House Republicans, in continuing to defend the Defense Of Marriage Act after the Obama Administration announced it would no longer do so, is citing a recent poll that found that more than half of all Americans accept same-sex marriage. That's right; they say that because a majority accepts gay rights to marriage, gays are no longer entitled to safeguards against laws that would deny them those rights.

This is the conclusion they draw, rather than concluding that the will of the people, as indicated by the poll results, is that they should not continue a foolish and inevitably doomed position of discrimination.

You can't use poll results to support your argument in one context but completely ignore the same information in a different context. Well, you can, but you had better be prepared to be called a hypocrite.
