Restating your misstatements doesn’t bolster the claim.
Newt has stated the factual situation.
States have voted both against and for gay marriage.
If you believe in states rights under the 10th Amendment, and if there is no constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman, this is how it is. These are the facts.
If you read the rest of this thread and step out of your personal echo chamber, you will see that he stated actual truth and his actual beliefs...against gay marriage as a concept but realizing certain state’s voters have voted for it.
That you would attack that and make misstated claims about his motives causes us to question your motives.
Rick Perry holds to exactly the same thing as Newt said, before he ever ran for president and after he got out and while he was running.
There’s no other rational way to look at it.
Read the thread.
Also, tell us how Santorum is going to stop the referenda in states, when he doesn’t agree with the outcome.
Do tell us.
I believe in a constitutional amendment to define marriage.
There isn’t one.
Those are the facts.
Like CW said, like ‘em, hate ‘em, facts are facts.
Suppose a company has operations in multiple states; believe it or not that happens.
Some states say you have to respect gay marriage, another state says you don't. Now what?
de facto recognition of gay marriage is what.
So the end result is the same; either the courts knock traditional marriage referendums down or business reality makes them moot.
Mr Gringrich understands this better than anyone on this board.
I aopologize about the "knucklehead" remark, I really do like all you guys.
