Same-sex marriage gains GOP support

The Washington Post ^ | August 27, 2010 | Sandhya Somashekhar

A growing number of Republicans are breaking with the party's traditional stance to publicly state their support for same-sex marriage, a shift strategists say stems as much from demographics as from the renewed focus on economics and the "tea party" movement.

A solid majority of adults younger than 30 - about six in 10 - support the right of gay and lesbian couples to legally wed, according to a Washington Post poll in February.

But even many older Americans and self-identified social conservatives have changed their view on an issue that just six years ago galvanized voters in support of President George W. Bush's reelection.

Gay Republican activists credit the shift to the heightened attention within the GOP base to jobs and the economy, and by a desire among strategists to expand the party's appeal.

Remember that this is a WaPo spin article. The NYTimes had a similar one. The JournOlistas live. And they still conspire and lie.

[little jeremiah]

The WaPo and NYSlimes are trying to convince Republicans that “other” Republicans are for perversion.

It’s a tactic, a lie, and the only chance they have to not lose bigtime in Nov.

We need to kick Repub elitists to the curb. There are WAY more of us than them.

It’s a Hindu name, not Muslim.

A number of Hindus in the US are leftists, just like rainbow sash wearing “Catholics”. HINO.

Her hero is Joe Goebbels, but she would be wise to remember how he ended up.

[little jeremiah]

The leftist will not win the “gay” marriage battle. Nope, no way. Not gonna happen.

Read my tagline.

[little jeremiah]

Exactly, this tactic is being used on FR already.

“It’s inevitable, just accept it.”

The intent is to demoralize the opposition.

Here is one thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2578285/posts?page=103#103

Some may be familiar with the main perp on that thread, he also haunts a few other issues such as homosexuals in the military and 0thugga’s eligibility threads. Always on the wrong side...

[little jeremiah]

They think an army of straw men wins a war.

Post of the day!

[little jeremiah]

Yeah, who did they ask, how did they get the people, how many did they ask, what were the questions, etc.

Polls are practically worthless (especially from leftist outfits) without knowing all the above details.

[little jeremiah]

Plus, people change as they grow older. I know I have, radically!

[little jeremiah]

Thanks for being in the “it’s inevitable so get used to it and btw don’t bother fighting for principles, it’s a kind of social evolution anyway” crowd of people who want to ruin the morale of conservatives.

There are a lot of defeatists. What’s the deal? The electorate is awake, angry and fired up. So why are these “people” whining “It’s hopeless”?

[longtermmemmory]

this is a search engine hit article.

The goal is to create static which shows up during searches.

When someone searches GOP and homosexual marriage THIS will be the article that pops up.

It is like google playing games to try and distort directions to the lincoln memorial.

[DJ MacWoW]

I was referring to posters. There are a lot of “Surrender Monkey Posters” on these threads. And they aren’t all new sign ups.

[longtermmemmory]

we have many “aged troll accounts” there was even another site that claimed they could list any join date in their account. (a long while ago)

Age of accounts is not dispositive on not being a troll. John McCain supports homosexual marriage and he has been an alleged R for decades.

[little jeremiah]

Tokyo Rose.

[little jeremiah]

A while ago one poster said that he had been offered a goodly sum of money for his screen name and pw.

[DJ MacWoW]

McCain says what is expedient.

Trolls eventually get caught. They can't stop themselves from spewing stupidity.

[DJ MacWoW]

Tokyo Rose.

LOTS of them!

[DJ MacWoW]

I remember reading that on another thread. It means FR is effective. :-D

[little jeremiah]

Only more like “Tokyo Poison Oak”.

heheh
