Re: The ridiculous GOP answer on same-sex weddings
It appears that the new, burning, hard-hitting question that GOP presidential hopefuls are tripping all over is whether or not they would attend a same-sex wedding of someone they personally knew and cared for.
Here's what they've said.
Bush<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/04/28/how-jeb-bush-responded-to-the-gay-wedding-question-ive-never-gone-but-i-would/>:  Sure, if I care about the person.
Rubio<http://fusion.net/video/120998/marco-rubio-gay-marriage-jorge-ramos-interview/>: Sure, but I don't have to like it.
Kasich<http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/18/politics/john-kasich-president-2016-consideration/>: Yes, but I don't have to like it.
Perry<http://dailycaller.com/2015/04/21/rick-perry-i-probably-would-attend-a-same-sex-wedding-audio/>:  Probably.
Cruz<http://www.hughhewitt.com/senator-ted-cruz-on-iran-deal-etc/#more-26914>:  I haven't been faced with that circumstance.
Santorum<http://dailycaller.com/2015/04/16/rick-santorum-i-will-never-attend-a-gay-wedding-audio/>:  No.
Walker<http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/04/18/at-candidate-forum-walker-discusses-same-sex-marriage-of-a-relative/?_r=0>:  I've been to a reception, but not a wedding.
Jindal<http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/25/politics/bobby-jindal-same-sex-marriage/>: Sure, if I care about the person.
Fiorina<http://www.nh1.com/news/fiorina-to-nh1-news-i-will-be-announcing-candidacy-for-wh/>:  Yes, but only if it's NOT in a church.
This is getting ridiculous.
Here's the real answer:  if they had their way, NONE of these candidates would attend a same-sex wedding, because ALL of these candidates believe that same-sex marriages should be illegal.
So, you'll forgive me for not being impressed by a Republican presidential candidate who would go to a same-sex wedding for someone they know, when they oppose weddings for people they don't.
