Not having active proposals on a matter does not mean you have stopped caring about it.

I guess you never heard the phrase "silence implies consent."

I stopped listening to much of anything these people say they stand for. Their actions speak so loud I can't hear them anyhow.

You are right that in many cases, they have failed the conservative cause despite supposedly championing it.

Certainly good cause to distrust them.

Ok, what would you have them do?

No sane person believes a marriage amendment, which couldn't get passed 10 years ago, can get passed today.

When Ronnie Shows (D-MS) tried in 2002, he failed. When Marily Musgrave (R-CO) tried in 2003, she failed. When Sen. Allard (R-CO) tried in 2004-2006, he failed. When Paul Broun (R-GA) tried in 2008, he failed.

To my knowledge they've never gotten cloture in the Senate to even vote on an amendment directly. The House has never gotten more than about 60 votes short of those needed.

The issue--a state issue--is in the federal court system working its way to SCOTUS. What do you expect House or Senate Republicans to do other than waste time?

Is the House Republican defense of DOMA before the courts, because Obama-Holder, refused "silence" in your lexicon? Give me a break!
