He is giving his legal opinion.
He is NOT giving advice to ignore the ruling.
He is NOT giving advice to ignore the ruling.
Well that's the way Politico is interpreting it, and that's the way I interpret it as well.
If he has a larger meaning here, it's too subtle for me to detect.
“A man stood up..
what’s so frightening about him for you ???
A man sticks to his principles..
and that disqualifies him from being the leader of our nation ???
A man displays courage and integrity..
and youre not brave enough to believe he could go all the way ???”
You don’t read so well do you? I said in my first post that I admired him for standing on his principles.
Believing he could go all the way has nothing to do with bravery. I don’t think he can go all the way because I don’t think he’ll have the support. You think he does. Good for you.
I remember in 2008 the hot ticket here at Free Republic was Fred Thompson. I caught a lot of flack for pointing out that Fred never polled much higher than 12%.
In the end I was correct though.
A lot of Teds fellow Republicans hate him and they’ll gladly knock him down if they get the chance.
Guys like Rove are already taking shots at him.
So go ahead and Rah Rah for Ted. He’d make a fine president. That is provided he can get out of the primary and win the general.
Polls are for the satisfaction of the propagandist that paid for them.
Cruz is the only candidate that is taking in significant funding.
34 million to date.
Solid proof that he is on top by an insurmountable margin.
.
are you old enough to have been around in 1980 when President Ronald Reagan was running ???
This friend of mine is not a dummy. He is extremely well educated, Board Certified in an area of Law, and minds his own business.
He recommends we all send our tax money to Austin, Texas and have them hold its until we are represented by our elected representatives. If we are not, after a year, the money should be returned.
I don't know....that all sounds a little out of step,but normalcy bias has infected us all. With Roberts rulings the next Roberts impulse or divination may be worse than his previous dictums.
“I think this is going to mobilize evangelical Christians. Despite all the media propaganda, there is a majority that supports traditional marriage, across all demographics.”
I guess that depends on which stats you’re looking at.
I saw a poll that showed around 60% support for gay marriage.
Now I’d bet that it wasn’t that high before it was a done deal. But I think more people than you may think aren’t going to care about this at all after this news cycle.
Whether you want to admit it or not, the gay lobby has some power. Look what they pulled off in Indiana and Arkansas.
.
So concerned!

You need to turn off the Main Stream Media. Have you not figured out they lie about everything???
The pulse of We the People is different than what the Main Stream Media calls for.
It’s why Washington is trying to flood the people with illegal immigrants.
They KNOW they do not have the majority of the people support. So they are trying to destroy.
“Polls are for the satisfaction of the propagandist that paid for them.
Cruz is the only candidate that is taking in significant funding.

Yeah OK. The same way all those polls in 2012 were wrong and Romney was going to win in a landslide.
.
Romney never polled in front.
“are you old enough to have been around in 1980 when President Ronald Reagan was running ???”
Yeah I voted for Reagan.
That’s got nothing to do with now.
It’s not 1980. The culture has shifted left. Even the middle is farther left. Ted is going to have to peel some votes out of the middle. He’s unlikely to do it like this.
But again. I admire his stand on principles.
Trump as a politician is a obnoxious clown. Placing him on your tagline is an act of putrid enfeeblement.
“So concerned!”
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m not concerned at all.
You seem butt hurt because I won’t say that Ted’s going to win.
I just don’t think he has the support. If he does then great.
The internet has been a great tool to awaken people. Everyone has a chance to absorb a sampling of commentary of millions and judge for themselves which viewpoints are articulate and enduring.
Roe v. Wade of 1973 was a different world in terms of information access.
Also you may be ignoring the long fight against abortion on demand that has resulted in shutting down abortion clinics nationwide especially in Texas where a mere handful are still operating.
Cultural wars can last generations.
“Romney never polled in front.”
No he didn’t. But every conservative pundit and a lot of Freepers were insisting that the polls were wrong. They were just MSM propaganda. Romney was going to win. There was no way Obama could win a second term.
Turned out that was people selling themselves wolf tickets.
Romney got steamed rolled.
So ignoring reality because you don’t like it won’t make any difference in the end.
Voted for TPA.
Tagline.
Hoodwinked?
Well I’m sick and tired of hearing how some poll claims that over 60% of the American population agree that homosexual acts are moral and they agree with unreal marriage. It is fact that in all the states that voted on it, with the exception of Washington and Maryland, where leftist groups outspent the common sense crowd 10 to 1, that every state voted for real marriage, that is marriage between one man and one woman. Now we told daily that the vast majority of people have changed their mind in the last couple of years. Hogwash. This has been an orchestrated campaign by the God-less democrat party, funded by the democrat party, to try and show this nonsense down the throat of people with common sense. It is all about changing culture. Every bit of this homosexual acceptance nonsense is written in the communist manifesto. Let all the democrats and perverts that are trying to destroy marriage move to Russia. Putin knows how to deal with lunatics that are trying to destroy Christianity.
Which is how he got to be called a flip-flopper.
“Yeah OK. The same way all those polls in 2012 were wrong and Romney was going to win in a landslide.”
Polls in October 2016 do matter, though they are not totally accurate as we saw last November. But polls in June 2015 in a 16-way primary race where the candidates range from less than 1% to 11% is largely insignificant — particularly a national poll.
We saw in 2012 how many shifts there were in frontrunner status even before the first votes were cast in Iowa. So to compare the polls today with Romney’s numbers in October 2012 is an absurd comparison. It’s more than safe to say that at this point — the polls have very little meaning.
