Did the Republicans give up on that issue, only to find people like you are intent on punishing them anyway?

It's more like the feather on the scale which tips the balance. Those who really do care aren't going to vote for a candidate with the "wrong" views on marriage even if they agree with everything else said candidate states they stand for. Someone might want to know what your opinion about marriage is when you're running for something like County Surveyer, for example.

If you keep your stupid mouth shut instead of pandering on this issue you'll be fine.

I think that goes both ways.

There's going to be groups who care, and others who won't. Those who'll vote on that issue, and others who won't.


I'm honestly not sure how many care, and how many who'd change their vote on that basis. I wonder what the overlap between those who care and those who'd change their vote on that basis?


It might be more of a vote winner to get trad Christians to vote over getting rid of it, than it might be to appeal to "moderates" to switch. The perils of a system where not everybody votes.



All of this added to the simple fact that, regardless of that they promise, what our elected leaders do, well, there's generally very little overlap.

pretty sure most of the politicians and 70-90% of the base is in the camp of they don't care. a significant minority being in the camp of they don't like it and think it is a sin but won't do much more than say that. you will always have the group that wants to ban it though even if the make up an even smaller minority. in the hypothetical worst case scenario of the supreme court overturning it on the same basis as roe v wade explicitly because it is the legislature's job and not the court's job I think most sates would pass it and put better than even odds of it passing federally. it would be a big PR loss for the republicans though if it happened.

Well? Was it there? Did he get his kitty back?

I remember this. Was from early last year, I think it happened in Australia. To wit:

-- The cat was't even at that shelter.
-- He was going to get his cat back the next day, it was only kept in the system for some bureaucratic reason.
-- He didn't get it back after this "brilliant" stunt.
-- He got jail time for this, instead.
-- He was an idiot anyway, having been discharged from the military for unprofessional conduct of some sort.
