No, that's just called "telling the facts". Only an idiot would think that was even close to being a good ticket.

I thought we were talking about Palin and her chances of beating Obama to become president.

If that's so, then why should the government have the authority to ban individuals from marrying someone of the same sex?

I saw a Palin/Coulter sticker on a truck where I live before Obama was even sworn in.
The sad thing... it wasn't a joke.

Excellent point. There is not ONE LOGICAL fact or reason to deny gays marriage. NONE other than religious fairy tales (and those arent logical).

Being socially conservative and claiming you are against government intrusion is comical at most.

Those are my selections, however they may not be extreme enough for Republicans.
What makes you think that the majority of Republicans are extremists?

Because the party has been hijacked. Any true Republican has left or will leave. Many that are comprising the party now are Neocons or corporartists.

You can, of course, post data showing what you claim to be fact?

They're not banning anyone from getting married; they're reaffirming what marriage is: one man, one woman.
