The Most Surprising Gay Marriage Poll We've Seen In A While [retread zot]

Everyone wants to know whether Jeb Bush can survive his support for Common Core and comprehensive immigration reform in today's Republican Party.

One deal-breaker that might surprise people, though: His opposition to gay marriage.

NBC News and Marist College are out with a batch of new 2016 primary polls. And as you might expect, Common Core, immigration reform, belief in man-made climate change and support for raising taxes on the wealthy are among those with the potential to alienate lots of conservatives.

But according to the polls, so does opposition to gay marriage--an issue on which Bush agrees with basically every other candidate.

The polls, in fact, show that about half of likely GOP caucus and primary voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina said they find opposition to gay marriage either "mostly" or "totally" unacceptable in a candidate....

A rather surprising hint as to how fast the social and political winds have shifted.

Or rather how easily a society can be brainwashed.

Hat tip to George Orwell.

Literally “everyone”? How does one write this crap?

Polls tend to be slanted, if not totally fake in order to push an agenda.

The homo forces control education, popular culture, and the media,and they have used this control to convince people that being gay is acceptable. So this isn’t surprising at all.

[skeeter]

Even Bush knows he can't be for Common Core, "comprehensive immigration reform" AND gay marriage and win even a single republican primary.

My guess is he'd do an Obama on this issue.

[darkangel82]

Jeb isn’t going anywhere but the poll is BS.

[trisham]

I don’t believe it.

[Darksheare]

Oh, and Romney was for all of that, illegal immigration, Obamacare, global warming propaganda, homomarriage, etc, and he lost.
Because he was indistinguishable from his opponent.

First thing I saw too.

His opposition to gay marriage.

LOL. $ure he'$ oppo$ed. He'll be oppo$ed until it'$ expedient for him not to be oppo$ed.

They convince the already deceived. Those who know the truth will not buy into perversion.

[trisham]

Yes.

[Darksheare]

Gee, I wonder...

"A rather surprising hint as to how fast the social and political winds have shifted."

Possibly, but this poll has a bad smell. Most recent polls have shown that about 50-53% of Americans support gay marriage, and for this poll to be accurate more than half of those people would need to be Republicans. I don't buy it. This sounds like a poll intended to keep conservatives from voting.

[Darksheare]

Tell me, are you for or against homosexual marriage?

I'm changing my mind on that last one. The wealthy are the ones benefitting from cheap labor and are pushing amnesty.
