This is really irrelevant as the original point was that Allen had not gotten on board with the idea of a federal marriage amendment. We know that when a liberal finds a law unpalatable, they merely go court shopping till they find a judge willing to overturn it. In light of this fact, there's really no excuse for a Republican nominee who claims to be a conservative to oppose a federal marriage amendment...unless of course he's going for that supermajority that all those log cabin Republican votes will give him (yeah, right). Allen has a wide libertarian streak that gets him in hot water with conservatives sometimes. I'm going to guess that's what happened here and he decided to take the conservative position as opposed to the libertarian one.
The important thing is he's with us now.

As far as I'm concerned having a wide libertarian streak is being conservative. Keeping the government small and off our backs ...unlike a segment of FR's who call themselves conservatives but in reality are obsessed with gays and abortion and care much less about spending and the obscene size of our government If Allen has a libertarian streak well good for him.
But I guess y'all will get his mind right. Why worry about the budget..the borders,,,articulating a conservative vision .....the WOT ....when there are queers out there.
