There was Sen. John McCain's daughter and his campaign manager who last week demanded that their fellow Republicans embrace same-sex marriageThis is very curious.
Being AGAINST same sex "marriage" is a majority position, a winning issue, everywhere (including California!) that it has been subjected to a vote.
How is moving to the losing side of an issue good advice for a party which is trying to GAIN rather than LOSE votes?

Well said.
It's the same as the "torture" issue. Most Americans, in every poll I've seen, believe "enhanced interogations" should be used against Muslim fanatics. But the media spins it the other way.

These strange creatures actually are unaware that the earth revolves around the sun, not around them.

How did a lame-brain twit being a daughter of a very unpopular RINO and loser mclame get any traction from Conservatives? I think not, only within the circle of RINOs, libdems and MSM trying to rescue their RINO friends.

A very good point you bring up. I’m thinking it’s the idea of “repeat a big enough lie often enough and it becomes the truth” idea applied, not to reality, but in the assumptions that are presented.

On top of that, the nation elected a president whose stated position is against gay marriage.
