    Except…they aren’t changing anything. Preibus has backed away from his own “autopsy” of the 2012 election. The GOP wants Latino, gay, female voters — as long as they don’t have to change ONE SINGLE ELEMENT of their platform, which is anti-Latino, anti-gay, and anti-female!
    Too bad…the “big tent” of Reagan is rapidly becoming the “pup tent” of fanaticism…

    Moral opposition? More like judgmentalism and looking to feel superior to others.

    “Too bad…the “big tent” of Reagan.”


    If you think about it though, the 80’s was rampant capitalism and let’s make money. The social issues were pretty much on the back burner and didn’t really start to be focused on until the 90’s. It will be interesting to see if they can evolve to deal with these issues. I don’t see how they can “modify” their platform to accommodate things like gay marriage, it’s just too opposite one to another. Unless Obama and congress further deteriorate the economy the democrats should be in the majority for quite a while.

    Or as the Irrelephant said, “Screw our principles; let’s go for popularity.”

    However, over 60% of states voted against gay marriage – includling uber liberal states.

    After massive and massively funded ad campaigns by opponents of marriage equality, one might add, and more significantly, most of this legislation was passed long before 2012. Considering that as of 2006, support for gay marriage was still only 25%, and this support didn’t really start gaining huge ground until around 2011, the current high level of support most likely marks the fact that this legislation has a very limited lifespan.


    And that is as it should be. Legislation to enforce inequality on minorities is fundamentally wrong.
