I know, I know. It’s hard to see them over all the EMPTY chairs….
Sad, isn’t it?
(Actually – it’s not. It’s quite rapturous that no one is interested in their hate-mongering).

A new poll from LifeWay Research – a Christian polling firm connected to the Southern Baptist Convention – shows 58 percent of American adults agree same-sex marriage is a civil rights issue and 64 percent believe it is inevitable same-sex marriage will become legal throughout the United States.
Other findings in the poll:
• 63% believe clergy should be allowed to refuse to officiate over same-sex weddings. (That percentage jumps to 74% for people who identify as “Born Again, evangelical, or fundamentalist Christian”
• 58% believe photographers should be able to reject gay couples (in contrast, 72% of fundamentalists do).
• 40% believe rental halls should be able to refuse to book same-sex weddings (compared to the 57% of fundamentalists who feel that way).
• 20% believe landlords should be able to reject gay tenants and 14% said employers should be able to discriminate against homosexuals.

Mitt Romney said things would get better once the election was over…
Speaking at CPAC this afternoon, Sen. Marco Rubio complained that the people he would deny rights to (same-sex marriage rights, pro-choice rights) don’t respect him:
“I respect people who disagree with me on certain things, but that means they have to respect me too. Just because I believe states should have the right to define marriage in a traditional way does not make me a bigot. Just because we believe that life, all human life, all life, all human life is worthy of protection in every stage of its development doesn’t make you a chauvinist. In fact, the people who are actually close minded in American politics are people who love to preach about the certainty of science in regard to our climate, but ignore the absolute fact that life begins at conception.”

The US Supreme Court – March 26, 2013
Forward.
Scott Prouty, a bartender hired for the Romney fundraiser, comes forward as the man who recorded Mitt Romney’s notorious “47%” comments.
Prouty says he didn’t go in with a grudge or the intent to “get Mitt Romney.”
Prouty also shares that no one was told not to record or take pictures, and that there were several people at the event with their cameras out. Plus there was a video crew and sound crew.
He says he struggled for a few weeks about whether to share the recording. He says he felt an obligation to release it for the people who can’t afford to pay $50,000 to hear what Romney says behind closed doors.
Who would know when he started recording that it would turn out to be a major factor in the 2012 campaign?
