I believe in real marriage between one man and one woman.
What Mr. Santorum forgets is that there is nothing in the CONSTITUTION that allows the federal govt. to decide this for us.
Next!
I’m with you — and what Santorum needs to understand is that his problem is not Cain per se. Santorum’s problem is that people just don’t perceive him as leadership material.
Leadership and charisma are harsh and unfair task masters - and hard to pin down sometimes. But Rick just don’t have ‘em. He’s right most of the time, a good man, a great family, and he did win in a tough state at one time. But he just doesn’t have “it.”
And nit picking Cain or Perry or anyone else won’t gain “it” for him.
Unfortunately, there is the “full faith and credit” clause,
and anyone who says this is a state issue is ignoring that aspect.
The feds either have to have a law that says a “marriage” in state X isn’t valid in state Y, or state X can “marry” 6 mixed gender freaks and several circus animals and state Y has to treat them the same as Bob and Marge next door who were married 35 years ago.
“What Mr. Santorum forgets is that there is nothing in the CONSTITUTION that allows the federal govt. to decide this for us.”
Sometimes that pesky ol’ document gets in the way of conservatives just as it does liberals.
You are aware that if we amend the Constitution we can do stuff that wasn’t in the original Constitution, right?
What Rick Santorum is saying that we should amend the Constitution to limit marriage in the U.S. to one man and one woman, and I agree with him on this. We should have done that back in the late ‘90s or in 2003-2004 when we had the chance to do it fairly uncontroversially.
I’m on the Cain Train right now, and I hope that he comes to his senses and supports a federal marriage amendment.
