I am beginning to think gay marriage might not get overturned in Iowa. Principally, I have faith in Majority Leader Gronstal. His steadfast statements are true leadership and not the feckless responses from Culver and Harkin.
But the real fun is watching the Republicans. This weekend far far right wing of the Republican party took a shot at the traditional right wing of the Republican party.
The wingnuts wrote:
"The unwillingness of Senate Republicans to stand on principle and break with senate tradition has revealed much about the vacuum of leadership in the Senate."And:
"Worse than the absence of any strategic or political victory on this issue in the Senate is the lingering possibility that when push comes to shove, many would rather protect legislative traditions than take a stand to protect traditional marriage. The Republican “leaders” in the Senate, and their caucus, must educate themselves on their Constitutional duties and make a decision to lead before the next legislative session."The signal is clear: Unless top Republican leaders do a full frontal assault on gay marriage there will be a war in the Republican party.
Things are looking up. Maybe y'all were right and I shouldn't have been so pessimistic after the court ruling.
