Why did you Republicans vote for a candidate who was pro-gay marriage over one that was anti-gay marriage?

Obama believes marriage is between a man and a woman.
You didn't vote for him.

Instead............you voted for a John McCain, who believes that "gay marriage should be allowed."

Answer 1

Just because you're a Republican or a Democrat doesn't mean that you have to believe in every tenet of that party's platform. There are also some Republicans who believe that they are willing to forgo their disdain for gay marriage and hope for a tougher stand on less spending, just like there are Democrats who are Pro Life over Pro Choice but they consider it more important at this time to have a more affordable Health Care system in place. You can't get everything you want so you have to compromise for the candidate that represents more or most of the issues that are most important to you.

Answer 2

Gay marriage has absolutely no impact on anything except a persons belief system. The people who force these issues on the general public are wasting time remanding the important ones to be put on the back burner to satisfy personal agendas. You want issues? Put those CEO's in jail that took our money and left hard workers broke with no retirement. Fine and imprison those mortgage companies that "created" tempting financing so a person could live the American dream. Ask why a car costs $35,000.00. Why is gas still over $2.00 a gallon while barrel prices have plummeted. Ask why Exxon made $45 Billion in profits last year. Enough

Answer 3

i do no longer in my opinion however the tea social gathering is blindly marching forward with the same time table that fee the Republicans the presidency. Michelle Malkin right this moment listed this in her precise 3 the explanation why conservatives may be happy approximately the day previous's election: "3. Tea social gathering candidate Ted Cruz, between the conservative circulate’s brightest becoming stars, overcame corporation GOP opposition to clinch a U.S. Senate victory in Texas." Get what she's excited approximately? The tea social gathering candidate beat the Republican. one greater freshman for the freak teach. Laura Ingraham thinks Romney's marketing campaign could have been greater conservative. information Flash Laura: The White house is now (and has consistently been) gained via convincing the voters inbetween the extremes. Romney already further an extremist to his fee ticket with Ryan, a circulate that possibly fee him this election. yet you bypass striking forward, arm-in-arm with Malkin, striking into the 2016 election and we will lose that one too. --Republican who's particularly, quite bored with the tea social gathering.

Answer 4

As a Conservative...I don't give a rat's fat ask about gay marriage.

I think government should stay the hell out of peoples business.

I think obama just took the position to obtain a few votes.



It's about principal. Why do you want government involved in everything?

Answer 5

John McCain is the reason Hussein is prez! He was pathetic! If the Republicans can get legislation passed that will prevent Liberals from picking the Republican nominee, idiots like barrack Hussein will stop getting elected!

Answer 6

McCain is a moderate politician, not really conservative or liberal. My vote for him was due to his level of experience vs the almost non existent experience of Barrack Obama. I do not know where either of these men stand on the issue of gay Marriage, but I am not a one issue voter in any event, so it would not make much difference to me.

Answer 7

If that's true, McCain changed his stance since the debates because Obama and McCain came to an agreement on one issue during the debates: they both said they feel the same way about gay marriage.



About the video: McCain was cut off in mid sentence. He said "I support gay marriage if...." then it cuts out

Answer 8

Because contrary to the hype, gay marriage is not a major voting issue for either party.

Answer 9

At this point I couldn't care less about gay marriage. There is a crisis going on

Answer 10

Because the Republican party has been swamped with liberals who can no longer stomach the Dem party. They trashed the Republican party. So both the Dems and Repubs are in the sewer together.

Answer 11

all all black/brown people who think gay marriage should be ok voted for obama because they care more about his dark skin than they do gay people. as long as we dont have another "racist kkk member" in the white house we're good right?

Answer 12

McCain does not believe that! He only said he thinks gays should have more rights as a couple - as they should but not marriage.

Answer 13

Obama is working on legalizing gay marriages, stop lying.

Answer 14

McCain was far from the perfect candidate, but he was the lesser of two evils. That's why he got my vote.

Answer 15

Uh, because whether or not homos can get married is on the bottom of the list for me. Marry a homo if you want, I don't care. Just don't try to MAKE me accept it as a respectable decision.

Answer 16

I guess the golden goose egg- Abortion and gay marriage- that kept the Reps in power so long in spite of their many misdeeds, finally lost its' luster.

Answer 17

I don't vote based on social issues.

Answer 18

I guess fiscal issues mattered more than social ones for this election.

Answer 19

What drugs are you on?

Answer 20

because EVERY other view of Obama is radical liberal socialst. DUH!
