If he ever hoped to win as a moderate he would find a way to support marriage equality as softly as possible. Otherwise R-74 becomes a liability to him in this Obama friendly state.
McKenna is -surprise!- conservative on this issue and as a practicing Catholic has said that this is a religious issue for him and that marriage is a religious institution. So he is not evolving on the issue. That's his stance: It's against his religion so he's against it.
Why isn't it considered a "flip-flop" when Obama switched his position on same-sex marriage (to appease his rich gay donors) ? I understand that 25% of gay men are opposed to same-sex marriage, along with the majority of voters nationwide; and for good reason -- same-sex marriage is a VERY bad idea.
If Rob McKenna's views on homosexual marriage are the same as current Barack Obama's views, I won't vote for him. In fact, nuclear-family values will be the determining factor of my vote.
We don't need accommodation for and endorsement of homosexuality and loose abortion rights to help curve some mystical over-population issue. What we need is greater reverence for life, and laws enforced that denote that reverence.
I'm betting on about 12.
Not sure about McK.
THINK ABOUT IT.
