There's never a "right way" to bear false witness, either, brother.
You accused me of putting words in your mouth, but that is exactly what you are doing with Gingrich.
Here's the full quote: "I think at least they’re doing it the right way, which is going through voters, giving them a chance to vote and not having a handful of judges arbitrarily impose their will. I don’t agree with it, I would vote, ‘no,’ if it were on a referendum where I was but at least they’re doing it the right way"
I'll repeat myself again:
His comment was not an approval (Or legitimization) of gay marriage... he says very clearly that he is not for it and that he would vote “no”.
His comment was a condemnation of pushing an agenda by judicial activism.
It amazes me that people are either so lacking in reading comprehension, or so dishonest, that they can completely mischaracterize a solid conservative position as liberal one.
Yes, yes, yes, we all know Gingrich is NOT for gay marriage. But he thinks that an evil (gay marriage) can be legitimated by the political process. Substitute slavery for gay marriage and see how this sounds. This is precisely why his statement made news in the Wall St. J. You need to take issue either with the writers of the Wall St. J article or have Gingrich retract what may have been a misimpression but don’t defend the indefensible.
