From the New Palmetto Scoop's Photo section, this offering-
Gay marriage is a lost cause for the GOP and, until we can flush out the theocratic wing of the party, it will unfortunately remain on the agenda.
It’s sad because the more moderate, Goldwater conservatives who are the true heart of the party could mostly care less about this issue and would rather just let the people decide and move the hell on to more important matters.
But this is the mess we got ourselves into by bringing in the theocratic crowd… I guess that’s what happens when you make a deal with the devil - pardon the pun.
I feel bad for guys like Jack Kingston, who are all around great representatives but have to defend the anti-gay marriage “crusaders” or face political turmoil in their districts.
If anyone saw Kingston on Bill Maher a few months back, he was a hit and had a great outing. He was funny, witty, and generally came off as the better man on every issue (granted that isn’t hard when placed next to Maher and Alec Baldwin).
But then Maher brought up gay marriage, and Kingston had to give the cliche, “marriage is between a man and a woman.” He looked like a fool and Maher slammed him - again, pardon the pun. You could tell he would rather just not discuss it, but again, he must defend theocrats lest he upset his constituents.
