“Paul has already called on the GOP to abandon marriage and accept gay marriage and to move left on social issues.”

No. He only said that he would accept votes from people who disagree with his views about traditional marriage. He never changed his position or said that anybody should move left on social issues.

He just doesn’t think that the federal government should regulate marriage one way or the other. Maybe that’s not acceptable to you, but as I posted before, Cruz has the same position.

That post is full of a number of lies, Paul did not go public to make a position statement, that the GOP has to accept votes from people who disagree with their platform, that is a silly claim, they will accept any and all votes.

Paul was saying to call off the fight for marriage and social conservatism, he keeps repeating that message of “evolving”.

As far as someone running for president and taking pro-gay marriage positions, are you denying that there is federal law regarding marriage at the federal level that affects many millions, and affects the cost and size of government?
