Jeb Bush, a likely Republican presidential candidate, called for "respect" of same-sex marriages on Monday as his home state of Florida began allowing gays to wed following a court ruling.
Bush, a former governor of Florida, said in a statement that even those like him who oppose same-sex marriage must "respect the rule of law" now that the state's ban on gay marriages has been ruled unconstitutional.
By acknowledging legalized gay marriage in Florida -- though stopping short of outright supporting it -- Bush has struck a more conciliatory tone than many of the other Republicans eyeing presidential runs in 2016.

Traditional marriage existing forever is what has been disrespected.
The votes of the people for that is what has been disrespected.
Judicially forced redefinition of marriage deserves no respect.
And Jeb, like your mom said, “we’ve had enough Bushes”.
“Bush, a former governor of Florida, said in a statement that even those like him who oppose same-sex marriage must “respect the rule of law” now that the state’s ban on gay marriages has been ruled unconstitutional.”
Guess what Jebbie, The Florida law bans queer marriage you moron! You need to respect that fact unless you can find queer marriage listed somewhere in the constitution!
FUJB!
He should follow Charlie Christ and just become a dem.
Shut up, Jeb. God calls homosexual acts “an abomination” in the Bible, and no where are Christians instructed to “respect” such actions.
Another reason I’m not voting for him, period.
Such “marriages” deserve as much respect as gays have shown for the institution of the traditional family.
Which Jeb Bush is now on record as saying doesn’t need to be defended because the political winds have changed.
And remember, this is guy who says loud and clear to every one he doesn’t want conservative votes to get elected President.
Biblical Eschatology in the making... America must come to a whimpering end before the stage is set for the final event of mankind... The Great Tribulation. Trust in Jesus Christ for your soul’s security before it is too late. Ask Him to forgive your sins and invite Him into your life today... your eternity depends on it!
The bushes say: all marriages are equal but more importantly all _gods_ are equal.
Well, Jeb - if you weren't dead to me before, you are stone-cold dead to me now.
That was a general plea to all who read...
Sorry - I respect states rights over gay marriage. But that would required taking a stand on principle - not likely for today’s politicians.
I feel the same way and it saddens me.
Alright, Jeb has officially jumped the shark for me.

WGAF what Jeb Bush says about anything? He may be a media darling and the choice of TPTB, but the base is (1)revolted by the thought of another Bush and the monarchical connotations that involves and (2) he’s no conservative... I’m not even sure he’s a RINO! He’d be better off running as a Dem!
Bush is looking for RESPECT from liberals.
I would turn it around and ask what are the conservative issues Jeb is for?
Jeb’s shine has worn off. He will not be the nominee.
I would no sooner vote for Jeb Bush than I would vote for Nancy Pelosi.
Appealing to his Base...The Democrat Party!
