Loses me at "opposes gay marriage". Why the fuck are we still even taking a stance in favor of government ordained marriage one way or the other? The way forward is to reword "marriage" to "civil union" and let people figure it out for themselves from there. Government ordained marriage is a blatant violation of the First Amendment as marriage is traditionally a RELIGIOUS practice. How people want to identify their bonds is THEIR business. No one gets to deice who is and is not allowed to be married least of all, the fucking government. And no, don't come at me with "muh nuclear family values" crap. People need to choose those values FOR THEMSELVES and no amount of government programs is going to force people to accept the straight, monogamous, evangelical Christian Conservative lifestyle as the ONLY way to live. Quite the opposite as we have seen.

If you use government to force complacence to your ideology, you are the bad guy. Period.

Otherwise, everything else this guy has done makes sense to me. All things considered, he is the best possible pick, but needs to change his tune to "Abolish Government ordained marriage". That should be something every freedom loving American recognizes as a big fuckin mistake overall.
