It should be considered a win for the R party as well. The anti-gay position does damage to them without providing any real benefit. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I am happy to see some republicans break rank on that one. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Agree. The less the Republican Party talks about gay/trans/abortion type issues, the more likely they can win elections. The majority of the country is against the Republican platform on these issues. |

Yes, the GOP should focus on their much more popular policies of gutting social security and Medicare and cutting taxes for the rich. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Don’t be so sure on the Manchin-ing. At least three far-right GOP House members are already saying they are voting no for McCarthy for Speaker. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I’ll bet you ($1) that when the actual vote happens on the floor of the House no Republican votes against him. |

I’m tempted to accept the bet, but I don’t really care either way. This guy seems like a solid no, can’t imagine him changing his mind after releasing this statement: https://amgreatness.com/2022/11/17/i-cannot-vote-for-kevin-mccarthy-as-house-speaker/ Matt Gaetz is also a no, according to his Tweets. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
