Isn’t this all amusing. Obama gets to evolve on issues, he gets to flip and flop and then flip agian. He was for same sex marriage, then he was agianst it, now he is for it agian. The media praised him for “evolving”.

Ok. So then why can’t Romney “evolve” on RomneyCare? Why can’t he be for it then agianst it? Why isn’t the media praising him for “evolving”.

Simple. He is not a Democrat and he is not Obama. So the media allows Obama to “evolve”, but they will never allow that same privilage for Romney.

No media bias here! Nothing to see!

What is the real agenda with this gay marriage issue? It is becoming the No. 1 decisive factor in the country’s future… What a country, what a world… Someone was asking if I believe in conspiracy theories? No, I don’t, but how about conspiracy practices?

31 states seem to not be evolving either. ABC reporters are getting to bias for my flavor. I am sick of the lies and BS from this site

I’m all in favor of letting religious organizations define what marriage is according to their traditions.

In the United States however “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. Laws restricting marriage to the view of one type of religion are patently unconstitutional because it is prohibiting the free exercise of lots of people’s religious beliefs.

Even worse, governments and private organizations give specific rights to married couples that they don’t give to unmarried couples. Restricting marriages to heterosexual couples is again patently unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment because it violates equal protection.

“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

It is obvious that the time has come to end interference of government in the institution of marriage and extend the First Liberty (freedom of religion) to cover the institution of marriage. It is likewise imperative that the great tradition of this nation that All People are Equal Under the Law be recognized in allowing any two adults to form a union that gives them the same rights as others.

Romney is being a jerk about this. In the past he’s been in favor of these views, the only reason he is stating otherwise now is hypocrisy based on his need to appeal to a certain constituency.

in fairness, evolving or digressing. They are both entitled to their beliefs, without a reporter saying Romney is wrong or Obama is correct. Each is also allowed to change their opinions and voters are allowed to use this information to their advance their personal agenda. Better battle by the vote than by the sword.

Do not try to change the dial on your television set.

Zzztttt.

Romney does not change his mind. Romney is not a flip flopper. Romney is not the etch-a-sketch candidate. Romney does not lie.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programing.

Zzzzttttt.

All this discussion about gay marriage is irrelevant. As someone once said…”its about the economy stupid”. I am conservative, christian and could care less whether gays want to get married (not my place to judge anyway). But we need to get the government spending under control before end up back in the stone age….which if that happens, gay marriage, global warming, abortion, redistribution of wealth, etc won’t mean a hill of beans to anyone…especially those who won’t be able to afford a loaf of bread.

This “Gay Marriage” legalization opens the door to the legalization of Polygamy. Gay marriage, as far as we know, has never existed before in human history. Polygamy on the other hand, it could be argued was the first form of human marriage. The alpha male and the females under his protection. If gay marriage is legalized nationally, putting constitutional law over religious law, it would be hypocritical to keep Polygamy illegal. If you desire to put yourself through that abuse, one wife or husband is bad enough.
