This may get by in Iowa as they are tripping over each other trying to capture the religious right but not so much on the national level.
"The Iowa caucuses bring many celebrities to the state to rally last-minute support for candidates, and this weekend, Duck Dynasty‘s Phil Robertson was the latest to make the trek to support Republican Ted Cruz. Introducing the competitive candidate at a rally Sunday, the reality show patriarch not only attacked marriage equality as “evil,” but suggested that its supporters needed to be literally obliterated.
“Don’t you understand that when a fellow like me looks at the landscape and sees the depravity, the perversion — redefining marriage and telling us that marriage is not between a man and a woman? Come on Iowa! It’s nonsense. It is evil. It’s wicked,” Robertson told the crowd.
“It’s sinful. They want us to swallow it, you say. We have to run this bunch out of Washington, D.C. We have to rid the earth of them. Get them out of there. Ted Cruz loves God.”
I've never seen the show. I thought the people looked like barbarians.
This is just more Cruz's support wanting to move toward a Christian theocracy. Too bad Cruz was so deceitful not to mention immature and unprofessional with his "shaming" and threatening "voting violation" nonsense which does not in anyway speak of a "Christian" of the "normal" sort.
I don't necessarily approve of SSM BUT, it is the law. I do support separation of church and state. I mean, look at Islam as an example of what church and state as one equals. It isn't good. It takes away a natural balance and would not be religious liberty unless you belonged to one specific religious dynamic. Cruz is so of the devil.

Conservatives bring this up all the time as well as Obama opposing gay marriage. Clinton and Gore did as well.
The difference between them and Republicans on the issue is they didn't use it as a wedge, and they supported LGBT rights except for marriage. Republicans would go as far as to make homosexuality illegal entirely if they could get away with it and they wear their opposition to gay marriage on their sleeve.
