Republicans by and large oppose gay marriage and always have.

I'm supposed to see these two positions as somehow equivalent??


Fact is that I personally used to oppose gay marriage. Then I 'evolved' on the issue. So ****in' what?







Interesting.

So why was it wrong before but not now?

Republicans kicked Craig to the curb.

Why don`t Democrats show their POS politicians the road the way Republicans do?

He was behind the times. Now he's caught up. I hope the rest of the USA will as well.

Everyday is a new day folks. Progress is moving fast in this area.

That's why you are asking the wrong question OP. It's irrelevant and outdated- much like his views. Context is everything.

Not nearly as many folks supported same sex marriage in 2008 as they do now, at one time even I wasn't totally on board with it. So I'm wondering what your point is?

Obama was just being politically opportunistic. David Axelrod advised him to oppose gay marriage publicly even though he privately did not. Can you see the difference between me and a conservative? I'm actually smart enough to know all politicians lie and don't blindly defend them, unlike the Teabags pretending Bush was honest about the Iraq War

Perhaps, however it becoming common knowledge that he was/is an atheist as willing to lie about belief in God as he lied about being against same sex marriage.
