Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, is making good on his vow to support gay GOP candidates in the name of inclusivity this week when he is expected to stump for openly gay Republican candidates Carl Demaio of California and Richard Tisei in Massachusetts.
A report in The Hill says Boehner is expected to raise cash for both candidates despite opposition from conservative groups such as the Family Research Council in a bid to expand the 17-seat majority of Republicans in Congress.
The Hill noted that Family Research Council and the National Organization for Marriage were among conservative organizations who sent a letter to Boehner, National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Greg Walden (Ore.) and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) protesting the support for DeMaio, Tisei, and Senate hopeful Monica Wehby of Oregon who is a supporter of abortion and gay marriage.
"Carl DeMaio, Richard Tisei and Monica Wehby are antithetical to the Republican platform," the group of conservatives reportedly wrote. "Mr. DeMaio supports and aggressively advocates for the redefinition of marriage, and welcomed the judicial activism of the federal courts which stripped the people of California of their votes in support of maintaining marriage as the union of one man and one woman."
In a telephone interview with The Hill, DeMaio said he was "disappointed" with the "extreme far right" groups.
"I'm disappointed but not terribly surprised that some extreme far right groups would rather lose elections than win elections, and have been very destructive for so many years within the Republican Party," said DeMaio.
"I'm glad so many people are finally realizing that and standing up to that, saying we may not agree on all issues but we agree on the vast majority of issues," he noted.

ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS HOMOSEXUALS IS ANTI CHRIST !
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For
it is written:
For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,even the SOULS that commit themSHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people.
Those who support homosexuals are
against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have
NO sympathy for homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a
"Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"
The answer is in the definition of "
REPROBATE".
rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]
- 1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.
-
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.
- 2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.
-
They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.
- 3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.
And the reason
"why" is
given in the Bible.
God has
a cure for homosexuals.
But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?
"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

This what comes of the mischief ‘RATS make in open, top-two primaries. There were other, better ‘Pub candidates on the primary ballot, but only the 2 highest vote-getters, regardless of party, move on to the general. If we still had closed, party-only primaries, good chance a homosexual GOPe’r would not have made it. Ribbit.

And this is why I can’t vote for the depraved ‘Pubs anymore. There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between them and the dimmos.

Yeah, redefining the institution of marriage isn't at all "extreme". Only the people who oppose such re-definition are extreme.
Exactly when, as a country, did we go down the rabbit hole?

In the US, Rs and Ds are all there is. That being so, I’m just about through with politics. This country won’t be turned around through the vote. I don’t know that it will be turned around at all. It got to this point before the deck was so deeply stacked against us, and now that the leftists and God-haters are entrenched, it can only get worse. The last days had to come some time, I believe that they’re here now. Thank God I won’t be here for the worst seven years of it.

Old habits die hard-I can’t seem to stop myself from keeping up with politics/current events, but I can go for longer and longer periods without getting emotionally involved, just an observer. More for being aware than for thinking that anything will change, unless for the worse. I’m at the “lift up thine eyes, thy redemption draweth near” stage.

Don't count on it.
Those years may be CLOSER than you think.
DemocRATs are SEALING ELECTIONS BEFORE we vote !
Here's a
MUST WATCH VIDEO about STEALING ELECTIONS ! Make sure you tell ALL your acquaintances to watch it, and watch it RIGHT NOW !
HBO Hacking Democracy The Pima County Way, Card Reader and RTA Election. ( 16:30 )
By AUDITAZ Uploaded on Apr 24, 2011
In the RTA election of May 16, 2006 more than 100 optical scanners failed on Election Day at various precincts.
Election day I was out inspecting precincts and once I found that a large number of optical scanners were failing to work at the precincts.
I called Rep. Ted Downing, (Chair of State Party Election Integrity committee) also (at that time) the Chair of our county party "Donna Branch-G".
Both went to the election department to see what the problem was
and that is when they found the Microsoft -Access manual open right next to the central tabulator.
Donna and Ted took pictures of this.
Both were told that they had no oversight rights becausethis was a nonpartisan election
thus stopping us from actually finding outif MS-access was on the system
and if the central tabulator networked to other computers in the office.
By the time we got to check the computer several months later the program was gone.
However, we did find MS-Access on the Maricopa Election Department and that system count 58% of the vote state wide.
The Diebold-GEMS software is built on MS-Access program.
It is illegal by state law to have software that has not been approved and or certified by the SOS office such as MS- Access.
This is becauseMS Access easily backdoors the database
and one could change anything they want by passing the GEMS Audit log.
To make it worsethe normal backup which was always done EVERY election night and/or major event was not until the following Friday at 5:01pm.
Additional Facts:In the case of the RTA, the election department after processing 13,000 early ballots 6 days out,went in early the next morningand did a backup over that databasedestroying that file called "early ballots day 1"
and replaced it with a new day 1 backup,then illegally printed (5 days before the election) 2 election summary reports 10 minutes apart.
These reports by law are not supposed to be printed until one hour after the polls close.
Such a process took many computer moves that could never be a simple "slip of the finger".
Fact: Even though Brian Crane told the Judge Millerthis was a normal practice,
examination of the computer logs showed this had only been done one other time since 2000.
In actuality, Bryan Crane did backups at lunchand before he went home at night.
