I just can't believe this would influence one vote. I just can't imagine a single person saying, gee I support the Republican party, it's ideas and platform but because of one perv in congress I'm goin to switch my vote to the anti-american, pro-gay lobby, same sex marriage advocate, abortion on demand, cut and tun and defame the US Military demo/socialist party. Uhh, I don't think so.
Imagine someone who is already disappointed in the party because of the gay issue. This adds to the disappointment. How does our party even have such people?
