The last CBS(!) poll had 59% supporting a constitutional amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman. 64%opposed to homosexual marriage.

This issue IS pulling the base and expanding it. Don't be so moby.

The Democrat party in OHIO said that every second that homosexual marriage remains in the media that is a democrat losss. Some are now openly stating Kerry should SUPPORT the FMA in order to get it off the table.

I know a few old timers who are disgusted that their Party's new claim to fame is being the "Gay" party. (only they used a term which includes the UK word for cigarette)

The fact that you don't use that term, but only allude to it, indicates the power they have (over you). "Fag" is (usually considered) a derogatory term for a homosexual (as is 'queer') and I see no need to avoid being or appearing derogatory toward them.
