CPAC Attendees Blast GOP Senator Who Announced Support For Marriage Equality

[ErikJ]

WASHINGTON, DC — Sen. Rob Portman’s (R-OH) decision to support marriage equality was not warmly received at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Friday...............

.............“Horrible!” said Tony Mele, an 88-year-old woman from New Jersey, of Portman’s decision. When told he did so because of his gay son, she responded, “That’s his fault! He gets no sympathy from me.” A pastor from Georgia, William Temple, told Portman to “quit being so selfish as to only think about his son,” and if he won’t reverse himself, “to step down and go home.” Another pastor, Rev. Robert Lancia, dismissed Portman’s point that we should treat each other according to the Golden Rule: “That doesn’t cover it.” One man, David Kern, even said Portman’s son’s choice of college turned him gay. “Well what did Sen. Portman expect when he sent his son to Yale?”.....................clip

1. What a sweet, charming bunch of people.

Portman is selfish to think of his son; going to Yale makes you gay; the Golden Rule doesn't apply....



Stupid, cruel and crazy pretty well sums up the "conservative" movement in the U.S. these days.

2. My gaydar went off for the Navy Chaplin

And the guy who spoke just before him at the end of the video. Oh well, back to the closet with thee.

4. Portman

What a sad bunch.

I don't think tri-cornered hat man knows the definition of sodomy. I doubt he has ever turned down a BJ from his significant other.

Why are so many so concerned with what others do in their bedrooms ?

How do their attitudes jive with 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness'?

How do their attitudes jive with 'Liberty and Justice for All'?

Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

Live and Let Live.

5. I love how these are the faces of Conservatives....

To think they once were able to convince.

6. Sad to say - BUT

Portman was saying the same thing only a few weeks ago!

So much love in that group
