yep. that was on full display in this thread too:
Was Obama 'hateful' in 2008 when he opposed gay marriage?

That's not the point. But, of course, you know that. I never underestimate the ability of a fundamentally disingenuous liberal to slither away from their rotten ideology when cornered.

So you're ok with her lying about her position just 6 short years ago? Or is she lying now?

I'll finish the sentence

I see no issue with politicians softening their views on the issue as long as they are Democrats.

Show examples where Democrats criticized Republicans for softening their positions.

Like most politicians, their morals are directly related to the number of votes they will get.

Interesting. Hillary, a Democrat is, in 2004, supporting an obsolete (in hindsight) position that many Republican Candidates support in 2015. I would argue that it is Conservative Republicans that have the harder assignment in the 2016 election: how to appeal to the LGBT community without angering the Conservative Base. Undoubtedly this thread was started by a Conservative Hillary Hater who doesn't grasp the fragility of the Republican Platform. Good. Carry on...

Huh?

[Oakformonday]

I don't think she is changing her position. She still believes in marriage. She is simply adding same gender couples to the fray. What is wrong with adding your fellow Americans to the platform?
