Last Thursday, in a sign that the GOP is recalibrating its image after 2012, 100 prominent Republicans (many of whom are no longer serving in office) signed a friend-of-the-court brief seeking to overturn California’s Proposition 8, which effectively banned same-sex marriage in the state shortly after it became legal. The brief states the opinion that marriage is a constitutional right for gay couples—a position that goes beyond even President Obama’s stance on marriage equality.
One of the signers, former communications chief for George W. Bush and senior advisor for the McCain–Palin campaign Nicolle Wallace, joined Morning Joe Monday morning to share why she supports the GOP’s effort for marriage equality.
President Obama also filed a similar brief on Thursday, marking the first time a president has asked the Supreme Court to allow gay couples to marry. Obama stopped short of calling marriage equality a constitutional right....

I have never seen an issue take such a 180 degree turn in a 12 month period. A year ago, this issue was political suicide. No state had every approved gay marriage, and only through court manipulation was it even an issue. NC became yet another state to resoundingly confirm marriage as man and woman, and then days later Obama made the big dither away from his previous position.
Crazy times we live in.

The depraved (GOP) want to embrace the depraved. There’s an easier way. A flying leap off the Golden Gate.
In some ways it reminds me of,the collapse of the USSR when all the republics broke away. It seemed like almost every day there would be one more to,break away and the pace quickened by the day.
I would not be surprised to wake up in the morning and read that Dick Cheney and Clint Eastwood support gay marriage.
It is done! Leave it alone!
Promoting what the Almighty abhors is a serious collision course up ahead. That’s one doomed train we would rather not ride to destination end.
What a dumbass thing to say. Of course she’s a McCain RINO so that is to be expected.
Just wait. They’ll force the boy scouts to have gays, and then a homosexual child rapist/murderer will be caught operating as a scout leader.
Oh, yeah, Nicole Wallace, the hag who torpedoed Sarah Palin in the election of 2008. Is anyone surprised she’s a liberal?
Then, the whole group gets shut down, and the secularists, Christian Haters , gays, and feminNazis finally get their way.
Again
There is no end to these distractions.
Revalations
When there’s no difference in Democrat and Republican; then what’s the use? Most people will take the real thing over the carbon copy every time. - The government has its finger in EVERYTHING.
The Republican party nominated a man who had run against Ted Kennedy, proclaiming that he was more able to deliver the homosexual agenda than Ted, the man who became the Governor who allowed gay marriage, and who in the 2012 election repeated his support for homosexualizing the military and the Boy Scouts, positions that he had held at least since 1994.
Mitt Romney, and the party’s acceptance of him, has had an effect not only on the GOP but on the nation.
Things that republicans could claim to be just a few years ago, or even one year ago, can’t be claimed today.
Nicolle Wallace-—spit!
Crazy times we live in.
***The end times.
My suggestion is to look through the taglines on each thread to determine the sheep and the goats.
If this gets rid of the GOP then I am for it.
