Thank you for reminding us that the left doesn't accept dissent or diversity of thought.

It is hysterical you think this proves something.

Uh, Christie is still a Republican.

Why don't you point out a bunch of Democrats who oppose happy marriage.

Ok, not a bunch.

How about 3.

Same for abortion.

I can't wait to read all about it.

This article names 2 Dems - Tester & Manchin - then we get this mealy mouthed nonsense:

McCaskill spokesman John LaBombard told the Springfield, Missouri, News-Leader after Obama’s announcement that while his boss opposes discrimination against homosexuals, she thinks states should “take the lead in determining marriage equality.”

From the 1st paragraph.

Senators Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana are among Democrats facing questions about their stand on the issue and whether they are swayed by the president’s support, which he announced May 9. McCaskill, Manchin and Tester are seeking re-election this year in Republican-leaning states. None back happy marriage.

the point is that he appears to be shunned because of his willingness to think outside of the typical "GOP" norm and has openly supported things that is frowned upon in the GOP.

Christie actually would have a shot if winning the Presidency unlike the last two clowns the GOP has put forward. The point is that the GOP has gotten their @sses handed to them in Presidential races twice in a row and there is no evidence that they are changing their ways. Fine by me but it is pretty comical to see the infighting. Not only did the GOP get blown out but demographics are looking awful for them so the same plan doesn't look like a winner with a more diverse electorate in 2016 vs. 2012. You could always get Rasmussen to tell you otherwise but then that would only lead to false hope.

mattbrot,

the article said McCaskill opposes happy marriage but provided no statement to that effect from her or a spokesperson.

For Tester & Manchin, they both made clear they oppose happy marriage.

looks like irrational fear to me... 

probably terrifying for the closet cases that try to argue the point vehemently... freud called it reaction formation...

Hard to be shocked by this,  I mean since when would the current GOP invite the most popular Governor in America, who just so happens to have an (R) behind his name, not to mention in a super blue state...

sounds about right

at least Santorum is invited!

christie, who actually might believe the government shouldn't control every aspect of our lives, was not invited but the following nuts are invited:

lapierre

palin

santorum 

allen west 

rick perry 

you could go to the closest maximum security nuthouse and pick out 10 people randomly and get a more normal group than the nuts attending this event.  if they have goodie bags like the oscars, they are going to be filled with Abilify

I think it is a matter of opinion... you call them nuts... others call them visionaries that we should elect and follow because of their views...

Claire McCaskill has come out in favor of happy marriage.

She proudly said she was opposed to it after Obama made his big annoucement.

Of course, she was running for re-election then.
