Romney Adviser Doesn’t Think GOP Platform Will Ever Support Same-Sex Marriage

Ed Gillespie, who served as a senior adviser to Mitt Romney's campaign, said Sunday that while Republicans may embrace a more federalist, state-by-state approach to same-sex marriage in future party platforms, he doesn't believe the party platform will ever support marriage equality.

"I don't think you would ever see the Republican Party platform saying we are in favor of same-sex marriage," Gillespie said on "Fox News Sunday."

"I don't see the Republican Party or most Republicans, obviously, changing in terms of believing that marriage is between one man and one woman," Gillespie said.

"I wouldn't have any problem with" a platform saying marriage is between a man and a woman in 2016, Gillespie said. "I think one of the questions is, I believe the platform right now calls for a federal constitutional amendment to ban it. You know, there may be a debate about that."

2. DU* to Romney Advisor; You go and run with that idea

The demographics are shifting more and more to support of gay marriage not to
mention that good old gay and lesbian voting block.

BTW gays and lesbians are great campaign workers, leaders, and volunteers too.

and minorities

4. Good idea

It is so good make sure you say it loudly and often ... make sure everyone knows.

while you're at it remind folk that y'all aren't real "keen" on people of color, immigrants (from anywhere except western Europe) ... and don't forget to remind your base that women should not have full control of her body or her health.

Run, run far and shout your message

5. Proof positive the GOP does not want to win elections with votes, just wants to steal elections

Hey, we need to just keep our noses clean and put forth a platform which will be for we the people. Ed is playing to the base but the numbers will not be there, we need to pick their pockets.

6. wasn't Gillespie once a Democratic something or other ?

if he was I'm glad he switched to the party of parasitic sub human wastes of space.

You go pukes -you'll catch up in about 400 years.

7. In other words...

the current GOP may die unless they do actually change.
