Gay Marriage could (and I say it will) help Republicans in 2016

Support is obviously not declining, you can cherry pick all you want, but all the other polls have shown the support in the mid 50's including those taken AFTER the one you posted.

Fact of the matter is any candidate harping on gay marriage and their opposition to it (Huckabee/ Santorum/Perry/Cruz, etc) might get mileage out of it in a Primary, but it will hurt them big time in the General among moderates.

Judges are turning voter mandates One man and One Women. In which our founding Father warned about a over zealous supreme court to dictating to States.

But If this has been decided by the Courts the Conservative Candidates do not have to approach this losing argument with all these "Feel Good Voters" They may have their Religious and personal Beliefs,
but it avoids a very debatable subject.

The DNC Liberals have corned the Conservatives in a corner basically saying "well you against peoples rights on whom they want to marry"

Argument closed and we can start speaking to the betterment of America.

People who are against abortion are against it because they believe it is murder, people who are against Gay Marriage are so because they think its icky. Who is more likely just not care anymore after a major setback like a supreme court ruling?

The people have mostly voted against gay marriage, but liberals changed the laws on their own. Most citizens consider gays/gay rights to be an old tired story that just won't go away. So, go ahead and get married, and then get divorced. Just stop playing the victim... nobody is buying it anymore.

Liberal judges, more like judges that believe all peoples are equal as the constitution and declaration of independence have done.
