Why do we care?

Frankly my dear, I don´t give a damn.

Once he finally decides to come out of the closet and admit that he´s really a dimocrat, then he´ll also evolve on this. Then he and Lindsay Graham can get (bumper) hitched and live happily ever after.

For that non-talent to continue to be so full of himself...at such an advanced age...

words like ...hole come to mind

It sounds like he´s waiting for a price to be quoted.

Disgusting. Portman´s going down (no pun intended).

Exactly, #1 and #2.

What I find disheartening about these "changes of heart" is that they always seem to follow the discovery that one´s own child struggles with homosexuality (Cheney and now Huntsmen). Amazing how thousands of years of biblical truth and civilization´s guardrails can be tossed aside just because one´s offspring didn´t turn out as expected. Come on Huntsman, is it really all about you and yours?

As much as I oppose calling a relationship between two men " marriage", I think we have bigger things to worry about and unite against than whether Joe marries Jim.

For instance we could unite aganst Democrats. That is a pretty likely target group.

Oops - I meant Portman

McCains always been consistent on social issues. In 2010 he was the last man fighting the repeal of Don´t Ask Don´t Tell. McConnell abandoned the field.

It is sad to see a man like Senator McCain lose his way. I am sure that being a POW has had some effect on his brain, but maybe it is time for him to retire. He is not helping the GOP or his state or the country.

Totally irrelevant what this loser thinks.

It is clear that McCain has "milked" his POW experience over the last 40 years about as far as possible. I do not find that one bit worthy of admiration. His lack of humility over the years is so opposite of many veterans who sacrificed just as much for their country. At this point, he should be ignored. He is part of the old guard that does not intend to lead so they should step aside.

First part of the sentence in the title says it all.

Sen. McCain doesn´t think

McPain may have an (R) behind his name, it stands for RINO

He needs to retire and stop talking.

Convictions? Anyone heard about them lately. Just because a son or daughter is gay doesn´t mean a. you don´t love them anymore and b. you have to change your values completely.

Homosexual dads will soon be raising young sons they can introduce to the man-boy lovers groups, much like older generation dads brought their sons hunting and to the ball game. Nice.

I see McCain "evolving" on this issue. The political wind isn´t blowing just right yet.

McCain grandstands on every conceivable issue. He is not a Republican. He isn´t a democrat. He is just a publicity hog with a giant ego that is trapped inside a diminuitive frame.

Ms Lindsey Graham must be devastated.

Who cares what he thinks? The media. Which in McCain´s world is all that matters -- that somebody, somewhere think him a hero instead of the abject failure he´s always been.

#8 - Hear, hear!

We come at this from the wrong angle. Marriage, as it is currently certified in this country is a violation of church and state. When a clergy member signs the forms following the ceremony he/she is an agent of the government.

I´ve been to several weddings that were officiated by friends, siblings or mentors who were not clergy. So these folks went to a website that ordains people for a fee. They´re suddenly ordained clergy and they can legally officiate a wedding. What nonsense.

Marriage has two levels. The sacred transaction (church/spirituality/oaths and vows) and the business transaction (filing taxes/assigning next-of-kin/sharing benefits). The business transaction is the only part the government needs to concern itself with. For that it should be a civil union. For everyone. Even if you had a wedding in a church, you would have to get a civil union certificate in order to get the government benefits (again why is the officiant of the ceremony required to be ordained?). The sacred transaction would be between the couple and their church.

The problem we have taking the angle that we have is that, as seems more and more likely, once SSM is legalized, the next attack will be on churches that refuse to officiate such weddings. Take the argument away from the leftists and the government out of the church.

That´s ok, John. I´m certain you´ll be finding another situation you will be able to do your damage to Both WTP and US

Its over 16 yrs that we´ve know our 28 yr old child has same sex attraction, but that doesn´t change my steadfastness in obeying God, my faith & His commandments. No parent can sever our heart from loving & wanting God´s will for them, but it does not follow that accepting sin as a way of life makes me a ´more´ loving parent, no more right than allowing any other sin to be lived out with our active support.

Mr. Portman has the steadfast principles of a Supreme Court Justice.

Die!
