There is nothing Scott Walker could do which would make liberals hate him any more after they got smashed in the 2012 recall election. Meanwhile, refusing to take a stance on one of the most important positions will irritate conservatives in the state, and rightfully so. We already have wusses in the US House and Senate, Wisconsin doesn’t need a wuss in the governor’s seat.
I think he needs to define himself somehow on this issue.
I would say I believe in marriage being between a man and a woman but I would also say that changing marriage definitions is just the beginning.
The proponents of gay marriage are demonizing those opposing gay marriage (as Justice Scalia noted in his dissent on last year’s DOMA case) and are already silencing them using boycott tactics and labeling them “bigots” to shut down their business operations or causing them to lose their jobs.
This isn’t ultimately about the definition of marriage, it is an ever increasing and never ending attack on the Constitution designed to deny First Amendment rights of free speech and religion to Americans who disapprove of homosexuality and or gay marriage.
