Republicans don't care about that ****.

Republicans want to cut social security, medicare, and medicaid. They are funded by the mega-rich. The mega-rich have better things to do than worry about social issues. Those are just smokescreens to get your votes.

Why should your lifestyle choice entitle you to certain "rights?"
Why should your religious choice entitle you to determine who is qualified to certain rights?

If you're talking about the right to marry, gays have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex, just like everyone else. What rights are being denied?
That's your idea of a right? "Allowing" a gay person to marry only someone they couldn't possibly love?

Yep...that's my take on it as well.

Oh good God, do you have a link or any data to support that theory, or, is this just a fear fueled Opinion ?

That would be so pointless. They need to move on to things that really matter.

THAT is exactly as it should be. Remember, they were sent to D.C. to represent US!
That is, IF their constituents have the savvy to actually sit down and write an email or letter to their Representatives.
If YOU don't tell them what YOU want, they will do as they please, and you have given up any right to complain about it!
Oh please, the constituents aren't worth squat. What matters is what the oligarchy wants.

The spew that is coming from threads like this is what is hurting this country more than gay marriage or minimum wage. Look at yourselves, people. Blind party support is what is killing this country. I guess some people just can't be bothered to do anything other than pull for their team no matter what happens.

I hope most of you people are a little more reasonable in real life.

It's the economy stupid!

Nope. Republicans are worried about the economy and people finding jobs.

Remember last election, broaden the base. JOBS, JOB, JOBS.

Roll back to what? Perhaps you are being paranoid.
