Liz Cheney Would Be Fourth Republican Senator To Back Gay Marriage

Where is "marriage" in the Constitution?

The ultimate stated purpose of the document:

"To secure the Blessings of Liberty to Posterity."

If there's no real marriage, there can be no Posterity, much less a Posterity that is Blessed.

As you promote the gay agenda throughout freerepublic, just as you are on this thread in defense of Liz Cheney’s candidacy which is titled “”Liz Cheney Would Be Fourth Republican Senator To Back Gay Marriage””, you should know that she is against a constitutional amendment to protect marriage.

Your path to gay marriage is a quick one, your support of the libertarian/leftist agenda is noted, again.

[ansel12]

What pre-Constitutional legislation regarding/referencing “marriage” was that, back in 1780?

Widow benefits for federal service, legislation added to in years since, 1794, 1798, 1802, and so on.

USED to LOVE Liz.....but “SAY NO TO LIZ”!!!!!!!!

[Ann Archy]

Noooo, it’s because of her LESBIAN SISTER!! IDIOCY!!! All DECENCY gets TRUMPED if your relative is a DEGENERATE!!!

[Ann Archy]

geesh... THAT is NEVER going thru...get real.

[Flavious_Maximus]

This is a deal breaker for me. I had defended her earlier in other post, saying she would probably be better than Enzi. I take that back. There is no way I would support her now.

[what's up]

there is no way that states will be allowed to ignore families that relocate or get transferred there by the federal govt, and military

They will continue to get Fed benefits but an non-gay state is under no compulsion to give state benefits.

Besides...the number of gay married people who work for the fed gov't and will be relocated is SO low.

Only 2% of the population is gay...even less are married or will get married (they are notoriously promiscuious) and even less have a federal job that will require relo.

Thanks for posting this.

Any politician who supports gay marriage supports infringing on the first amendment since that freedom is always attacked by gay rights activists.

[alstewartfan]

Just say NOOO!to Liz Cheney. Bob

[GeronL]

bump

cannot believe freepers would go for that

[matginzac]

She’s toast, I hope...
As much as I’ve liked her as a pundit, the pro-homo marriage does it for me.
What else would she turn on?
Good luck, WY....

[highball]

It sounds like she is a “Rubio Conservative.” We will find her true colors if and after she is elected.

...when it will be too late.

I love your screen name. It’s the nickname for male prostitutes in the P.I.

I don’t think that we’re on the same sheet of music.

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I support only traditional one man, one woman marriage. My emphasis for states to regulate marriage is because that’s what California’s legal majoritity voters wanted. It’s only because of pro-gay, PC interpretations of the Equal Protections Clause of Sec. 1 of the 14th Amendment by activist justices and CA judges that CA still has gay marriage.

Regarding Liz Cheney, again, Mr. Mark’s article wrongly implies that federal government can regulate / define marriage.

[ReformationFan]

I don’t live there but I’d never vote for her.

[Blood of Tyrants]

What about her position says that she supports gay marriage?

[RginTN]

Not all her beliefs are known. I admit I was taken in. Now I’m a skeptic about LC

  One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]
