Gary Bauer Threatens to Leave GOP if it 'Bails Out' on Issue of Marriage Equality

[SpartanDem]

Today, the National Organization for Marriage and allied groups organized a "March for Marriage" orchestrated to coincide with arguments at the Supreme Court over the constitutionality of Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act.

The march ended with a rally on the National Mall featuring a variety of speakers, including Gary Bauer, who used it as a platform to send a message to the Republican Party that "if you bail out on this issue, I will leave the party and I will take as many people with me as I possibly can":

It's not a matter of if, it's when, I hope Bauer and Perkins bail because it's gonna be fun watching that party implode.

1. Go right ahead, we are waiting

[sibelian]

2. It had to end some time. The weird thing is...

... a lot of GOP people consider themselves super-duper extra smarty-pants STRATEGISTS and none of them seem to have seen this coming.

[mike_c]

3. Mr. Bauer, please proceed....

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. Bye, Gary. Be sure to take all your nutty friends, too.

[Ganja Ninja]

5. Talk about a rat leaving a sinking ship.

[randome]

6. He said yesterday the polls were 'skewed' on the issue.

He's gone. The GOP will, unfortunately, survive his departure. Maybe after wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, he may lead his people to the promised land -somewhere in the basement of a closed Wal-Mart, perhaps.

[EC]

7. And he will take his people where?

I hope he doens't bail on the repubs - he helps our side everytime he speaks.

8. Please Gary, go right ahead.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass. Form a third party and teach those Republicans a thing or two!

9. Be my guest, Turdblossom Jr.

[TheBlackAdder]

10. Then you lose power and will become insignificant! nt

[rurallib]

11. and please make it a spectacular break up

that we can watch over and over.
Use some real good fightin' words and call some people some names.
Burn some bridges that can never be repaired.
Oh and be sure to quote a bunch of bible passages.

[MFM008]

12. We need a third party

that the rest of us can shun.

[Initech]

17. The Fox Koch Tea Party doesn't count?

[EOTE]

13. If you know of another party who accepts lizard people...

you're more than welcome to join them, Mr. Bauer.

[spanone]

14. leave gary, go away. you are a parasite on humanity.

[Zoeisright]

15. There's someone who is deep into the closet.

I mean, really. Self-hatred is so evident, Gary.

[sibelian]

20. Please don't say things like that.

Thanks.

[Initech]

16. I've been saying since last year that the implosion would be fun to watch!

23. Where can I send this asswipe some money?

Please, please primary every (R) up for election in 2014. Taking away the teahadist seats you own now, that has to be ~225-240.

How do I make out the check?

[LibertyLover]

24. Don't let the door hit you on the ass Gary

as you exit. And please take as many idiots with you as possible.

[Renew Deal]

25. Goodbye

[atreides1]

26. The pancake man.

I remember him falling off of a stage during a presidential campaign...if the man can't keep his balance making pancakes, he shouldn't be seen out in public.

[tblue]

27. Write: [e-mail]

Just say, "Heck yeah! I support same sex marriage, so I guess you're gonna have to leave the Republican Party."

[northoftheborder]

28. Good. The Republican party is going out of relevance.

[bluestate10]
