The Republican betrayal

The Republican betrayal 

Below is today's New York Times article on the bill's passage, unquestionably the greatest victory that same-sex "marriage" has so far enjoyed in this country. And here is the key event that allowed it to pass:

... after days of contentious discussion capped by a marathon nine-hour closed-door debate on Friday, Republicans came to a fateful decision: The full Senate would be allowed to vote on the bill, the majority leader, Dean G. Skelos, said Friday afternoon, and each member would be left to vote according to his or her conscience. "The days of just bottling up things, and using these as excuses not to have votes--as far as I'm concerned as leader, it's over with," said Mr. Skelos, a Long Island Republican who voted against the bill.

Apparently it was not Skelos alone, but the entire Republican caucus, including the 28 Republican senators who voted against the bill, who allowed the bill to come to the floor and be passed. So the Republicans deserve to be damned. When a ruinous thing threatens society, it must be stopped. You just say no. And if that means preventing a floor vote on a bill, even if that seems "undemocratic," that is what you must do. But, as with the Republican surrender  U.S. military last year, the Republicans seem drawn by some fatality always to end up going along with liberalism. The underlying reason, perhaps, is what reader Aaron S. identified yesterday: "the inability of any Republican of note to think or speak outside the language of rights." State senators in New York serve a two year term. I hope every Republican senator who voted to allow this bill to come to the floor is defeated.
See also, in the third and fourth paragraphs of the article, the mindless thought process that led Republican senator Mark Gristanti to switch sides and vote for homosexual "marriage."

California Passed a few years ago legislation prohibiting same sex marriage, the 'voters' rejected twice any law to allow any same sex recognition  of marriage . I for one voted against same sex marriage for logistical reasons as I will explain. First the state should have recognized Domestic Partnerships which easily included the right for benefits and the adoption of children . Second , the 'terms'  Husband and Wife are heterosexual terms that can't be applied legally if two men were to call themselves both 'husband' . When taking a wedding vow , would the chaplain who preforms the marriage say : " I now pronounce you husband , and husband ". Heterosexual terms can't be used during same sex weddings , yet they are . There confusing legal language . Third , this was a subject that was better kept in it's place , when the conservatives brought forward a ballot measure that only recognized traditional marriages in California years ago they may have set up a legal chain reaction that pushed the Gay agenda  further into the mainstream .  Gay's could have had weddings preformed without  any legal interference from Government , There were churches already preforming 'weddings' ,  the fact that most of the mass weddings of Gays were more catering toward sensationalism rather than genuine love between two people .Forth, Marriage is about reproduction . Two men and Two woman can't make babies . Men who are gay have tried to adopt , and have problems raising children . If there is two women . They will usually seek a sperm bank . Five,  Most flagrant homosexual behavior seems to be stimulated by pornographic  images , and fetishism . This  has created a stigma for the acceptance of homosexuality in society  . Most of it is  deviant behavior to many people .

Yet with only 10% of the population being Homosexual . This is a vary small minority of a group of people in the United States whose behavior  influences society , and politics while it's not exceptionable to most of the greater majority of the people.

Here are more arguments. Republican betrayal , Gov. Cuomo .

What really annoys me about this Gov. Andrew Cuomo-driven agenda is that the Republicans will be the enablers. I am so sick of Republicans trying to appear reasonable in the media. The only way a Republican is reasonable to the elites is if he betrays Republican principles and positions.

Do you think if the Democrats controlled the state senate that they would allow a bill that limited abortion or significantly cut spending or was contrary to their agenda? Of course not; Dems may be liberal bullies but they are not stupid. They don’t betray their base.

Why cannot the Republicans, who generally have better ideas, be so smart? There is a disconnect and it justifies not voting for them anymore. We need the Tea Party to make its mark in the state.

Why elect people who will turn around and violate the sacred trust on such a fundamental issue? What do we gain by sending in people who claim to support us and then abandon us in our moment of need?

Despite the recent opinion polls that indicate the contrary, New Yorkers do not want gay marriage. If they did, the gays and their supporters would place it on the ballot and if they won, they would declare that the people are on their side.

But with 30 states ruling against them on the ballot, they know better. Instead they use judges, pressure legislators and manipulate the media. They try to persuade public opinion, but when that fails, they use coercion–typical leftist tactics.

It is bad enough when Dems are in charge but to have the Repubs be the betrayers is too much. And why? So they can get a little praise from the media who surely laugh at their weakness.
