Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said Sunday he believes it’s “inevitable” that there will someday be a GOP presidential candidate who supports same-sex marriage, and that he could back such a candidate, even as he opposes gay marriage.

And said candidate would get trounced.

“...GOP presidential candidate who supports same-sex marriage...”

He may be a candidate, but he will never be a president....

Past time to be moving to form a viable third party. Did they really think that nominating a former liberal governor of Taxachusetts as the standard-bearer of the conservative party was a good idea?

I blame some people...and Mr. Flake (good name) is among them...also Ann Coulter, Karl Rove, and Sean Hannity...what the heck did they think they were doing? Just where do they want to take the GOP??? Democrat lite? Do they want to lose the Christian base forever???

Agreed.

Last time, even though I supported Romney I knew he had an uphill battle, mainly because he supported gays.

We need to move away, not toward, from supporting gays.

Even if it means a new party. What say you Palin?

The GOP fundraisers called me this weekend. I told them I was never going to financially support them again after Reince Prebuis publicly stated that we should not view the practice of homosexuality in “Old Testiment” terms. As if the New Testiment somehow says something different.

Yes, the next GOP-e candidate may support homosexual marriage, but I will never vote for that person — ever.

My letter to the gop

Does the gop think they can win anything without the conservative base? Many held our nose and voted for romney, only because he “claimed” to have our same values. We saw the lying, cheating and stealing of the primary, but we did not want obama.

Portman, Flake, Murkowski, Mehlman, Rove...... If you think conservatives will accept this, you are wrong. You will NEVER get our votes. We don’t care if obama is running for an illegal third term.

Conservatives apparently mean nothing to you. You will not USE us for our vote and then dismiss us like you have been doing. We will go third party or stay at home.

If that’s “inevitable,” it’s also quite inevitable that I’ll no longer be voting GOP.

Pribus’ predicessor was a homosexual.

makes it questionable about Pribus.

Washington DC needs a major cleaning from the infestation of fetishists.
