My point is NOT that gay marriage will necessarily lead to polygamy (nor was Santorum's). My point is, how in the world can we say to gay marriage advocates, "OK, we'll remove gender from the equation", and then tell polygamists "Sorry, we can't remove number from the equation"? What basis do we have to tell them that, that couldn't also be used to deny gay marriage?

THAT is the logic that just isn't there.
No, I meant "number" and what I'm saying is that removing gender from the equation does NOT mean we have to remove number from the equation, any more than removing race from the equation means we have to remove number from the equation. If it does, then why does it? Please explain that to me. Santorum never does. All he does is keep asking, "If it's okay for 2, why isn't it ok for 3?" and other such drivel. But like a great politician, he never gives a straight answer to anything he's asked (in this video), all he's doing is answering questions with questions, trying to steer the discussion to where he can give his little prepared position making a link between gay marriage and polygamy where none really exists.
