Maryland Republicans Preserve Traditional Marriage


ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Republican Party Chairman Alex X. Mooney issued the following statement today in response to the House of Delegates action to preserve traditional marriage:
 
“Today’s move by the House of Delegates to recommit legislation redefining marriage to committee, effectively halting the legislation, is a victory for traditional marriage and Marylanders alike.  Thanks to a gain of six Republican seats in the House of Delegates, the liberals push to redefine marriage was short a couple of votes, causing supporters to raise the white flag. The same bill passed the Senate by two votes, where Republicans lost two seats in the Senate last November. The votes in both chambers prove elections have consequences. 
 
“I hope this will resonate with Marylanders that unless we want our legislature continuing down the path of redefining marriage and mortgaging away our future – we need a more vibrant two party system in Maryland.”

    The only 'party' we need is the one where the citizens best interests are being served.

    1. I don't feel this is anything to boast about. This is a social issue meant to do away with a form of discrimination.
    2. What does defining marriage and mortgaging away our future have to do with one another? The statement should have stuck to the issue.

    Don't call it marriage - then most folks will probably be OK with it...unless they are real deep homophobes.

    I don't have an issue with equal rights...I have an issue with it being called same-sex marriage...a biblical contradiction in terms!

    Why call it marriage? I don't know much about the history of marriage but isn't it a religious thing? Again excuse if I'm way off base here, just thinking out loud. Aren't the same religions that marriage is based on opening against gays? I'm by no means against gays but I'm just trying to understand their need to be associated with the church. Religions can't be changed to fit social changes can they? Kinda defeats the purpose if you change it to be politically correct.
