>>Gay marriage is toothpaste that is never going back into the tube.

Oh it’ll go into the tube, the sewer tube — right along with the culture of self-worshiping progressive Useful Idiot American-Idolacizers who “normalized” it.

Got Romans 1:25+?

Nature rules.

Introducing a new statute (the State Marriage Defense Act)
is changing the law, in the abstract. I’ll admit it isn’t quite the same thing as amending an existing statute.

But my point stands - what would stop the courts from declaring this one unconstitutional also??

The majority of the voters are obviously against gay marriage, as it keeps failing in referendums. People may say one thing to friends and family on the issue, or even to pollsters, since there is such fear of the backlash and “bigot” label. Yet, when they get in the voting booth, Americans keep showing that they haven’t really changed their opinions on the issue very much, and they are the ones that Cruz needs to appeal to, not the media.

Actually, that's not true.

We've lost the last four public votes in a row. And the ones we won before that we won by slimmer margins than just a few years earlier.

It's easy (and comforting) to dismiss polls, but some are uncannily accurate. We ignore them at our peril. And looking at the trends, one can't seriously deny that we've lost the country as a whole. We have to admit that before we can ever hope to change it.

It’s really about sodomy, not love, not procreation, but sodomy.

RE:”Oy. This will doom his already 3% polling. Of all the issues to go big stick on. Gay marriage is toothpaste that is never going back into the tube. How I wish he could be perceived by a wider audience as right for the country. This cements him in front of the palinization wood chipper. Wish I could be wrong.”

If Cruz gets this through the Senate and House and past Obama into law then he is the clear winner.

I haven't seen that yet. But if he gets results on this I am with him 100%.
