I am with you. I am not a Ron Paul supporter, although I agree with him more than not. I do agree 100%, though. The party shenanigans at the convention basically told a whole group of potential Romney voters to screw off. Many did, and the result is an embarrassing loss. The party poobahs are either so arrogant, they thought they would win without Paul supporters and tepid tea party support, or they didn’t care about winning at all.

Do you want religion in charge or not, if you do, then that includes polygamy and gay marriage.

And since you can already do whatever you want in your religion in regards to marriage, why are your politics about forcing it to become the law, why not just do what you want, and leave the government out of it?

Is this how you guys keep conservatives at freerepublic tied up and try to stop political action towards a constitutional amendment protecting marriage, fighting ENDA, and fighting for DOMA, and electing pro-marriage, prolife, pro-God social conservatives?

Anyone who won't admit that there are elements of the GOP who are every bit as ruthless as the Dems in retaining power just hasn't been paying attention, and frankly, I am not sure the GOP can be fixed from within any more than I am sure the US Government can be.

I think that is becoming apparent and completely undeniable. The VA race should erase any doubt as we had Republican officials around the state go on tv supporting a scumbag McAullife and the national party mostly sit out.

The GOPe made the mistake of ignoring Governor Palin, not Ron Paul.

This is a lie. My "politics" aren't about forcing it to become law. The exact opposite. But, you know that. This is part of your little troll game.

Is this how you guys keep conservatives at freerepublic tied up...

No. This is how you troll libertarian threads to keep any meaningful discussion from occurring. You gotta protect your RINO/Nanny State/Bigger Government buddies after all.

Why can’t you answer that? People in America already marry without licenses, why can’t you? You don’t have to have a state sanctioned marriage.

Really. So... The law was changed when?

Oooh... That's right. It wasn't. You are just talking out your arse again.

So you want YOUR marriage to be recognized by the state, and government law.

That too. To beat an entrenched incumbent, it isn't 'either or' as far as I am concerned. They needed to do an all hands on deck and try to bring in every group to work together. They isolated Palin and conservative leaders. They shunned the Paul base. They changed the rules to both groups. It was a slow motion train-wreck as far I was concerned. I have never watched a convention and come out thinking 'meh' until last year. It was the ultimate over consultant-ized snooze fest. Even the McCain convention had some electric moments....Palin most of all. McCain even gave an inspired speech. in 2012, from the keynote to the governors to Rubio to Romney is was a bore.

No, you post random words and nonsense, and contradict yourself completely every few posts.

Mormon traditionalists marry within their religion according to their religious law, and ignore the state, and do not attain licenses from the government, why can’t you and others do that?

Um... Because you idiots have put laws in place that cause the police to come and arrest people who don't comply?

You really haven't been listening to yourself talk have you.

Where do the police arrest a man and woman, for living together, and claiming that they are married in the eyes of their religion?

Don’t be this stupid. It doesn’t even make you interesting as a troll.

If you aren’t lying or stupid, then justify your claim, where are couples being arrested?

Do you really think that we believe that you wanted a marriage license to avoid being arrested?

Moving the goal posts... You asked, I answered.

So yes, you are both lying and stupid.

Moving what goal posts, your ramblings and contradictions are impenetrable with reason, or any effort to find what your actual silly argument is.

You devote yourself to a childish fantasy of religion controlling marriage for everyone in America, yet even on that, you seem to vary from all religions in one post, to excluding the religions you don’t approve of, in another post, which is it?

You mock the idea of a legal definition of marriage, but then seem to argue for new marriage laws, or else you would just go your merry way and do the religious ceremonies that you go on about, just ignoring the government.

Now you want to pretend that you and others get a marriage license to avoid arrest, but can’t defend that bizarre claim.

Marriage is religious. Or do you deny that?

Where does it say in the Constitution, or the 1St Amendment, that government gets to define those marriages for us?

Point to just ONE post by me where I state a new law is required. Take your time...

Now you want to pretend that you and others get a marriage license to avoid arrest, but can’t defend that bizarre claim.

Didn't click the Google search link did you... Dumbass.

In America, under our constitution and freedoms, no marriage isn’t religious, we don’t even legally recognize Islamic polygamy for instance.

Even the federal government has been defining marriage for it’s requirements, since 1780, without interruption.

If you aren’t insisting that new marriage law be created, then just do what you want and leave the rest of us alone, have whatever religious ceremony that you desire, just leave the “law” out of it, you don’t need a license.

A Google link page? wow, that is really defending your pretending that you and others obtain a license to avoid arrest.
