Gov. John Kasich on Gay Marriage: ‘The Court Has Ruled, and It’s Time to Move On’
Mediaite ^ | 06/29/2015 | by Josh Feldman

Posted on 06/29/2015 8:30:10 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Lots of Republican candidates are really up in arms about the Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling, and some are trying to fight back strongly against it. Mike Huckabee said states should outright reject it, while Ted Cruz proposed Supreme Court elections to push back against “judicial tyranny.”

But on Face the Nation today, likely GOP candidate and Ohio Governor John Kasich told John Dickerson, “I believe in traditional marriage, but the Supreme Court has ruled, it’s the law of the land, and we’ll abide by it.”

He implored people to just “take a deep breath,” and said there are plenty of other issues conservatives should be more focused on, like jobs, national defense, and “healing the division between races.”

Dickerson told him he sounds like he’s trying to avoid the question, but Kasich insisted, “I do believe in traditional marriage, but the court has ruled, and it’s time to move on.”

The Supreme Kangaroo Court has ruled that America is no longer a Constitutional Republic and you're running as a what?

Did the sheeple of Ohio vote on gay marriage?

I’ll “move on” from the GOP well before I’ll give up my values and my beliefs. Right now, that’s all I have left.

I’m not going to sell my soul just because some cowardly POS like Kasich says I need to “move on.” Much less five lawless degenerates on the SC, with their illegitimate ruling.

His statement makes two things obvious:

1. He isn’t a Christian. Christians don’t just go along to get along — and “move on”.

2. He is clueless about the fundamentals of America’s birth. If the Pilgrims and fellow travelers had taken that mindset on the other side of the pond, there would be no America. They sacrificed everything for freedom, most particularly religious freedom.

Nice that Kasich made the statement; we’ll have no qualms about kicking him to the curb.

"Time to Move on" is the catch phrase for the establishment.

That and "Get it off the table," as in Let's vote for comprehensive illegal trespass of our borders and get it off the table!

Yellow bastards.

Funny how a number of Freepers said the same thing yesterday. “Move on”, or agreed with those that did.

Well I suppose it’s another lesser evil. They lined up to vote for the father of Gay marriage in America 2 years ago afterall.

What issue has the GOP ever won?

What difference is there between a President Hillary or Moochbutt or Kasich?

he is not a conservative.

He is running to seek the Jon Huntsman vote in New Hampshire and hopes to be the “mainstream” alternative to the leading Conservative candidate.

Rush just made a good point.

In discussing these Republicans who are saying it’s the law of the land, time to move on, etc., he noted that the left never held the same viewpoint when queer marriage and abortion were illegal.

They won every issue the dems wanted. Which has been their intent for many years. They even campaigned this time on working with Barry.

Reagan slowed them down for 8 years but since then it has been a steady drive left until 2008, at which point they attacked their own VP nominee and joined the dems in all but name only.

At this point, anyone that still stays attached to the delusion it can be fixed, saved, or have feet held to the fire is as much a danger to America as any open democrat. And they run wild on conservative sites to keep us from coming together to stop them.

Be nice if they were stopped.

Well, I guess I can cross Kasich off my list of possible candidates to vote for in the primary.

I don’t know too much about Gov. Kasich, but he is evidenly a low-information governor.

As a side note concerning what the states can actually do concerning unpopular Supreme Court decisions, please consider the following.

When state lawmakers actually understood the Constitution that they swear to protect and defend, they knew that they could “overturn” unpopular Supreme Court case decisions by appropriately amending the Constitution. In fact, the 11th, 16th and 19th Amendments are examples of the states doing so.

On the other hand, the Court’s unconstitutional legalization of gay marriage tells us that the Supreme Court is as corrupt as the other branches of the federal government; it took patriots long enough to wise up to major problems with the RINO-controlled Congress. Activist justices undoubtedly made their decision to legalize gay marriage outside the framework of the Constitution because they knew that the corrupt Senate wouldn’t lift a finger to work with the House and remove them from the bench.

The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and activist justices along with it.

How do you think Jonbon got reelected so handily? With full state party support, is how.

Thats all you need to know about this POS.
