So, is the Republican plank going to have a statement that “Marriage is Defined as a Union between a Man and a Woman”?

They'd better! Both parties would be considered perverted and disgusting if they didn't. Romney has said he believes in natural human marriage, so I think the country is safe on that issue.

Homo tolerance does not exist. It's nothing but a well planned thought control campaign. They forgot about one thing, though. Forcing someone to think and act contrary to their conscience never ends well for the enforcers.

It's almost as if the democrats are trying to help the Republicans win this one. They're destroying the culture, economy, the military, and the government right in front of every ones eyes. It's hard to believe they think Americans will love them for it.

Dems insist on homosexual marriage even though they know that the public is against it.

“Gay” and “weggie” should not be used in the same sentence!

The Democratic National Committee made headlines this week with the announcement that for the first time, it is moving to include a plank supporting same-sex marriage in the party’s convention platform.

8-10 percent unemployment under a Democrat President
First time ever America loses its AAA credit rating -under a Democrat President.
Record numbers of Americans are on food stamp programs. Under a Democrat President
In 3.5 years a Democrat President has presided over a Debt equal to more then every other President combined.
And what is the Democrat Party working on? Making homosexual marriage a part of their Convention Platform.

Maybe they have no choice. Oboma has been soooo bad for this country, they're going to use a Hail Mary pass.

For some reason, they're risking their own demise over this. They must be really, really, desperate. The prevs are less than 1% (because prison inmates who are felons can't vote) of the vote. They're handing the other 98% of the vote over to Republicans on a silver platter.

For Democrats these days gay marriage is far more important than heterosexual "normal" marriage.

The reason for that is....................

Anything to distract from the economy.

What you don’t understand is that many have “gay” relatives, nieces, cousins, etc. Many others want to be seen as “tolerant.” Few things have gained the popularity of the gay movement in the past forty years. Many are too uninformed to see.

All RINO Florida House District 120 Candidates square off at forum

Republican pledges support for medical marijuana, reproductive choice

The two candidates vying for the Florida House District 120 seat took turns Monday night espousing support for gay rights, including the right to marry and adopt babies.

The honorable black and hispanic communities will be thinking very seriously about leaving. Most working blacks I know have conservative views and just might lie about voting Demorat. If the rats add homosexuality plank the black ministers will finally wise up.

The homophilic Left has injected this wedge, it’s unavoidable.

And yet Romney utters nary a peep.

Definitely Office Depot (supporting Lady Gaga’s perverted foundation) and Penney’s (same sex couples portrayed in family settings as “parents” in their ads).

“And yet Romney utters nary a peep.”

I’d say Romney is in a difficult position, given his comments that he supports gay adoption (which by inference must lead to support for same sex marriage, unless you want adopted kids having unmarried parents) and his past support of gay issues.

IMO these media attacks against Chick-Fil-A —and now that Cake Baker in Lakewood are the typical probing attacks. Time to keep the guns up-and the eyes open wide.And not run down every bloody rabbit trail. Remember the enemy declared they had defeated us back in Sept.1987 -Warning to the Homophobes—by Steve Warren ,Act UP p.29 The Advocate. And since then the Court has ceded Romer v. Evans ,Lawrence v. Texas-and how many similar cases? Are we not rushing down the same broad path that Edward Gibbon spoke of in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire published during our Founding? Does not Toynbee sound a bit of a prophet we beat up and robbed for his warning to America during the 60’s? And what of those 10 Warning signs of a Nation in Decline Jim Nelson Black spoke of prior to 2000? common to all decline was the national suicide of State recognition and protection of homosexual behavior.

Romney has said he believes in natural human marriage

And six wives is more natural than one.

Be careful quoting what "Romney has said". Virtually any point of view, including strong support for homo marriage and abortion, can be found in past Romney statements. Version 2012 isn't representative of his past and may not be representative of his future.

Gay Marriage has lost at the ballot box every single time it has come up for a vote, including in liberal states. This is a HUGE mistake for the Dems.

I’m hoping that trend continues in my state, Washington, this November, but it’s going to be close. As you may know, Gates and Bozos have given millions to the homo marriage promoters. Here the voter sentiments line up pretty cleanly along geographic boundaries (western WA: godless secular liberals vs. eastern WA: bitter clingers living in flyover country.
