Prop 8 Anniversary – The Republicans
November 2, 2009 by Gay Agenda News Team
We know that not all straight Republicans marched in lockstep with Religious Right grassroots favorite Sarah Palin – whose pick as GOP presidential contender John McCain’s running mate gave a huge financial and emotional boost to the Protect Marriage/ Yes on 8 campaign. Last April, McCain’s daughter Meghan and chief strategist Steve Schmidt officially announced their support for same marriage equality.
Where were they when it mattered, you might ask? When the No on Prop 8 campaign needed mainstream Republican support to pull those independents and libertarians.
They were fattening their own wallets, as most of those in the political machine do.
