As long as the gutless “Republicans” let the lefties run the agenda, I guess it might.
Actually, just say yes and throw other issues back at them.
Only for the Low Information Voters.
Who seem to make up about 55% of the electorate these days.
Well, you do need a class of proles so that when true socialism arrives a ready supply of slave labor will be available.
A candidate’s views on homosexuality and abortion are the sole criteria I use for whether I’ll vote for them. If they support those abominations, I won’t support them.
Our nation is already under God’s judgment, with His wrath falling on us, turning our formerly obedient and prosperous nation into a bankrupt nation because of our disobedience. Continuing to poke God with a sharp stick by supporting behaviors He abhors is NOT the way to get back into His good graces. That’s how His wrath will just keep falling on us.
So supporting any candidate that supports depravity isn’t the way out of God’s wrath. In that regard, in the only way that matters, voting for a Repub who supports depravity is no different than voting for a Dimmo who supports depravity. Both will result in continued Divine wrath. A depraved Repub and a depraved Dimmo are indistinguishable.
There’s also the whole conscience thing, that by voting for a candidate, you’re voting for every position that candidate has espoused. Voting for a candidate that supports depravity means that I support depravity too. So I can’t do that.
It’s a secular Humanist religious test.
My reply would be; “well, I’m not in the habit of crashing weddings, but once I got America’s economy back on trac, repealed obamacare, and worked correcting the straightening out obamas foreign policy mess, and it was someone I knew, I might!”
Then I’d ask the reporter, “how many gay weddings has Obama attended as President?”
Is my take on social events what you invited me here to answer, or, don’t you care about the problems we have today?
By the way, that same answer also applies to weddings between a man and woman.
What I want to know is why this gay couple would invite someone who is in favor of banning contraception to their wedding in the first place!
I don’t want mesothelioma so I’m not putting on anything flameproof. But Religious FReepers, yer doin it wrong.
Cruz is the one with the correct answer.
In the Bible / Torah, as far as I know, and I am no expert, murder is the unforgivable sin, and gossip is worse than murder. The rest are just All Bad Sins. The big 10 get some command billing.
You all go to weddings of gossipers. Leave the gay thing out of presidential politics because it’s not a Presidential duty.
It is my belief that many religious people rank sins in hierarchy due to their own personal yuck factor. If you are Christians, remember that Jesus did not. He hung with lepers and whores.
No one will get nominated if they appear by the mainstream to be prejudiced against gays. Period. No one. Gays may be sinning but so is everyone else.
I would attend a gay wedding.
I would also attend a wedding where one of the people involved had been divorced and NOT gotten a “proper’ annulment from their Catholic bishop....
On principle I do not back the concept of gay marriage - and, because I’m not Catholic - I’m not concerned about ‘proper annulments’...
Yes!
If you don’t have the courage to stand up and say “NO!” then you don’t deserve my support.
It is NOT “hate” to decline to participate in a pretend marriage.
By attending a gay wedding do you mean the ceremony or the party afterwards?
The last election hung on free birth control pills, so what the hell?
It did?
You can say that again
There’s a term someone used on a thread a month or two back, “social” something or other I think, that refers to a position on an issue that most people don’t really care about, but which they use to determine whether a person is an a*****e or not.
People don’t like a*****es, and won’t vote for them.
It’s the same reason why the whole global warming denier label is being used, despite voters never placing it near the top of what issues they care about. It’s basically a shortcut to driving voter behavior without having to focus on substantive issues that work against you.
I certainly wouldn’t think much of a candidate who says he doesn’t believe in homo-marriage, but then goes to a homosex wedding or reception. Reminds me of some of those Dem politicians in the Northeast who would always say they were personally against abortion (due to their Catholic faith or whatever), but then constantly support abortion in every vote and political action they took.
One of the prime reasons Romney was the first GOP candidate in my entire voting life to ‘not’ get my vote was due to his facilitation of homo-marriage in his own state. Any candidate wobbly on this issue will receive similar response from me.
