DELUSION ON PARADE: Ralph Reed, Opposing same-sex marriage is ‘definitely a winner’ for Republicans

Faith & Freedom Coalition Chairman Ralph Reed asserted in a recent interview that Republicans would definitely come out ahead in the 2014 elections by opposing equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.

During an interview with Bloomberg TV over the weekend, host Al Hunt asked Reed if evangelical Christians would reject any candidate who supported same-sex marriage.

“That’s the position that we take,” Reed declared. “If you poll Republican primary voters, 75 to 80 percent of them are in support of traditional marriage.”

Reed argued that every prospective 2016 GOP presidential candidate was “pro-life, pro-family and pro-marriage.”

This is what the people who provide Ralphie's revenue stream want to hear him say when he gets in front of a camera.

Who knows if he really thinks it's a winner for Republican? But it's clear that being seen saying so is a winner for him personally, and being seen saying something different would be a loser for him personally.

And, I assume anti life, anti God, etc?

They spend big bucks on developing and spreading messaging that convince their constituencies that things like isolating, tormenting and shunning gays, even to the point of teen suicide, is the human/e course and we are the bloodthirsty monsters. Most of us even know the name of at least one of their professional messagers, Lunz.

What's the deal with our professional messaging?
