This will be the Agenda no matter who the GOP nominee happens to be.

Cain apparently doesn’t understand how the U.S. system of government works: “It could be overturned because there are already attempts by some states and some groups to weaken the Defense of Marriage Act.”

States can’t “weaken,” much less overturn, a federal law. Cain seems to have the idea that being the president would be like being CEO of a company: tell all the employees (congress and state governments) what you want done, no questions asked, and it gets done. Yet another reason why a successful businessman should never be president.

“If the Republicans gain the Senate and the White House, I actually fear what they might do.” – Plaintom

Why, I nominate Dick Cheney as president and his lesbian daughter as Secretary of State.

These self-called conservatives are willing to shred every principle they profess to support in response to their blind hatred of gays. States rights and individual liberty are simply the latest casualties of their cultural war. If the Republicans gain the Senate and the White House, I actually fear what they might do.

Does anyone else on this thread remember that Obama does not support same-sex marriage?

Cain is not ready for prime time, yet. As these two different interviews show. And, if a Republican is elected as president the gay rights movement will on. The hysteria of some people amaze me. I am not on the Democrat plantation.

Ray,
I’ll take that bet, see you and raise you.
I live just down the road from a former Nazi concentration camp.
We learned the hard way, a rung bell of freedom can very much – and quite easily – be unrung.

I don’t doubt for one second, if the Republicans win the presidency in 2012, the Supreme Court will be tipped at the first possible opportunity against us and, anti-human status amendment for us or no, the Supreme Court will set aside our human status for decades.

I truly cannot stand a black person or any person from a minority still suffering from systemic bigotry and discrimination, pandering to the very people willing to maintain it. If he can’t appreciate the danger in that, then he’s not the kind of person who deserves to be in such a powerful office.

Pandering to ANY kind of bigotry, (but too cowardly to call it that), is a disgrace.
I’m also sick of enriched businessmen thinking they can run a COUNTRY like a business.
You can’t.
Doing so is exactly why we’re in this mess.

He’s just pandering for every bigot he can get to vote for him in the GOP primary.
