No questions on gay issues in RNC’s “Presidential Platform Survey”
Yesterday, received a “2012 Presidential Platform Survey” from the Republican National Committee. Given the number of gay leftists who argue the driving idea of the Republican Party is marginalizing gays (and other minorities), it is interesting to take a gander at the section of the survey devoted to social, er, “values” issues.
In neither these four nor the remaining twenty-four questions, did the Republican National Committee see fit to ask its faithful about homosexuality or gay marriage.
Guess that narrative about a party obsessed with the gays must exist only in the minds of its detractors.
NB: Tweaked title to fit it on one line.

House GOP Demands And Gets DOMA Response Delay From Supreme Court
“The Supreme Court Monday granted a request by House Republican leaders to delay until Aug. 31 the deadline for when they need to tell the Supreme Court their view of whether it should take two challenges to the Defense of Marriage Act in its upcoming term.”
The party seems sufficiently interested in spending taxpayer dollars to defend the right for the federal government to deny benefits to legally married gay couples. Unless this DOMA defense – and its cost – only exists in some people’s minds?

Yup.
Because, hmm_contrib, you are theoretically an adult, and should be able to take care of yourself instead of screaming and demanding benefits that are meant to ensure the welfare of children who cannot.
Furthermore, you blabbered before when your Barack Obama didn’t support gay-sex marriage that DOMA was OK and that it was perfectly all right for the Obama Party to do nothing about it.
Finally, as you’ve made abundantly clear elsewhere, you have ulterior motives other than marriage — namely antireligious bigotry and hatred of Republicans. You consistently scream, cry, and refuse any attempt to change tax laws or anything of the sort that would actually fix the issues that you pretend to care about.
Republicans recognize all of this. They see that you are a screaming and childish brat who, like your bigot leader Christine Quinn, abuse the law to punish people who dare to disagree with you publicly.
And that’s why they will continue to defend DOMA. As they should.

Why don’t you get back to us on what the RNC is planning on putting in their platform for the convention this year without it being part of that survey.

I should note that apparently hmm_contrib doesn’t feel that civil rights laws should be defended then.
