Having said that, what I can't understand is why an issue that is only relevant to a tiny fraction of the population (2-3% of which is homosexual, and of these an even smaller fraction are remotely interested in "marriage") gets headlines and attention that you'd expect for the most pressing issues of the day.
Why is this getting more press than the budget debate, immigration reform, and other matters that are relevant to all of us rather than a noisy minority (and an equally noisy contingent who obsess over them)?
Barone means "tough for the RiNO-ate to get the GOP membership to sit still for, and swallow, the obviously nasty, vindictive, and degenerate politics of homosexuality as some sort of venerable American beau ideal."
In the face of reality, all that Barone and the other GOP-e types are worrying about is how to diddle their own and ingratiate themselves with catamites and sodomites who will always hate them anyway.
Barone and the e-GOP'ers have political-donation envy. Another rich group of degenerates has been throwing money at the Dems .... and the RiNO's want them some perv-money. Putos!
Because they're callow, stupid, and slow to catch on that they've been lied to in 11 dimensions for 30 years by the Velvet Underground in Hollywood and MSM journalism.
