Unfortunately, the GOP do not and will not have the guts or conviction to do it.

You're dead wrong. The GOP won't have to do anything but insist that the issue should be decided by elected representatives. Turning this into some kind of morality play is something the country doesn't want, nor need.

Americans oppose the recognition of gay marriage by the state, and they will vote against those who promote it. But they also don't like people who "preach it" in their faces.

If the GOP is smart, they'll allow people to voice their disapproval (vote) without voicing their disapproval.

I think Polycarp is right. "Unfortunately, the GOP do not and will not have the guts or conviction to do it."

And they need to take a stand! Our whole country is going down the toliet... and the GOP needs take stands even if they are Controversial

Dead wrong? These pro-homo initiatives are gaining ground everywhere, accompanied by the studious silence of the GOP.

Only pro-family groups are out there fighting it. And the public is apathetic.

Americans oppose the recognition of gay marriage by the state, and they will vote against those who promote it.

Doubtful.
