Need to get rid of Priebus. Really, what positives does this guy bring to the table? Lousy communicator, not quick on his feet, elitist name ( I know he can’t help that), no enthusiasm…on & on…….C’mon, there has to be a lot better alternatives than this chump.

Remind me again why we kicked Michael Steele to the curb…?

At least he had some good ideas to try and attract young voters (I didn’t scoff at the “Hip Hop Republicans” bit). And he was at the helm of the 2010 resurgence.

I like reading the news here and have been reading since college. I worked on Jindal’s 1st campaign as gov, his successful Congressional run, Bush 2004, and numerous elections in Colorado (Allard, Owens, Beauprez). But I get so miffed when I come here and I get compared to a pedophile, pervert, some devious person, etc. I am not trying to ruin your society or stop you from practicing your religion.

I will NEVER vote Democrat. But I don’t feel comfortable voting GOP knowing that there are people like the above in its ranks. Oh well LOL….

You people are rude and vile. You simply cannot have an intelligent discussion with people who talk this way about other people. No wonder you will continue to lose elections. Again and again. Until you catch your tone, get used to losing.

I suppose you lean Democratic, but the real problem the GOP faces is that even their own consevative politically kids agree with you. I know gay kids in their 20′s and they want to be Republicans, but for this type of talk.

The way I look at this conversation is that it can’t do much damage politically for the GOP when the election is so far away, but I just hope for some discretion during election season. Discretion is a Conservative value–just a reminder.

All that soul searching and all they do is decide to if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em?

That thinking sure helped Embalm me Romney in the last two debate debacles!

Reince Priebus: Rob Portman’s gay marriage position won’t limit the RNC’s support for him at all

Republican Base: For all the good that will do you…..

I recall when Todd Akin said something stupid and then apologized, Priebus pulled financial support along with Rove. I guess a homosexual “marriage” politician is better than a Conservative in favor of Marriage in Priebus’s eyes.

Glad to know he stands where I always thot he did.

Wonder what would happen if ALL Conservatives stayed home?

Thanks INC for these links. Have to read them tomorrow; early appt tomorrow:-)

And the nation is slouching towards Gomorrah.
*facepalm*

Ah, now, don’t kid yourself. It might have been slouching that way for the last 40 years, but now it’s barreling full tilt, pedal to the metal towards Gomorrah.

Why is D.C. so obsessed with the topic?
Why are under 30 year olds consumed with this topic?
PappyD61 on March 18, 2013 at 8:21 PM

Because we are Romans 1, and after 40 years of slouching towards Gomorrah, God has given us up to ‘shameful affections’. Everything Paul warned of is coming to pass, just as everything Pope Paul VI warned about in Humanae Vitae 45 years ago has come to pass and they’re definitely connected. Why the likes of Allahpundit and our other resident atheists still don’t see the Truth, that rejecting God and His laws results in destruction, is baffling to me. It’s all happening right before our eyes. I pray they wake up before it is too late.

Oh, and the RNC can kiss my assets goodbye.

Has Reince Priebus read the GOP platform recently?

INC on March 18, 2013 at 10:17 PM

From a strictly logical point of view, why would any party be bound by a platform that lost an election?

Now how stupid is the GOP?

The sky’s the limit on that one.

Good points and comments. Sad situation. I’ve been trying to figure out their objective. I first thot power and then reconsidered, since they are doing everything to secure failure.

She was right in 1964. She’s still right almost 50 years later.

Defending Marriage Against An Activist Judiciary

A serious threat to our country’s constitutional order, perhaps even more dangerous than presidential malfeasance, is an activist judiciary, in which some judges usurp the powers reserved to other branches of government. A blatant example has been the court-ordered redefinition of marriage in several States. This is more than a matter of warring legal concepts and ideals. It is an assault on the foundations of our society, challenging the institution which, for thousands of years in virtually every civilization, has been entrusted with the rearing of children and the transmission of cultural values.

A Sacred Contract: Defense of Marriage

That is why Congressional Republicans took the lead in enacting the Defense of Marriage Act, affirming the right of States and the federal government not to recognize same-sex relationships licensed in other jurisdictions. The current Administration’s open defiance of this constitutional principle—in its handling of immigration cases, in federal personnel benefits, in allowing a same-sex marriage at a military base, and in refusing to defend DOMA in the courts—makes a mockery of the President’s inaugural oath. We commend the United States House of Representatives and State Attorneys General who have defended these laws when they have been attacked in the courts. We reaffirm our support for a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. We applaud the citizens of the majority of States which have enshrined in their constitutions the traditional concept of marriage, and we support the campaigns underway in several other States to do so.
