Carly Fiorina Says Kentucky Clerk Should Issue Gay Marriage Licenses or Resign [Cruz,Paul disagree]
The Christian Post ^ | 9/3/15 | Ray Nothstine

Posted on 09/03/2015 2:18:48 PM PDT by z taxman

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina offered her take on the growing controversy of the Kentucky county clerk who is refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses because it violates her religious conscience.

Fiorina spoke on Hugh Hewitt's radio show Thursday saying that religious liberty is clearly under attack but that rights of religious conscience is less clear when an individual is an "arm of the government."

"First, I think that we must protect religious liberties with great passion and be willing to expend a lot of political capital to do so now because it's clear religious liberty is under assault in many, many ways," Fiorina declared.

"Having said that, when you are a government employee, I think you take on a different role," she added. "When you are a government employee as opposed to say, an employee of another kind of organization, then in essence, you are agreeing to act as an arm of the government."

Fiorina, who has risen in the polls after a strong debate performance, is expected to be in CNN's Sept. 16 debate featuring top tier candidates, which is determined by polling.

While Fiorina excoriates Kim Davis, Cruz and Trump support her. Score another win for the whacko birds.

Scratch that, meant Cruz and Paul. Trump hasn’t come out on this issue yet.

Sorry she is just plain wrong. She was elected to this position and took the job under a different job description. She didn’t take the job expecting to “marry” two men or two women or two goats or whatever. http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3332688/posts?page=68#68

Trump is meeting/dining with Malysian dignitaries at the moment. Carly, not so much.

It’s time for someone to write Letter From Kentucky Jail. As a previous letter writer said, a law that is immoral is no law at all.

So only those with no religion can hold government jobs. She isn’t ready for prime time.

Fiorina’s position is that Christians should not hold government jobs.

Fiorini is a go-along-get-along.

Not what we want.

She knows the KY law was struck down, so that there’s now no law under which to issue marriage licenses.

Carly has made it easy. She just clarified the issue.

Thanks. Now I can eliminate her from all consideration. This the moment when we find out who is who.

Trump?

Thank God for people like Kim Davis and Ted Cruz.

Carly, please explain how this is different from states that are “shall issue” and “may issue” for firearms licensing.

Davis was elected and if the people want her gone they should use the legal remedies available to them.

If there was even the most remote chance this b!tch would have ever received my vote, this certainly cinches the fact she never will. Carly typifies the kind of worthless GOP-E clucks that have handed the keys over to the left for decades, leaving us now to the point of seeing our country rendered a lawless banana-republic, and now waging war on Christians.

The amount of bile-inducing contempt I have for these wimpy, surrender-at-all-costs GOP scumbags is now just off the charts.

Gotta have priorities. We can see where many of them have theirs.

Just like Jebby.

93 million Americans out of work; starving; can’t pay bills.

Jebby’s big issue: illegal immigration and how to legitimize more of it.

Also please explain why the president and sanctuary cities can choose to ignore immigration laws and not be found in contempt?

She was already eliminated when she came out in favor of keeping birthright citizenship for the children of illegals last month.
