http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/21/republicans-reject-proposal-to-endorse-same-sex-civil-unions/?hpt=hp_bn3Tampa, Florida (CNN) - The Republican Party's platform committee on Tuesday rejected a measure that would have expressed formal support for same-sex civil unions.
The platform committee, tasked with drafting the party's official list of principles and positions on a range of issues, is meeting in Tampa ahead of next week's GOP Convention.

They hate everyone else more than they love themselves.

as agents of Satan at the hands of their own political allies. They are sad, confused people.
I am gay, and unsympathetic.

the only things that could possibly explain that. They are chickens supporting the Colonel.

They could hold their support for the Presidential ticket like they did in 2004 for */Vader, but then they will just come back and ask for scraps.
They ought to just take their money and flush it down the toilet, they would get the same result.
