One of the reasons we cats find the nation's progress on marriage equality so satisfying is that we know it's going to be the issue that wreaks havoc on the Republican Party in 2016.
(Well, sure, there will be other issues. But gosh! Practically all of the United States has moved forward on the idea of not discriminating against gay people. And there's the deeply Southern, Christian whackjob GOP base, just pounding each other to bits about it. Fun to watch.)
Just a few days ago, our right-wing friends over at Free Republic were raking Baby Marco Rubio over the coals for saying he'd consider going to a gay wedding if he was close to the couple involved. Now, they're freaking out over Scott Walker, who claims he's already attended a "reception" for a same-sex married couple. Here are just a few of their choice comments:
"I knew there was a reason I would never vote for him."
"I won’t vote for anyone who doesn’t see that attendance at one of these travesties is tantamount to approval. No exceptions."
"He has two strikes against him now. He is pro-amnesty and he is courting the homosexuals’ votes."
"It won’t surprise me Walker will be reading a speech in Spanish at La Raza six months from now."
"Maybe he’s tough on unions, but he sure doesn’t seem to give a damn on the Gay Mafia’s attempts to eradicate our religious freedoms."
So sorry, Scott — you may have just scooped up the evil Koch brothers' shadowy endorsement, but the Freepers have decided they hate you. Could be a problem. We cats PURR.
