I wish someone would ask Portman "if your son came to you tomorrow and said 'Gotcha, Dad. I'm not really gay. Nananabooboo!' you would oppose gay marriage again?" Sounds to me like his convictions are rooted only in how they affect his family. Such convictions have very shallow roots.

Moron.

I don't believe you have ever run a business, Roy. You sound like a pointy-headed professor, all of whose theories work just fine on paper.

It's so easy to spend other people's money. I'm sure if you asked Americans whether they believe Congress should pass and the President sign a law requiring employers to buy Cadillacs for all their employees there would be overwhelming support for that too.

"Catholics are not "forced" to marry divorced people and they won't be forced to marry gays." Oh reallY? Then please tell me again about how Obamacare won't force Catholics to pay for that which their faith tells them is sinful. I'm calling BS on what you said. In the very near future, if homosexual marriage becomes normalized, churches WILL be forced to recognize and even perform gay marriages or surrender their tax exempt status...and they'll be lucky if the latter is even offered as an option.

"Our Consitution was written for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other." John Adams. Perhaps not an exact quote, but close enough. I would have added "...a moral, religious, and SELF-RELIANT people..." The founders expected American citizens to be self-reliant and responsible for most of their own affairs. It says so in the last four words of the 10th Amerndment.

I can say with absolute certainty that ALL of the best people you've ever known are conservative.

For an "independent" you sure talk like a wild-eyed lefty.

Voter fraud. It's easy to prevent and almost impossible to prove after the damage has been done.
