Confused Libertarians? Or good old fashion factionalism?

The RNC website says:

President Bush (a Republican) believes that marriage is the union between one man and one woman. He supports a Federal Marriage Amendment.

And yet...

The Log Cabin Republicans say:

Log Cabin Republicans is the nation's largest organization of Republicans who support fairness, freedom, and equality for gay and lesbian Americans. Log Cabin has state and local chapters nationwide, full-time staff in California and Washington, DC, a federal political action committee, and state political action committees.

There are a variety of ways of looking at this situation.

First, I commend those free thinking Log Cabin Republicans who, upon consideration of the issues, truly feel that despite the Republican position on gay marriage, the Republican platform best represents their views.

On the other hand, those factional Log Cabiners who blindly support the Republican party because "that's what their parents were" represent the very fears articulated in the Federalist Papers.

One can only hope that there are more "Working from inside the Party—educating other Republicans about gay and lesbian issues—is the most effective way to gain new Republican allies for equality" Log Cabiners, than there are "daddy was a Republican, so I am too" Log Cabiners.

For my part, I would refer the Log Cabiners here.
