Daily Beast: Paul Ryan Now Pro Same-Sex Adoption
Daily Beast ^ | April 30, 2013

Posted on 04/30/2013 3:07:32 PM PDT by LonelyCon

Never mind! Paul Ryan has changed his view on adoption by same-sex partners, he told a town-hall audience in Wisconsin on Monday. In 1999, Ryan voted against gay couples, but now says he has reversed course on the issue. “I’d vote differently these days,” he said. “I do believe that if there are children who are orphans who do not have a loving person or couple, I think if a person wants to love and raise a child, they ought to be able to do that.” On same-sex marriage, he says he’s still opposed.

[I read this originally on USA Today, but we can't link to that, so I found this. Google it yourself for the whole story.]

So, let's see about those 2016 nominees:

1. Chris Christie
2. Marco Rubio
3. Paul Ryan

Maybe we'll get a real conservative after all if each of the GOPe favorites take themselves out of the running one by one.

This is INSANE. The main reason for supporting the traditional definition of marriage is the well-being of children. So Ryan now wants to keep the marriage definition but send the kids off to be raised by same-sex partners? Ridiculous.

Be opposed to same sex marriage but allow little innocents being adopted by them? Doesn’t make any sense.

Paul has become enlightened in Washington DC. Never mind the fact that research shows kids with same sex parents have trouble that have one of each flavor don’t have. The enlightenment has bloomed in America and you damn well need to get with the program.

No wonder liberal Romney chose him.

Ryan’s focus on cutting safety nets and entitlements helped derail Romney’s election. (A good thing).

But Ryan also costs us several seats in the legislative branch (A bad thing.)

This was the perfect storm. I don’t think we could have picked two candidates that could have done us more harm if the democrats were picking our candidates for us.

another one which has been listening to the homostapo and the establishment and the likes of Mccains daughter too much.

I grew up in foster homes and there was not one and still not one kid who wants two homosexuals to be raising them.

Seeing them in bed, touching each other, kissing each other etc, and acting as if they were a normal family

The whole point of marriage is for ids to be with a mother and a father and WHAT KIND OF CATHOLIC IS THIS GUY?

Seems to me that conservatives need to stop worshiping heroes and look for someone solid. All 3 you list were once the next great conservative hope and all have been disappointments.

DC, bordered on three sides by water and one side by reality...this proves it. Could there be something in the water up there? The whole place should be put off limits.

Sounds good to me. Let's just hope that conservative's memories are longer than liberal zombies' are.

Exactly.
If a gay couple wants to have a civil union, be financially responsible for each other, I don't care.
Where I draw the line is adoption.

as far as many down here are concerned then forget the wall with Mexico build the damn wall along the Potomac, let states run themselves and to hell with DC and the north east and the likes of Chicago, Madison, Detroit, etc.

What a great Catholic this guy is, next month changes marriage I bet.

If we had talk radio and our side speaking up about social issues ten we would not be at this point but it seems sex, whether feces or normal sex is the in thing with these dirty north east, DC elitist type scumbags

If he really believes this to be a positive for children, he and I have to depart ways. It was fun while it lasted Paulie.

Sooooooo give him a few months and he'll "come around" on that as well, what?

With psuedocons still claiming Romney was a ‘lesser evil’ in the face of all evidence to the contrary...

‘what difference does it make’?

I knew Paul Ryan was a fraud back when his big plan with Mittens was to “grow” us out of debt through unrealistic projections without actually cutting significant spending.
