"Why do we worry so what 1% of the population does, wants, will vote for or anything else?"

Gay activists should embrace a Newt Gingrich candidacy... It marks conservatives completely giving up on the sanctity of marriage, loyalty, or one man to one woman. What should be an obvious, unquestionable anti-gay marriage counter-argument neutered in one short-sighted swoop.

Why is this news?

Its a replay of the 2008 media coverage. Anybody who votes for Obama is news. Anybody who is voting Republican, isnt.

Since obungler at least says he too is against gay marriage, I think this “woman’s” ability to reason is questionable at best. So all we really have is another fool voting for hussein. That’s news?
