As far as I know, Rand’s position on gay marriage is that he’s against it in principle, but wants to allow the states to decide whether or not to legalize it. So he won’t be in a position to legalize or not legalize on that level.

He is against federal imposition of traditional marriage, aka DOMA. He is evasive about DADT too, so he’s probably more okay with gay marriage than he lets on.

Like I said...it’s tolerable for me as long as he is openly against it, and does not advocate it or allow the gay marriage situation to progress further at any level of government. It’s far from ideal though, like temporarily staunching the wound while trying to save the country from fiscal disaster.

Wow, strange answer.

States don’at make federal law for gay marriage in the military, in federal employment and immigration, so you and Paul are avoiding the subject, Paul came out in support of gay marriage, he came out to end opposition to it.

Gay marriage is acceptable to you, that is why you call DOMA or a Constitutional amendment, “imposing” marriage on states, but gay marriage is not acceptable to conservatives.

Conservatives won’t be looking to support a candidate who is so anti-conservative, especially one that you even think is dishonest about how liberal he really is.

We only just finished a presidential election 5 months ago, it is far too early to be promoting the rino/libertarian.

Dem, consider how the country ever got to a position where it was able to embrace such an arrogance against nature.

I think the economic is much more then economic. It also is fundamentally enabling of arrogance, of living in a fantasy world.

I actually spent several weeks “working” (if it could be called that) in the belly of the beast. Shangri-la, if I didn’t care about producing anything good.
