The best thing the GOP could do would be to ignore gay marriage. Like it, ot not, its pretty much out of their control. When forced, candidates should say it’s a states’ issue

When forced, candidates should say it’s a states’ issue

So state amendments and measures can then be overturned by activist judges. No thanks. Stand for something, candidates. Stand for morality. You might be surprised at what people think.

I do not think that there are any such things as state’s issues any longer.

We are subjects of the beast.

“.....candidates should say it’s a states’ issue.”

But it’s not. Every state that’s voted on “gay marriage” has voted against it. It’s then taken to the courts where a judge decides any law against “gay marriage” is “unconstitutional.” Then the pressure is put on voters to say, OK, so “gay marriage” is all right after all.

Which state tells the federal government whether it allows gay marriage in the military, for the millions of federal employees and in immigration, and in international affairs and UN votes and foreign aid?

This is an issue that we need to know how every candidate will vote and fight for, at all levels of political office.

This is the “Embrace the Sodomy” thought process that many are looking to impose on what used to be the normal Judeo Christian ethic. This is nothing new, it is as old as Sodom and presages the destruction of a nation.

That enables candidates for federal office to side-step the issue. What do candidates for state office do? Say it's a federal issue?
