| More than six dozen prominent Republicans have signed a legal brief to be submitted to the Supreme Court voicing support for gay marriage, the New York Times reported Tuesday. The list features members of Congress, including Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Richard Hanna of New York, top Bush Administration officials including national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley, and former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman. It also includes Republicans who had not previously signaled support for gay marriage, including former Rep. Deborah Price (R-Ohio), who

It is getting to the point where there is little, if any, difference between Republicans and Democrats. Civil unions are fine, "marriage" is not.

Hollywood seems to be winning out over God´s Word in America! We have asked, even begged Him to judge US!
Christians unite in prayer, presenting ourselves to the King, to intercede for US!
Amen

They can call it marriage, but no one will believe it or respect it. Ask these same sex married persons if they plan to have children - if so, how? Idiots and disgusting.

Let´s abandon God but expect God to bless us. Perhaps the problem is that our leaders no longer believe in God. And, yes, we are way overdue for a 3rd party.

Way to go, GOP! Make yourselves indistinguishable from the Democrat Party, falling right into their trap. Wusses.
Maybe it´s time for a second political party. That´s not a typo.
After all, with the way Republicans are caving, it may as well be a single-Party system right now.

Don´t blame the Republicans Party as a whole. This is mostly the same group of "moderates" and "libertarians" who have always opposed the party´s core, conservative principles. The one exception is Dick Cheney, who is doing this in support of his gay daughter. As a parent, I can understand even though I don´t approve.

The Republican Party died on 11-6-2012, along with our Republic.
The Republicans will never be a major player again. The Demon-RATS will win back the House, and increase their numbers in the Senate next year. When Øvomit leaves office in 2017, PIAPS will be ready and waiting to be sworn in.
I really have the feeling that this is exactly how the people of the Roman empire felt as it was destroyed. I guess it´s time for the savages to rape, pillage and plunder what is left of the once great superpower that we were under great presidents like Ronal Reagan -- a name soon to be erased by whoever buys the remnants of the USA at pennies on the dollar, and gets to rewrite history any way they want...
We are one lie-beral Supreme Court justice away from becoming a third-world cesspool like Cuba.
God has abandoned this nation, because this nation abandoned Him and we, His supposed followers, stood by and let it happen.

These people never consider the ramifications for what they do, but they feel good about themselves. They surely are driving Republicans to stay home at election time, because there is now no difference between the two parties.
This is written by a person who has no animus to gay persons, but just wishes that they would have respect for traditions. We wish them happy and wonderful relationships with anyone they wish, but just wish to exclude the word marriage from gay unions. If that makes me a homophobe, then I don´t recognize myself.
When this is all said and done, the new elites will be sueing the traditionalists even for thinking differently.

Hey, all you individual freedom-loving folks out there - -
Private contractual arrangements are NONE of the government´s business. The only time government should get involved is if there´s a conflict among the contractors - - then the government´s courts can help settle the dispute.
Ergo - - no government at any level has any right to issue "marriage licenses." They´re unconstitutional. Private contractual arrangements are strictly a matter for free individuals to decide.
Wake up, folks - - individual freedom is on the line here. Why would any of us want there to be MORE government involvement?

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

America´s 100 million cable and satellite subscribers are forced to pay ever-higher bills for a growing number of channels they do not watch. The American people are being ripped off. Meanwhile, services such as iTunes and Netflix have led a revolution in how consumers purchase and experience music and video entertainment. They have upended entire industries to allow consumers to buy digital content where they want, when they want. Amid all this change, two entrenched interests — the cable television and video programming industries — have teamed up to use federal regulations to stack the deck against consumers.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama is a little uneasy with the way journalists have been dragged into the Justice Department’s aggressive pursuit of national security leak investigations. In fact, he has ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to conduct a 45-day review of the department’s guidelines on the issue. That bit of news was buried in the middle of the president’s hourlong speech today at National Defense University. “Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs,” President Obama said. “Our focus must be on those who break the law.” And then the news: “I have raised these issues with

Anthony Weiner’s nascent mayoral campaign is off to a rough start. Weiner made his candidacy for mayor of New York official in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, and since then there’s no indication that the process is going particularly well. The former rising star in the Democratic Party can’t shake the scandal that forced him to resign from Congress, and he may be throwing fuel on the fire. Asked this morning whether there was another shoe to drop in the sextweeting scandal that ousted him, Weiner admitted, Well, yeah.

White House press secretary Jay Carney could only explain his problems on Wednesday by telling reporters, "[T]here are a lot of you, and you´re good at your jobs and you´re smart." As easy as it might be for Carney to lob such insincere praise at former journalistic colleagues, such posterior osculations must be embarrassing for a White House so accustomed to having the press in its back pocket. Carney´s job has become more difficult in the past two weeks. Where his explanations were accepted at face value in the past, he is now met with deep skepticism. Suddenly, the

WASHINGTON – First she refused to testify. Now Lois Lerner, the IRS official at the center of the agency scandal, is refusing to resign, according to a top Republican senator. Sources confirmed to Fox News earlier Thursday that Lerner, the head of the IRS division that oversaw the unit targeting conservative groups, had been placed on administrative leave, with pay. But Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, claimed she was only put in that status after refusing to step down. He said the commissioner was in his right to demand her resignation, and said taxpayers

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
