TIME:

The Republican National Committee voted unanimously Friday to reaffirm the party’s commitment to upholding the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman, upending party efforts to grow support among younger voters.

A resolution introduced Wednesday by Michigan committeeman Dave Agema, who came under fire last month for posting an article describing gays as “filthy” on his Facebook page, passed the full RNC by a voice vote and without debate. A second resolution reaffirming “core values” of the party — including opposition to same-sex marriage — was also passed.

So I guess that third party won't be necessary — again.

Here's the link to the Time Magazine article which contains the complete RNC resolution.

3. Thus accelerating their dive into the demographic abyss.

I'm good with that. Although the infighting is entertaining, there's No Way it would last through an election. Power is more important than principle with this crowd.
