After Ken Mehlman made a public announcement of his homosexual lifestyle, the Republican Party will be idiotic to buy into his plea to undermine the institution of marriage. Marriage has been between a man and a woman for thousands of years. Just because Mr. Mehlman has becomes consumed with a sexual perversion is no reason to change the foundations of our culture. Mehlman and his fellow RINOs have one goal - to water down the Republican Party and satisfy their own narcissistic desires.

If the GOP decided to come out in favor of same-sex marriage, they would be committing political suicide. Those committed to Biblical Christianity would stay home on election day.

Conservatives need to be loud on this issue. The homosexual agenda is unacceptable.

No one in common American society supports this degeneracy. NO ONE. Why do we let a handful of morally defunct pockets of cancer in a few of our nation’s coastal cities dictate the structure of our society?

I believe they should go the route of supporting “civil unions”, where the gay folks can have all the same legal recognition/status as married people.

If the left and the fags reject it, they will appear ‘extreme’ to the mindless middle, and it would paint the left into a corner where they will be seen as extreme, and settling for nothing short of the destruction of traditional marriage. If the left accepts the idea of “civil unions”, then the issue goes away, and it will leave many in the gay wing pissed and the dems divided.

It would be a win/win.

Marriage is a word that describes a relationship between man and woman, it wasn’t a word that was seeking a definition.

Like abortion, this won't be a political decision, but a judicial decision. Since there's not ANYWHERE near the support for an Amendment, that's off the table.

Eventually, probably sooner rather than later, the Supremes will hear one of these cases, and it (homosexual marriage) will become the law of the land, again just like abortion. From then on, it will only be talked about during election season, and only in campaign fund-raising letters, political rallies and conventions - again, just like abortion.

Homosexual marriage does fail at the ballot box. But, it only fails at the ballot box because blacks and Latinos vote against it, pretty overwhelmingly. Unfortunately, those exact same blacks and Latinos ONLY vote for pro-homosexual politicians who nominate or confirm pro-homosexual judges and justices.

That's just the practical political reality. Eventual homosexual marriage in America is as predictable as death and taxes

I really don’t know why we Americans seem to now have the compulsion to turn religious and moral decision making authority over to politicians... the most despicable and amoral form of life on Earth.

Marriage is the province of religion; we need to keep it there.

What is the Democrat partys official position on this, and do the blacks and Hispanics know what it is?

Both lists. This goes way, way beyond a niche "homosexual agenda" issues. Not that the homosexual agenda doesn't spread out and grab almost everyone sooner or later. But to have the GOP cave in to the homosexual agenda in any way at all not only leaves actual conservatives with NO WHERE TO GO (any GOP officials reading this? You should!) but Is a - please read carefully - GUARANTEED LOSS!

Yes, my friends, a guaranteed losing proposition. If people want social liberalism, or liberal socialism, they know exactly which lever to pull. The "D".

If the GOP becomes merely "D-lite" they are lost, toast, history, ruined and desreve to be thrown into the garbage can of history.

This effort to push the homosexual agenda within the Republican party is the effort of "gay" activist infiltrators and most likely GOP-ers who have skeletons in their closets.

As most of us know, there are core issues and principles that true conservatives DO NOT compromise. This whole issue is one of them. You cannot change what people hold as deeply rooted principles, no matter how hard to try to force them to. The R’s would be wise to heed that.

Are there any current party leaders (besides Mehlman) trying to get the Republican party to accept gay marriage in its platform?

I'm not aware of any. If so...they need to STFU.

This is exactly 100% correct.

If the GOP can't take a strong stance on marriage being between one man and one woman, it is useless as a political party.

The second they do that, I'll be looking to join a third party.

I have left the Republican Party primarily over this issue and the issue of Rino betrayal.

Two days ago, I joined the Veterans Coalition of the Constitution Party. The few weaknesses I see in the CP are absolutely miniscule compared to the moral and patriotic equivocation I see on the part of the Republican Party.

For those interested in comparison, please go to: Constitution Party Page Including Links: Principles & Platform The link to the Veterans Coalition is on that page.

As always, I am a conservative independent, pledging support to any true conservative in any race. Pray, my friends.

Everyone knew he was gay before this, so why would “his appeal” change anything? He wasn’t even good at his job.
