Bernard seems to not know if he’s Goldberg or Sanders today.

I’ve also been informed that I’m more accepting of gay marriage. LOL

All according to a leftist / liberal press and poll taker. No surprise. At all.

Americans will believe whatever point of view offers the most convincing argument.

Right now they're hearing only one side.

And when did Gallup last have any credibility?

"Barack Obama’s coalition consisted of blacks, Latinos, single women, union members, academics..."

What about transgender and homsexuals? How could he leave them off the list. Isn't that about 20% of the population these days? /sarc.

Yup! They DO like their tattoos and facial hardware. :)

Going out to eat, if the waiter/waitress has tattoos and facial hardware... they minimize their tip.

That’s just how I feel about it.

The RATS have used Todd Akin’s idiotic attempts to prove himself smart over and over..they will continue to do so because it works for them and against conservatives.

Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.

They’ve become equally liberal on economics, I fear.

This summer, ABC Family will premiere Becoming Us, an unscripted show that chronicles the life of 17-year-old Ben Lehwald of Evanston, Illinois, as his father Charlie transitions to become Carly.

Thanks, but No Thanks !

God is about to do His polling. The dead souls left after that polling can have the hell they’ve created. It is their due ...

The issue is framing of the issues. Bernie does not understand that most people are not educated enough to answer questions the way they were framed 10 - 20 years ago. If you ask someone, should gay people be allow to marry, the answer is yes. If you ask, should Churches be force to marry gay people, the answer is no.

Same for economics. Ask young people if they approve of socialism the answer is yes. This is because socialism sounds so good- being social. But ask if the government should pick winners and loser is the market- the answer is no.

Conclusion: Republicans have a problem.

Yes, they most certainly do. But it isn't the promulgation by media that 'Americans' by and large endorse buggery and all manner of perversion. Rather it is the intimidation of the disbelievers that have prompted them to retreat with their opinions to the ballot.

Those establishment Republicans like Jeb Bush and Graham who believe their mercenary consultants and CoC and crony business will find out soon. Mitt purportedly lost because conservatives stayed out by the millions. What is coming for them, if Jeb succeeds in betraying all of us and out maneuvering conservatives to win the nomination, is very real and they will find out. We don't vote for him or any other RINO, period.

News flash for ya Mr. Goldberg: The problem with Republicans is this: they simply don’t play to win. They play not to get hurt; they play not to lose. That’s why they lose elections and their support continues to erode.

The GOP, and their propaganda arm FOX, have gone all in this time with LGBT and other perversions, abortion, and little or no respect of the Constitution. And guess what? The left will still run roughshod over them, they’ll cower in fear, and they’ll STILL lose yet another election.

That is, unless conservatives move aggressively to change all that.

Thank the education system for this. During my 30+ years of university teaching, I was pretty much alone in trying to get a conservative viewpoint expressed. The current class warfare Obozo is pushing is a case in point. Despite centuries of failed Socialistic attempts, from New Harmony to Auroville, all failed for the same reason: People are not imbued with equal talents and, hence, cannot be rewarded equally in the long run.

Still, the GOP is virtually mute when it comes to telling people the advantages of conservative politics. We need a communicator, a la Reagan and Friedman, to get the message out. The current GOP leadership is an embarrassment.

Where would one go, outside of talk radio and those churches that still take scriptures seriously, to hear a philosophical or science based argument against gay marriage?

No one is carrying the social conservative banner.

Why wouldn't we expect American to regurgitate the only side of the argument they've been exposed to?

This is NOT an excuse to try to be more liberal than the liberals.

You will lose every time and the country will die faster.
