Thank you Mr.Yglesias, for Making It Perfectly Clear

Oh and, by the way, the President has made it plain to the Washington Post that we no longer 'need' a Gay Marriage Amendment to the Constitution.

Hence, Matthew Yglesais:

"This is what social conservatives deserve to get sneered at for. They're the great suckers of American politics, whipped into a frenzy every two or four years and ordered to vote Republican in order to hold back the tide of libertinism, and then the Republicans don't lift a finger to do so. For one thing, their financers don't support the social conservative agenda. For another thing, if social conservatives ever had anything done for them, they might not be so mad all the time. But last and by no means least, social conservatives get screwed every time because their willingness to get screwed and then come crawling back begging for more next time there's an election on is well-established."

Pea and Thimble, anyone?
