The state’s GOP chairman said dropping opposition to abortion and the redefinition of marriage is ‘where the party is going.’.......

The purpose of the Republican Party is to prevent the forming of a Party that would actually oppose the Democrat Party.
What makes you say the country is trending for actual marriage? Whenever I look at the actual popular vote results that have been held on the issue through the years I unfortunately get the opposite impression.

Wow....they’re really screwed up people. 300+ partners doing something not meant to be done....no wonder they die young.
Power fills a vacuum. The GOP is not merely dead, it is in an advanced state of decay. It is past time to bury the carrion and for a new movement to lead.
If you don’t like the GOP—look at the American Independent party-Constutional Party in Nevada. They are in place. They are in harmony with the Tea Party.

Bit by bit, the stranglehold of the two headed uniparty could be displaced.
Insane. Just to think, when I was first drawn to become a Republican Party voter, the issues attracting me were things like balanced budget ammendments, family values, term limits and such. Nowadays, the GOP seems downright antagonistic to everything that once led me to them.
I can’t entirely decide of which the (Nevada) GOP caving to the degenerates on these issues is. Either it’s an example of such unbelievable cowardice that it engenders almost unspeakable contempt and revulsion in me towards the GOP. Or, it’s just showing that GOP is indeed becoming a true partner in evil with the Dems.
All I can add is that were my state GOP to do this, I can guarantee beyond a shadow of a doubt that I would no longer give them a single vote, big office or small.
It’s the silly Republican primary voters who keep nominating failed incumbents and alos-rans.
Nope. #1, I’m not urging people to vote for RINOs. I’m saying that if the Republicans put up a Conservative nominee in an evenly-divided district, 3rd party Conservatives risk splitting the vote and electing a Democrat. Horsford won with 50% and the Libertarian & AI candidates took from the Republican in 2012. This could happen again in 2014, and there’s no excuse for it.
#2, Mr. Best doesn’t even live in the 4th district. His residence is Stagecoach. This is in the 2nd district. He ran there in 2010 & 2012. Why isn’t he running there again ?
I can only think he is running in another district with a Dem incumbent (that he doesn’t reside in) for the purposes of taking votes from the GOP nominee and ostensibly helping Horsford to another term. If you don’t have a problem with this, I question your agenda here.
They be democrats
Nearly every place it’s been put to a vote (except MD notably), the people have stood for traditional definitions of marriage.
I have no idea how a political party that believes in nothing gets people to vote for them.
Maybe I got my data wrong. I read Mr. Bests arrounts, and spoke with him. I was impressed.
But what about how much they passed by, and when they passed in comparison with one another? For instance, if someone would have told you in 2000 right after CA passed prop. 22 by 61% that in the year 2012 NC also vote on the issue and pass an amendment by the same % as CA, would you have believed them? Seems to me the trend of a state like NC being twelve years behind a state like CA isn’t a positive trend at all. 8 years after prop. 22, CA held another popular vote. Prop. 8 passed, but only by 52%, they lost 9% on the issue in 8 years.

Well, my question remains why he suddenly feels compelled to run in a district he doesn’t live in (unless he has since switched his residency, but according to OurCampaigns, he’s still a resident of Stagecoach in the 2nd). I’m also of the opinion that if the GOP puts up a Conservative, the right-leaning 3rd partiers should stand aside and endorse the Republican.
It’s that nonsense that cost us seriously in California when now-Congressman Tom McClintock was running statewide and a Conservative 3rd partier cost him more than the amount of votes needed to have made him the only Republican to win statewide in 2002 (which, in turn, would’ve vaulted him to the odds-on nominee to have run in the Guv recall instead of the execrable Austrian Socialist Ah-nold).
So you backed big government RINO Liz Cheney in Wyoming but Republican tea party activist Niger Innis isn't conservative enough for you, so you want Nevada-4 voters to waste their votes on some third party dill weed and help Horsford to another term?
It sounds to me like you are are either "in harmony" with the democrats or on some kind of drug that's robbed you of your higher cognitive functions.
Your words, Impy, betray you as a Liberal—resort to insults rather than debate an issue. I spoke of not one thing about Wyoming (My father was born there) yet you bring it up— the ‘Dill Weed’ you speak of isn’t a Democrat Shill—He is a good conservative. If the GOP person is a better choice—say why. You can’t. I hope the DNC is paying you well, Sir.
The conservative Republican candidate can win the election; the loser you’re shilling for will be lucky to break 5%, but every vote he gets makes it easier for the liberal Democrat to win. This is a no-brainer for conservatives.

You words there betray you as a fool (or liberal), thinking Liz is a member of the tea party.
And yet Niger Innis isn’t tea party enough for you so you’d rather help the democrat win?
So what are you? Fool or liberal troll? DNC paying ME? That’s extremely rich based on your post, I’m not the one suggesting conservatives vote against the conservative Republican so it’s easier for the democrat to win, YOU are.
He is self described as a “yellow dog Republican”.
No more need be said really.
