Ridiculous, and one of the many reasons people are turned off by extreme social conservatives. DOMA was a bad idea to begin with, and completely hypocritical of "conservatives" for wanting a federal law to supersede a state's right to manage marriage.

A conservative super PAC is taking to the airwaves with a new commercial criticizing Republican Senate candidate Liz Cheney's comments on gay marriage.
Cheney said earlier this year that she is "strongly pro-life and I am not pro-gay marriage." The ad, from the American Principles Fund, suggests that Cheney isn't sufficiently conservative on the latter issue. It singles out comments Cheney made on MSNBC in 2009 in opposition to a constitutional ban on gay marriage and in support of a State Department decision to extend benefits to same-sex couples.
"MSNBC: The go-to network for Barack Obama and Washington's liberal elites. So what's Liz Cheney doing here?" asks the narrator of the ad.
The group is airing the ad statewide in Wyoming for about two weeks, according to spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the daughter of former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.

Liz Cheney is an opportunistic carpetbagger. She will lose big.

That, at least, is a correct statement.

And here's how we lose another solid seat. Awaiting use of term "carpet muncher" or "fudge packer".
