• West Point Chapel to Host First Same-Sex Wedding Ceremony

  In reply to The Third Archon.

  If they stepped away from the issue, they might once again be able to call themselves the party of small government. But the base voters, most of them Christians, won’t let them step away from the issue. Their religion forces them not to. There will never be a Republican sanction of gay rights unless the religious fundamentalists are jettisoned from the party. Either they keep losing elections or they reinvent who they want to cater to.

• 7 Reasons the GOP Should Be Worried About Its Future

  November 9, 2012 at 10:13am

  In reply to capitalismrocks.

  “Time to step away from these issues, time for the GOP to realize that they can’t be for the individual and at the same time demand gov’t control of these things.”

  This is the root of the GOP’s problem. Social conservatism is a dead movement. The religious right has lost its choke-hold on society and it is time to jettison these religious zealots who advocate for rape babies. When the GOP advocates for authoritarian bans on contraception and abortion, how can they still claim to be a party of small government? Their ideology of fiscal conservatism would be much more attractive to many Americans if it was packaged with personal freedom as opposed to imposed religious morality.

• Should Churches Be Used as Polling Places? Atheists & Church-State Separatists Say ‘No’ (Poll)

  November 8, 2012 at 11:00am

  This wouldn’t bother me one bit. In fact, I would imagine that voting against the religious right inside one of their own churches would be a very satisfying act of irony.

• 6 (Potential) Reasons Romney Lost the 2012 Presidential Election

  November 7, 2012 at 6:11pm

  The GOP lost because of their radical social policies. If Republicans want to win elections, they have to jettison the religious zealots within their ranks. Social conservatism is dead. If you support people who believe rape is God’s will, you are going to lose, every time.

• Mitt Romney Officially Concedes to Obama: ‘I Have Left Everything on the Field’

  So God is an Obama supporter, according to your reasoning?

• Major Networks Call Ohio, Election for Obama

  November 7, 2012 at 12:22am

  Time to purge the tea party and religious fascists from the GOP.

• Paul Ryan: Obama’s ‘Dangerous Path’ for America Threatens the Nation’s ‘Judeo-Christian Values’

  November 5, 2012 at 12:32pm

  In reply to OTBoxer.

  Well some of the original Judeo-Christian values are selling off women for gold and cattle, oh, and the divinely-sanctioned enslavement of non-Christians who weren’t killed through divinely-sanctioned conquest. So moral, wouldn’t you agree?

• An Obama Landslide? Here Are the Expert Predictions That Point to a Decisive Obama Victory

  November 5, 2012 at 11:57am

  In reply to Stelex.

  I agree. To the extent that all these people are talking about polls, in the end it is all just speculation. The only “poll” that matters takes place on Nov. 6th.

• Giuliani Calls for Obama to Resign, Says Americans Killed in Libya May Have Died Because of ‘Incompetence in the White House’

  In reply to reallyannoyed.

  No, Bush just went into an illegal war under false pretenses, condemning thousands to their deaths. Completely different.

• Report: Chris Christie Was Romney’s First Choice for VP

  In reply to Tri-ox.

  At the first sign of bipartisanship after a natural disaster, it’s so nice to see Republicans turning on their own. I love it.
