Scott Walker: Gay Marriage Fight Is 'Over In Wisconsin'
Talking Points Memo ^ | October 6, 2014 | Caitlin MacNeal

Posted on 10/06/2014 9:16:54 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) conceded that the state of Wisconsin lost its fight to ban same sex marriage on Monday when the Supreme Court declined to hear gay marriage cases in multiple states.

With the Supreme Court's punt back to the appeals court that struck down the ban, county clerks in Wisconsin have started issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. And Walker seems to have accepted that this is the end of the road for the state's ban....

I’m almost to the point where I’m just not even going to bother voting anymore.

Excellent. You have reached the end point .... which happens to every self-righteous patriot sooner or later. Congrats.

We are a One-Party State, with the illusion of choice.

I just think that you can’t trust much said from the left. But I had to double check to see if there claims were true. UP to you what you want to post. I was chastised myself from posting from some real bad sources like PressTv and then I realized that the sites weren’t credible. But if you want people to figure out what the left is saying then go right ahead. I meant no harm, just can’t trust any progressive site.

Pedophilia is next. I spent sometime before sleeping arguing with the left and posting comments on The Daily Caller, Breitbart and Newsbusters as they are out in force on those conservative sites.

“The purity that posters demand out of candidates is beyond stupid.”

How about some examples of this ‘purity’ you’re referring to?

Maybe you could just answer the question.

The officers of the other branches are supposed to rein them in when they get out of line. That’s where the problem lies.
Actually, the problem is that "the officers of the other branches" have deliberately ceded their authority to the USSCOTUS to avoid being held accountable by their constituents.

Scott Walker is just following the example of the federal politicians.

Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.

The left never conceded, only the Stupid Party surrenders on issues. Do you think the left gave up on gun control or “Citizens United” after losses in the Supreme Court?

No, they redoubled their efforts.

Scott Walker is dead politically to me.

“Republican Court” is a misnomer big time

Not surrender to the left on every big issue is now “purity”?

I think it’s time to start referring to them as ‘alleged Republicans.’
