COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The chairman of the Ohio Republican Party says the state GOP will continue to stand behind U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, who has announced his support of gay marriage.

Chairman Bob Bennett acknowledged Friday that there would be Republicans who will disagree with Portman's decision. But Bennett said he respects the senator's right to make up his own mind.

Asked whether Portman's announcement would change the level of financial support or help from the state Republican Party, Bennett said, "Absolutely not."

Not that we didn't know this already, but if the GOP still supports Portman after this flip-flop, we are doomed. I wish there were more conservatives in the political arena anymore, but there are just so few.

Honorable men stand along side one another.

That’s it, go ahead and make law to force the increasing penetration of homosexuality upon those not interested.

Notice he doesn’t say he respects your right to disagree

So if Portman's daughter had an abortion, would he also become pro-abortion?

He was never a conservative and he proves that snakes come in both flavors, republican and democrat....

Will he let his constituency know when it happens that one man’s penis fits into another man’s rectum? Then we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

He can make up his own mind?? He represents thousands and thousands voted for him because he believed in a real marriage between male and female.

So which stand is the lie??

If these homosexuals would sit on their butt and keep their mouth shut, none of this would be a problem.

Pretty obviously the leidership of the Ohio Republican party has no idea why people don't show up to vote for Republicans.

They've got to get over this 'gay's are cute' strategy ~ the second the American people detect waffling on the gay issue ~ letting them run for office ~ letting them run some other guy for office ~ taking political party offices ~ making policy ~ speaking for the top candidates ~ they don't bother voting for Republicans.

The idiots in Ohio appear to have forgotten 2006.

As if McCain wasn’t already singlehandedly destroying the Party.

Mitt Romney, 2012 GOP nominee and the governor who gave us “gay marriage” and who was running pro-choice ads there just before the election, lost Ohio.

The GOP seems to have a new agenda regardless of the consequences.

If Republicans behave like Democrats, why do we need two parties? Seems the Republican Party is no longer happy with being the Dems ‘Washington Generals’ . They want ‘market share’ of the vote.
Et tu, Bennet? And on the Ides of March!
