The GOP confused on gay marriage?

GOP divided in the case of gay marriage

Gay Marriage is becoming a bigger problem every day. Now it is time for the Republicans to pick a side. Some of the Republicans are split on which way to lean for gay marriage. Even GOP candidates of presidential race are side stepping the question on gay marriage. The candidates claim it doesn't matter what they think and they have to follow the rule of law. Which is whatever the Supreme Court rules. With 78 percent of voters from ages 18 to 29 accepting same-sex marriage, the Republicans can lose lots of votes base on this view. This explains why Obama won 60 percent of the youth vote election in 2012 presidential race. This isn't good for the Republican Party because only 30 percent of them accept gay marriage. If a candidate accepts and think gay marriage should be legal, they will lose a majority of Republican politicians support and maybe even some Republican voters. This divide with the general public and the party candidates could cost them the presidential election. In New Hampshire and South Carolina the majority of Republican voters said either accepting gay marriage is totally unacceptable or mostly. In Iowa 47 percent of Republican voters said the same thing. With these percentages it brings back the point of losing votes. Republican voters can do one of two things. They can either vote for Democrats or not vote at all. 

Analysis: The Republican Party should pick a side on gay marriage. It is critical for them too. With the overwhelming majority of young people accepting gay marriage Republicans should try to win over their vote. When they lost the vote of young people in the last presidential election it was one many things that cost them. The GOP should be more worry about young people than old because soon enough they will stop voting but young people vote will stay there for a while. If the Republicans wants to win have a better chance of winning this upcoming presidential election they should accept gay marriage because that is the way to go right now.
