Huckabee:Evangelicals Will Walk if GOP Backs Gay Marriage

Public support for gay marriage has hit a new high as Americans increasingly see homosexuality not as a choice but as a way some people are, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The poll shows that 58 percent of Americans now believe it should be legal for gay and lesbian couples to get married; 36 percent say it should be illegal. Public attitudes toward gay marriage are a mirror image of what they were a decade ago: in 2003, 37 percent favored gay nuptials, and 55 percent opposed them. ...

Among young adults age 18 to 29, support for gay marriage is overwhelming, hitting a record high of 81 percent in the new poll. Support has also been increasing among older adults, but those aged 65 years old and up remain opposed, on balance: 44 percent say same-sex marriage should be legal; 50 percent say illegal. ...

A slim majority of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents under 50 years old now support gay marriage. Nearly seven in 10 of those aged 65 and up oppose it, although that is down from more than eight in 10 just four years ago.

And

It's not news that young people are more liberal on issues like same-sex marriage, but a new poll charts just how deeply that split has been carved into the white evangelical community, one of the most socially conservative groups on the American religious landscape.

The poll, released in late August by the Washington-based Public Religion Research Institute, found that nearly half (44 percent) of young evangelicals between the ages of 18 to 29 favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry.

Republicans on gay rights will be another case of them being on the wrong side of history. They will ultimately claim that they were in favor of it all along but thought it was a states rights issue

Another case? Wouldn't you need a first case?

And yet you support the party of slavery and segregation.

Another case? When was the first? Methinks you are confusing the racist and slaver Democrats with the Republicans who freed them.

Let's just review the last ten years. How many times has the story changed on the War in Iraq and on terrorism?

Slavery and segregation?

When?
 
I have no stake in the gay marriage issue and don't even have an opinion. But anything that damages one of the two major corporate political parties - Democrat or Republican - I root for. Hasten the day there are no more Democrats or Republicans.

He's trying to say that the party that elected a black guy the most powerful man in the world is racist.
 

After millions of years evolution finally catches up to the Evangelicals!!! :cool:
millions of years of evolution to create homosexuality? If homosexuals were really the pinnacle of human development they would breed true. Instead they don't breed at all just like the past millions of years of evolution.

:::wwhhhhoooooshhh:::

Is the concept of humor like totally unknown on your planet??
Sheesh.

Is this the part where realize you got caught in your false-civil rights spin and try to pivot to something that has NOTHING to do with the original topic?

Democrats have always been the party of slavery and segregation. Who do you think ran the South for all those years? And nothing has changed. The Dems STILL demand the black population serve them on the Democrat plantation. None are allowed to leave.

Dude, what party do you think the Confederates were? What party was Bull Conner? Now, what party was Lincoln? A higher percentage of GOP voted for the Civil Rights Bill than did a percent of Dems. Just how illiterate of history are you?

I love when conservatives try to tell me that the party that elected a black guy as the most powerful man in the world and has several times more minority politicians in it's ranks is racists. Makes me laugh every time. Now what other irrelevant historical events from centuries ago would you like to cite to try to make your argument for the modern day?
