One major motivation in the flip-flopping of so many Republicans, it appears, is the belief that there are loads of campaign cash to be had on the side of the homosexual marriage issue. The professing conservatives can’t line up on the street corners fast enough advertising themselves for whatever position the sodomites would like them to assume.
Choose ye this day whether ye shall stand for your beliefs, or be pimped out to homosexuals by your Party leaders.
Politico reports,
Several Republicans pointed to Sen. Rob
Portman’s switch in support of gay marriage as a watershed moment for
the party. And more than two dozen high-profile Republicans asked the
Supreme Court to back gay rights. And even Foster Friess, Rick
Santorum’s top benefactor, has softened his stance on domestic
partnership.
“Republicans’ intolerance to marriage
equality has been detrimental to winning,” said Aaron McLear, a
California Republican strategist. “Big donors understand that they don’t
want to invest in campaigns focused on a losing issue, and I think
certainly the fiscal issues for Republicans are much more marketable.”
Republican fundraiser Jim McCray agreed.
“I think it will open up donors across the board, because it
demonstrates Republicans are trying to recreate the big tent they were
known for,” McCray said. . . .
Several lawmakers told POLITICO the issue
has come up in meetings with potential big donors, who take a different
view than the party base.
Portman himself . . . vice chairman of
finance for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, held a dozen
meetings with big New York donors recently in an attempt to assuage
their fears about the direction of the party.
One GOP fundraising operative said Portman’s announcement could provide a fundraising boost to the debt-saddled NRSC. . . .
Log Cabin Republicans is already looking to use Portman’s announcement to boost its fundraising.
It is helpful to note that most of the Republicans referenced in this report are from California and New York. Some “big tent.” If the Republican party comes to be defined by the Republican Parties in NYC, LA, and San Francisco, then why even have a Republican Party?
If on the other hand, the rest of the conservatives in between the blue coasts have something to say on the ethical values of the Party, today would be a good time to say it.
