    Default Turncoat Republican Senator Rob Portman

    Republican Senator Rob Portman has announced his support for same-sex marriage, saying he reversed his position on the divisive social issue after his son came out as gay.

    If his son was a polygamist would he then support polygamy?

    If his son was a mass murderer, would he then support that?

    Seems a little too convenient.

    We need to remind ourselves that marriage laws are part of the duty of states. Who suspects Cheney does not support his daughter? Portman backs his child too.

    Now, if the Feds get into this, one expects them to seek full counsel from all states and go with the majority.

    We miss the Senators working for states far more than we seem to think.

    Murder is not a valid comparison.

    ...
    Supporting a child and supporting changing laws are entirely unrelated.

    At least he is not a Catholic priest. Then he would be molesting your kids!

    Because you can still support your child while remaining true to traditional marriage, duh.

    No offense, but why is it not a valid comparison? I mean other than the fact that you don't like it.

    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard
