Santorum wants Romney to use same-sex marriage as a weapon

[GeoFisher]

hahahahhahaha.

If gay marriage is permitted in the U.S. the government will go into deeper debt than it is already. Just think of the opportunities for fraud. I can go into the old folks home and marry a guy that's ready to pass just so i can collect on his social security benefits. Not to mention the tax breaks me and my buddy could get if we had a contract marriage. Soldiers can marry each other and collect separate rations and BAH and live in quarters instead of the barracks. Any veterans out there that would like to keep those retirement benefits going for a non intrusive male spouse? We could milk that SBP for everything they got. The government would go under. I chose not to vote for obama because he's stupid. It's the same reason I didn't vote for Hillary.

Yep..........But hey, didn't you know....we're FLUSH with cash. We're only at 100% of GDP. Last year was the first in the history of our country that we actually spent more money than we EARNED......

WOW.

Later,

It amazes me at some of the tunnel visioned beliefs that some have. To Each Is Own. We all have rights. The right to have children, adopt children, marry a woman or a man, gay, straight, bi, and all other rights. Did I ever think I would adopt a child from a foreign country, No, but I did. Did I ever think my oldest daughter would have a baby then decide she was gay, No, but she did. Do I think any less of my son versus my 2 biological daughters, No. It is 2012 and there are bigger fish to fry than same sex marriage. Are you going to love your son or daughter any less if they tell you they are Gay, NO YOU ARE NOT!! Get over it and move on to the topics that matter

So at this present time you cannot go into an old folks home and marry a woman that's ready to pass and collect her social security benefits?

You can't if she's collecting her deceased husband's benefits.

My luck I would marry some old man collecting his wife's social security benefits and ended up with nothing! That is incredibly gay!

Tim, the only hope I can see for you is for you to take her to your house, buy a truck load of Depends, and care for her until she kicks the bucket. Just make sure she had your name on her Will and bank accounts.

Rick Santorum is now encouraging Mitt Romney to use Barack Obama's recent statement of support for same-sex marriage as a political weapon. Santorum says that Obama's point of view shows how he is "very much out of touch with America's values." Of course I disagree, but then again, I'm of the opinion that there's no reason not to allow the monogamous marriage of gay couples. So I thought I'd ask: How potent of a political weapon do you think Obama's recent statement of support for same-sex marriage could be for Mitt Romney? Remember, I'm not asking how you personally feel about same-sex marriage, but rather do you think that people in general feel strongly enough about it that it's going to sway their vote?

Having left leaning relatives in Indy and Ohio, i think it hurts Obama more than it helps Romney. I think it was a desperation move thats backfiring.

Absolutely!

Could this just be a plot to jack up the economy? Think about it... all the fabulously over-the-top gay men planning a wedding? The florist bills, hors d'oeuvres, name-brand tuxedos, etc.
