"Conservatives are being asked to 'coalesce' around yet another corporately-funded candidate that says something very different at a big donor fundraiser in Manhattan than at a church in Marshalltown," Huckabee said in a statement released by his campaign Wednesday afternoon. "Shouldn't a candidate be expected to have authenticity and consistency, instead of having to look at a map to decide what to believe and what to say?"

HATS OFF TO TED CRUZ!!
For what business does the FED have with marriage? Where in the Constitution is regulation of marriage delineated under Federal control? Can the President have an opinion on it? Sure! Should the President demand Federal action/regulation on it? HECK NO! It is a states-rights issue!
HEY HUCK? is the gay marriage issue more important than (and if so, why):
The terror threat?
Border security?
Repealing Obamacare?
The economy/jobs?
Tax reform?
Huck? You’re a putz. Go home, you’re drunk!
Sad too as the previous poster said about those awful adoptions by the homosexual lobby.
