Thought of the Day

Peer Review is shocked that people would accuse the anti-gay marriage Amendment 2 of being used to GOTV.

The argument doesn't make sense as the supporters of the Florida Marriage Amendment originally targeted the 2006 election.

I agree that the social conservatives want the amendment on the ballot. I disagree, but don't question they feel strongly against gay marriage.

The Republican Party of Florida dumped money supporting the amendment to help the Governor and Congressional races. Mr. G and I had this argument. The GOP establishment hates social conservatives, but courts them to win elections. Social conservatives have to put up with it because they don't have the numbers to make their own party.

The Bush administration used gay marriage as an election issue and didn't touch it after the second term. Republicans had the numbers to attempt to outlaw abortion. The GOP didn't touch it because the polling numbers are against them. The Democratic establishment has the polling numbers. They lack the political courage to make it legal. Both sides talk about the importance of selecting Supreme Court justices. Neither have shown the political courage to legislate their beliefs on a federal level.
