So I was right.
They did release a statement supporting the “individual rights” view.
And it was BEFORE the election.

Nuff said.
I guess the lesson is “Run for office and you get to lie about anything you want, because you will never be held accountable”
How much more damage can shrub do before he goes back to Crawford?
