Joe Biden's Gay Marriage Comment Was No Gaffe

Great job, Susan. Playing political games with the freedom of gays and lesbians is apparently "brilliant" to you. If his opinion is "evolving" on the matter, how come it hasn't changed ONE INCH in four years? It doesn't take much evolution to go from "no" to "yes". It's pretty simple. Luckily there is a candidate that isn't afraid to stand up for EVERYONE'S freedom no matter what people think. Gary Johnson isn't scared to stand up for gays and lesbians and their RIGHT to marry.

Dedra Minor of NJ writes "Gary Johnson is a strong 3rd party candidate and he’s on the ballot is all 50 states"
BUT:
"With his name already slated to be on every state ballot in the country in November, the next step is to be included in more national polls so he can work toward achieving the 15 percent needed for eligibility in the Presidential Commission debates with Obama and Romney, a goal even he admits is far-fetched."
"The pie-in-the sky scenario here for actually winning the race is to be on the debate stage with Obama and Romney," said Johnson.

As Gore Vidal once said, “There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party…and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat.” Believe me, I would never want to see Mitt Romney in the White House but I believe it is time to put more than two parties’ names on the political dance card. Gary Johnson is a strong 3rd party candidate and he’s on the ballot is all 50 states.

Although I strongly agree with third party candidates who fully endorse marriage equality, I will not vote for them in this election. They almost surely will not win- that is not pessimism, it is reality. By voting for third party candidates, you are only decreasing Obama's chances of winning. That is all third party candidates do- they throw off votes for the main party candidates. Because I am a firm believer in equal rights and it is an issue that is very important to me, I will be voting for President Obama. We cannot risk losing everything we have gained by having Romney enter office with his ever-changing allegiance to today's conservative Republican Party. Our president will be Romney or Obama. I urge everyone to think the reality of politics through before voting for third party candidates if gay marriage is an issue that is important to you.

While President Obama’s position of gay marriage is still “evolving”, the Libertarian Party Presidential candidate, Gary Johnson, has been consistent in his support for gay marriage. Lesbian and Gay voters should support those who support them – Gov. Gary Johnson.

FAUX CATHOLIC BIDEN....
"absolutely comfortable" with gay marriage.
Oh, there's a news flash.
I have a question for apostatical Catholics like Biden, Pelosi and Sebelius - "Why don't you just join a subjective religion that is accommodating to people who believe "their god" is OK with murdering the unborn for the sake of hedonistic, personal convenience and changing the definition of "marriage" to suit the "evolving" morality of relativists."
After all, there are thousands of "I have my own personal god" religions out there - But Catholic Church is not one of them.

Obama, Biden, & Cabinet Members, are not one the same page ? They are not in the same play book !
I think that Obama will replace Biden before the
Election.
Mr. Biden's disease is making it more difficult
for Biden to keep up with Obama.
Biden's disease has gotten much worse the older he gets, it is treatable, but he would not be able to walk, with hobbles, the other treatment would be to wire his jaws.
Biden has Hoof N Mouth disease.
