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

Reuters ^ | 7/8/15

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 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.

Only 63 percent?

[ZULU]

Right. Is THAT all??? God WILL punish this modern Sodom and Gomorrha.

[stars & stripes forever]

Only 63% and a small percentage actually votes.

[Fhios]

It's no big deal. Some prominent Christian Leaders should hear the calling of the obvious solution. Abandon the term marriage and have Church only ""

[hosepipe]

Ah!.. there you have it.. 1/3 of republicans are RINOs..
Don’t look good for 2016..

Not that the election would be fair and honest anyway..
Voter fraud I suspect will boggle republicans minds..
since they did literally nothing about it..

Which will encourage the democrats to get really really in your face about it..
Daring anybody to speak of it..

My idea is since “WE” know it will happen grossly and countrywide..
I promote VIDEOTAPING IT... by some really good republican videographers.. (IT WILL HAPPEN)..

you know.. like last time.. NO.. the last few times..

AND vetting the statistics by our statisticians..
Why NOT.. republicans have not a chance in HELL of winning..

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

Every state that got a chance to vote on the homosexual 'marriage' crap hated the idea. What people DO is more important than what they're intimidated into saying.
Also, an on line survey? Seriously? That's suppose to be the honest opinion of all Americans? Like all Americans just couldn't wait to take some stupid survey? Really?"

If the Republicans were smart (Yeah, I know. Wishful thinking) they'd fight this with all they have. The election would be sure thing. People are tired of being controlled by the lefts PC nonsense. Enough!
BTW - There's no such thing as homosexual tolerance. It's the propaganda lie of the century.

[Jim Robinson]

So FReep You to Jeb Bush, Rubio, Paul, Fiorina, Graham and all other libtard RINOS who refuse to stand up for the constitution, religious freedom, free speech, separation of powers, states rights and against judicial tyranny!! Double for those who also refuse to secure the borders!!

[WENDLE]

It is legally simple. We must amend the constitution. It is really clear . But the leadership of that movement is all consuming and no current leader is willing to sacrifice their political position for this massive effort. I do believe there are hundreds on millions , if not Billions to engage on a constitutional effort, I personally suggest Herman Cain. Herman , you won’t believe the power of this movement. Please consider sir. I will be glad to assist sir. We are legions.

[make no mistake]

Personally, I am so depressed about this ruling. It is causing a civil war in my family and some friends.

[TChad]

This is push polling reported as though it was legitimate.

Try these polls instead:

Ask the public if it supports bakers, wedding photographers, and others being ruined financially unless they violate their own religions.

Ask the public if it believes that American citizens should have been allowed to vote on homosexual marriage, rather than having it shoved down their throats by the Supreme Court, in contempt of the Constitution. Even people who like steak dislike having it shoved down their throats.

Ask the public if it supports imposition of huge new property taxes and other taxes to bankrupt churches that refuse to perform homosexual marriages.

There is a lot more to the current version of "gay marriage" than just "civil unions" under a new name. It is typically dishonest of Reuters to pretend otherwise.

[make no mistake]

Just want to clarify, I am against gay marriage. I am just angry at the people I know and love, who say they are Christian, think this was a great ruling.

[Linda Frances]

The only republicans I know that are okay with homosexual marriage are catholics. I was a catholic and remember what was talked about in the churches I attended. They didn’t talk about abortion, premarital sex, and homosexuality......maybe had they, things would be different. I’m sure there are other churches don’t talk about these things, but I can only go by my experience. I sure hope they are teaching Gods word now.

[Yosemitest]

Do NOT comply !


TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written:

“ For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,
even the SOULS that commit them
SHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people. ”

Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.

It was given by our Heavenly Father to test us
to see ... if we will OBEY our Heavenly Father,
and abide by His commandments, statues, and ordinances.

Someone once asked

"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"

The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE".

rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]

1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.


Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.




2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.

They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.

3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.

And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

[VerySadAmerican]

Just like McCain wouldn’t say the name “Hussein”, the republican nominee will never mention gay marriage in the campaign and it won’t be in the republican platform.

[keats5]

We’re not going to amend any Constitution with only 63% of Republicans who believe in traditional values.

[keats5]

Yeah, I hear you. I take some solace that most of my own kids espouse conservative values, but they are swimming upstream and are so discouraged with the culture they don’t even want to engage in political discussion. If it’s hard for we conservative adults, think what the young conservatives are going through.

One of my adult kids is in ministry. The other’s a photographer. My heart aches for their future.

[make no mistake]

” it won’t be in the republican platform.”

It better be!! or else I will leave the party.

[WENDLE]

I say — let’s don’t give up on manufactured statistics. Let’s get off our collective butts and do something or we are going to the gas chambers!!

[Theodore R.]

A very small and insignificant number even if it is a majority of a minority

[evangmlw]

One plus God equals a vast majority my friends.
