Billionaire Republican donor Paul Singer , long known for opposing legislation that increases the regulatory burden on American businesses, has brought together a bipartisan coalition that aims to move the GOP to push homosexual “rights.” Singer, who backs same-sex "marriage" and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), helped form two organizations in the last year that have donated to Republicans that share their support for comprehensive immigration reform, same-sex "marriage,” and Israel. Billionaire GOP donor Paul Singer Working with groups like the ACLU, SEIU, and Human Rights Campaign , Singer has donated $10 million over the last several years to pro-same-sex "marriage" efforts in New Hampshire , New York, and Maryland. He has been inspired by his openly homosexual son,  according to media reports . Singer has  donated  $375,000 to help pass ENDA in Congress, telling  USA TODAY,  “America is a place where the freedom to be who you are...

Republican voters continue to be at odds with many party leaders and donors on the issue of marriage, a new national poll shows. Over three-quarters of GOP voters  support marriage being kept between a man and a woman, according to the poll, released last week by the Family Research Council and American Values. The release came a few days after the Nevada GOP decided to drop support for marriage from its platform, and in Illinois six of seven state party committee members  were replaced  after they pushed back against a former chairman's support for same-sex "marriage." A number of billionaire donors to the Republican Party are also supporting candidates who back same-sex "marriage," and  making other moves  to push the party to support changing the definition of marriage. According to American Values president Gary Bauer , the GOP should prioritize its voters' support for marriage, not the preference of party leaders and donors. "That b...

WASHINGTON, D.C., – As the National Republican Campaign Committee ( NRCC ) continues to tout two openly homosexual Congressional candidates as part of a “new generation” of Republicans who reflect the socially libertine values of voters under age 30, at least one Congressman is arguing that the GOP should not be funding candidates who oppose the party platform on social issues. Politico  reported  last week that Congressman Randy Forbes (R-Va.) has been privately urging GOP leaders to cut off campaign funding to Carl DeMaio and Richard Tisei , two openly gay candidates who are trying to unseat Democratic Congressmen in blue states – California and Massachusetts, respectively. Both DeMaio and Tisei break with the Republican platform by supporting same-sex “marriage” and legalized abortion-on-demand.  (As a state legislator, Tisei earned a 100 percent approval rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood.) Rep. Forbes told Politico that while individual party lead...

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 26, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – If the Republican Party abandons its traditional defense of marriage, it will lead to an exodus of voters from the GOP, former presidential candidate and Reagan administration appointee Gary Bauer said today.  He told thousands at the March for Marriage that he knew many of the attendees were Democrats, independents, or belonged to a third party. “I'm a Republican,” he said in rising cadences. “Let me say to my party: If you bail out on this issue, I will leave the party, and I will take as many people with me as I possibly can!” His speech seemed to take aim at the assessment of Republican strategist Karl Rove , who said on Sunday that  he could see the next Republican presidenital candidate supporting gay “marriage.” Bauer's  cri de couer  is the most blunt reaction so far to suggestions from the Republican Party's leadership that the GOP step away from its platform's traditional stance on s...

COLUMBUS, March 22, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The Republican Party of Ohio has appointed as its executive director a  registered lobbyist  for the group that is actively campaigning to redefine marriage in the state, deepening the conflict between voters and the party elite. The move triggered swift backlash, as a coalition of 80 conservatives from across the state issued a letter warning party bosses they “will not support them” in the future. The new GOP leader is Matt Borges, a lobbyist for Equality Ohio , the group pressing to overturn the state's constitutional amendment against same-sex “marriage.” Borges was  hand-selected  by retiring state GOP chairman Bob Bennett, who has led the party since 1988 with a  brief interregnum , and is seen as Bennett's heir apparent. Bennett retires May 31. The Associated Press describes Borges as the party's  "chairman-in-waiting." “With this letter we put the party bosses on notic...

Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, 2008 US presidential candidate. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Greetings from the great state of Florida, where marriage emerged from the platform fight with a great victory! In the buildup to the RNC Convention in Tampa, the Log Cabin Republicans and GOProud promised that a new generation of Margaret Hoover Republicans would help weaken the GOP 's commitment to marriage. This is part of a larger narrative of supposed inevitability that we always hear: "Support for gay marriage is growing everywhere." Except when it's not. The effort to get the GOP to retreat from marriage in Tampa was an epic fail for the seditious pro-gay marriage elites within the GOP! The director of the Log Cabin Republicans, R. Clarke Cooper , told the Boston Globe in July that his group's goal was to convince Republicans to strike any "anti-gay language" from the platform—including any mention that marriage is a union of male and ...
