Just 10 short years ago, George W. Bush was using using opposition to same-sex marriage to help win swing states. But Monday, when the Supreme Court effectively made marriage equality the law in five and soon to be 11 more states, Republican candidates didn't want to talk about it.
Perhaps the most outspoken current Republican candidate was North Carolina's Thom Tillis, and even he kept it to a joint statement with the Republican state Senate leader saying that, until the Supreme Court settles the matter, "we will vigorously defend the values of our state and the will of more than 60 percent of North Carolina voters who made it clear that marriage is between one man and one woman." Other candidates kept their heads down, likely embracing this logic:
“We don’t have to agree with the decision, but as long as we’re not against it we should be okay,” said one aide to a 2016 contender who declined to be named to speak candidly on the sensitive topic. “The base, meanwhile, will focus its anger on the Court, and not on us.”
By contrast, 2016 Republican hopeful Ted Cruz was practically breathing fire over the Supreme Court's rejection of the appeals, calling it "judicial activism at its worst." The "activism" part is funny, given that what the Court did was to decide not to act to overturn lower courts. But the fact that the Republican shrieking the most loudly is one with his eye not on November's general elections but on 2016 Republican primary voters is telling: Cruz's outrage may well work with Iowa caucusers and South Carolina primary voters, but, as this year's candidates clearly know, it will not help in a general election.
we see them alienating yet another voting block they don't know how many LGB&T voters there are those not out I'm sure increase that power by untold numbers, they say this is their "VALUES" now known as "PRINCIPLES" will not tolerate other American's rights to purse happiness but tolerate their own bigotry and hateful teaching of their children to carry the discrimination into the next generation distancing themselves from the Word and Gods teachings, this is just the beginning for them give them the keys and it will really hit the fan pointed at "WE THE PEOPLE" Nov. 4th turn the fan around.
keep in mind whatever they promise now the others will kill it remember the 2010 jobs promise, well they are the ones blocking it i'll leave you with a warning from G W Bush,
