But it's NONE of the federal government's business

Not according to federal courts. It is a federal issue because federal courts with the aid of liberals everywhere have made it so. Therefore a Federal Marriage Amendment is necessary.

Jeb Bush is staking his claim for GOP establishment approval, and he'll very likely get it.

What the ever-compassionate and understanding Jeb Bush won't get is the votes of millions of traditional Republicans who see his comments as simply pandering to the left via his positions on gays and illegal immigrants.

For those folks, Jeb Bush is a non-starter. If this man is the best the Republican establishment has to offer, I'll pass.

We live in a democracy, and regardless of our disagreements, we have to respect the rule of law,

If we lived in a democracy, there would be very little by way of gay marriage. I'd say for the most part, the majority votes time after time to BAN it. Only to be overturned by the courts. If democracy is "majority rules", then this issue proves that our system is the farthest thing from it.

I absolutely hate how they all continue to claim we are a democracy.

Watching politicians try to triangulate every fringe group of malcontents and not normal middle class Americans is almost comical, ... almost.

No, it’s people that send liberal with R’s to DC that are the root cause. Because not one judge would be there gaying America without the assistance of the voter that contributed to his empowerment.

They elected the people that appointed these fascists. If they sent R’s that fought, there would be no judges legislating since they likely would never see confirmation. WHO CONFIRMS THEM??? WHO SENT THOSE PEOPLE TO DC???

Do a word search of the Constitution. You will find out there is no mention of “democracy”, at all. There is a reference to “republican.” I guess Bush the Lesser has no respect for the rule of law.

Given the existence of no-fault divorce, the view that a civil marriage constitutes a lifetime commitment is dubious.

Of course, perhaps Jeb Bush realizes this, and therefore is not really saying anything at all with this remark, but only appearing to say something.

Why can’t I marry my sons? I’m not interested in having sexual relations, I just love them so.

Actually might be a reasonable way to avoid the inheritance tax. The last surviving spouse marries their children and their estate passes along without the Fed's stealing their portion.
I'm sure this hole will be sealed shut (can't deprive the Government of their stolen money), but it shows where this absurd destruction of the sanctity of marriage leads.

You are correct. If we lived in a true democracy (sheep/wolves), all these new world order globalist elite power peddlers would be cooling their heels behind barbed wire.

Jeb Bush says something stupid.

Just another day of ridiculous Bush pontificating.

He really should work for Howard Dean.

I mean, more openly.

So in other words, a sinful life deserves respect. Do I have that right?

Well, he’s a Bush. They were born our betters. Like the Kennedys before them and the Clintoons after them, they make the rules for the little people to follow.

Hurl!

I will NOT vote for the handpicked candidate. If I have to, I'll write in Ted Cruz.

And those of you who will say I've wasted my vote or have handed the presidency to the Democrats — save it. I will not be browbeaten or guilted into voting for another liberal.

Of course most gays who “marry” head straight back to the bath houses after the honeymoon is over.

Marriage has not been a “lifetime” commitment for a long while

Another demonstration that the man has no backbone and no morals.
