Gay marriage repeal not on NH GOP agenda this year

[William769]

Concord, N.H.) Republicans who control the New Hampshire House have decided that repealing the state’s gay marriage law won’t be on their agenda this year.

House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that jobs and the economy will be the top priorities on an agenda to be announced Thursday. Bettencourt says there’s widespread agreement that social issues will have to take a back seat.

Gay marriage was enacted in 2009 when Democrats controlled the Legislature. Democratic Gov. John Lynch signed the law and has since said he would veto any repeal attempt.

2. So that's it, is it Republicans?

The defining issue of a generation, the linchpin holding all of the America we love together, and you're just going to let it go? It almost makes me think that all the rhetoric, bombast and heat you and your ilk generated for the last couple of decades was just so much hot air, that you didn't really believe your own intemperate words. If your followers didn't have such short memories, this failure to act could damage your credibility with them. They might even conclude that you aren't to be trusted, but lucky for you, none of them can remember what they had for breakfast, let alone your lunatic ravings over the years.
