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

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.
