STEALTH ASSAULT: Republicans are quietly strategizing to delete gay marriage from the party’s [tr]

Late last summer, with midterms consuming the attention of the political class, a group of GOP activists spent two days in Des Moines trying to convince their fellow Republicans that change was coming to their party. With eyes on 2016, they attended the Iowa State Fair, talked with newspaper editorial boards, and even ventured onto conservative talk radio. To cap it off, on the last evening, supporters gathered at 801 Chophouse, the upscale watering hole of the city's political elite, as if to announce their movement had gone mainstream. That it couldn't be dismissed as fringe any longer.

I think most insurance can pass via “domestic partnership” now.
But pensions can pass via marriage as can SSN and veteran benefits. If I marry a combat vet, I can get decent benefits for nursing home care which comes in handy now that LTC insurance is disappearing.

I mean in the future. How will the courts justify one man marrying another, but not men that are relatives? There is no threat of birth defects etc.

They can’t justify it just like they can’t avoid polygamy becoming legal.
Polygamy is already a factor on college campuses where foreign professors have multiple wives.

I think most insurance can pass via “domestic partnership” now.

Right after Georgia allowed 'domestic partnerships' and mandated that insurance be allowed for those partners, I toddled right into the HR office, and demanded my live-in girlfriend be covered under 'domestic partnership'.

The HR chick was like, "I don't think this is meant for that....I think this is meant for homosexual or lesbian couples...."

I responded, "Please point out in the legislation where the words "homosexual", "lesbian", "gay", or "same sex" is used. You won't find it. What you WILL find is the phrase "domestic partner". That's what my girlfriend is. Cover us or be sued."

My gal got her coverage.

Hmm..

If a person was separated from his wife and covering her insurance, I wonder if he could also cover his “domestic partner” as well.

Nothing legally stopping it.

I proved heteros can be covered under Domestic Partner laws.

I don’t get it either. The DOJ is going to come after us next in court to force us to start the gay marriages. Its sickening. Our state legislatures are overwhelmingly GOPe. That’s the problem up and including Nathan Deal who is the biggest Federal dollar Hoe I have ever seen.
