that queer website.

One of Wall Street's most political billionaires just passed on Scott Walker

Liberal Social issue of today. Abolition was the Liberal social issue of the 1800s. Lincoln got quite a lot of support from these Wealthy New Yorkers because he agreed with their Liberal social policies. The Democrat party of that time split over this social issue and thereby handed Lincoln a divided opposition.

Dan Loeb and other spoiled greedhead cheerleaders for the Sodom and Gomorrah perversion posing as “marriage” should take their money and put it where the sun shineth not. AND, if his money and that of others like him goes to Jebbie, actual Republicans should react accordingly and refuse their votes to Jebbie on that basis alone, as well as on immigration, Common Core and a lengthening list of other issues. If Dan Loeb wants to be active politically with his mountain of money influence, let him go Demonrat, the party of Sodom and Gomorrah.

It must be understood that most of the extremely wealthy GOP donors are really globalists who are about as conservative as Jimmy Carter. They crave power for themselves, not freedom for Americans.

LGBT couples cannot procreate; therefore there is no such thing as "marriage equality."

“I tend to be more Republican in my views, but socially very liberal. I’m going to have trouble with any Republican that does not disavow a fixation with social issues,”

Translation - I like to whore around (maybe dilly little kids) and do not want anyone emptying my closet, so I say everything is allowed so they leave me alone.

That's interesting. Scott Walker's record speaks again.

In 2013, Loeb was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court in Hollingsworth v. Perry, in support of same-sex marriage.[45][46][47][48]
