[pwb]

President Obama, I have only been married once.

Newt your reply?, Um, ah ,well, lets see, okay, I think, um, oops.

Next question, Mr President has your wife ever been a home wrecker? No

Newt same Question, Um, ah, hem, lets see, I think, um, oops.

Mr president have you been with your wife through sickness and health? Yes

Newt your answer, Um, ah, lets see, I think, well, good then.

Thank you that ends our debate.

Fox News Claims Newt to be the winner of the Family Council debate, Republicans all agree Obama is weak on family issues.

1. You forget. "Republican" means.............

......never having to say you're sorry.

(Not that Newt was ever sorry for how he treated his ex-wives)

2. I can offer questions for the President in that context as well

The President has claimed many, many times that all straight marriages are 'Sanctified by God' and he says that they each have a 'spiritual quality' that is denied to same sex couples. He says these dogmas are a result of his devotion to Jesus. I'd like to hear some specifics on that thinking. Jesus said that men such as Newt, who divorce and remarry, are 'whore mongers'. Does the President agree with Jesus? Jesus said nothing against gay people. Does the President feel Jesus fucked up, and should have slandered gay people? Is that why he talks 'sanctity' when marriage equality is mentioned, and yet never brings any religious dogma to the table around straight serial adultery, the use of prostitutes, paying off the former mistress?
Which of Newt's three wives is actually 'sanctified' at this point? How does God revoke that sanctity, and why? Why does your God follow the commands of Newt's dick, and unsanctify the old sick one and sanctify a new one for Newt? Is that how it works? Is there a fee involved? How does God collect that fee? What of the former Mrs Newts? Are they sent to hell, 'cause Newt got sick of them? Are they now like teh gay 'unsanctified' and without a spiritual element? If a former Mrs Newt remarries, is her new marriage also 'sanctified'? Is she married to both 'in God's eyes'? Is that a question for Mitt?
How many Sanctifications does each heterosexual get in a lifetime? Can they marry and divorce monthly, and each is Sacred?
If a Mrs Newt of the Month is upset at say, oral sex from 'another potential Sacrament' in a mall parking lot, can she also call off the sanctity? Does God revoke the status for her as he does for Newt's dick? Is there a fee?
Basically, Newt's presence makes Obama's rhetoric around the superiority of heterosexuals obviously false. What other excuses for discrimination can you come up with, other that 'we are just better than you'? Got anything that is not based on religion and disproved crap about Sacraments? Anything involving reason?

3. Try and grasp the big picture.

I won't argue with your point of view, I was trying to be less narrow, that's all.

4. Would you please provide the exact quote/citation of President Obama's comment?

I've seen frequent references to it but can't find what he actually said.

Thanks.

6. Thanks.

He didn't say in this video quite what he's been quoted as saying, but this was helpful.

Thanks.

7. He also said his opinion is "evolving". nt

[Merlot]

8. His opinion will continue to "evolve" into his second term

when he will then be for it,

He doesn't want to alienate core supporters who are still against it.
