conservative of views on this issue is to be supportive of same sex relations along the line of, that s your thing. i ll do my thing. it is none of my business and what goes on in your bedroom is none of my bez. you have ken melman, former rnc chairman in support. actually very active raising money for marriage of quality in new york state. you have john mccaine s campaign manager. you have the cheney family. there is a lost encouragement in terms of the republican party for support. even though the house republican leadership which tends to be on the far right is defending the defensive marriage act in an ociferous way. we should encourage more republicans to be supportive. clearly the american people are siding on the side of fairness. they are coming on the side of fairness.
republicans have chosen to stand right behind the prime minister. one example mitt romney saying the president has thrown israel under the bus. when was the last time we saw american politicians lining up with a foreign leader against the president of the united states? also, let s talk about those republicans back in november president obama looked like a goner. today huckabee s gone, newt is self destructing and romney failed to break out of the pack. how did we get here so fast? plus another sign of how much our culture is changing. for the first time in history the gallup poll shows a majority of americans supporting gay marriage. this story might be related to the last one on gay marriage p. the end of the world is scheduled for tomorrow precisely at 6 p.m. no matter wherever you are. my advice, don t stop flossing. let me finish with a man who fought for a once ungrateful country who has finally seen his dream come true. with begin with the blow back from the presiden
