I liked Ron Paul until I heard he supports gay marriage.

    I was going to vote for Ron Paul..but on these latest debates he has been asked about Gay marriage. He responded by saying that the government can't tell gays not to marry. What the hell? Why not? It's Unamerican, Unhealty and disgusting.
    As you know im no freaking liberal. I believe in God and good morals and im against Gay marriage. Ron wont come out and say that he is against gay marriage..he keeps saying they can do whatever they want. Really? can people marry dogs too under a Ron Paul presidency?

    In our so-called "modern" society is that really an issue? Look, GOD says they will all burn in HELL, why should we worry? The ultimate authority has spoken, what's some candidate compared to that?

    That's not true at all.

    Quite hilarious indeed.

    Probably because their heads are still twisting around over the homophobic rantings written in his old newsletters that bear Ron Paul's name.

    Jedimiller,...

    So let me get this straight...

    You somehow think it's your right, and that of others, to interfere with the personal life of adults who wish to marry with each other.

    Somehow, you think that "minding your own business" is unamerican?

    Then you are a hypocrit and Ron Paul is not.

    Typical "religious" conservative *we don't want government telling people what to do, except when it's to push our values on others*.

    In my opinion, because its "It's Unamerican, Unhealty and disgusting", and because you believe in God, are not satisfactory answers as to why Gay people can't get married.

    It should be a non-issue. I don't understand why it is even talked about. I like women, however, what's to stop me from marrying a dog? The same thing that stops gay people from marrying dogs.

    Destroy the sanctity of marriage, and you might as well marry your tractor, buddy.

    Marriage is a legal document between consenting adults, it should not be a government issue ever, it should be left up to the individuals in question to bargain about the specifics of said legal document.

    When you talk about the sanctity about marriage your just referring to the government forcing a set of preferences on people when it comes to legal technicalities, I dont see how this type of law or legal document is sacred anyway. I think if Jesus was alive he would tell people to generally mind their own business and let consenting adults do what they want.

    wrong. the government should have some control over people's stupidity. that's why we have the ten commandments. Should you be allowed to kill? Should you be allowed to hit your wife? it's between two consenting adults? it's nonsense. and I don't see why this was moved, PF is bias now. this is being ignored by RP supporters. how can you say that you can't tell people what to do and that they can do ANYTHING they want? that's just stupidity. What if I find a consenting adult that likes getting beaten by a bat? that ok with you people?

    Do you actually know any gay people personally? I know a guy who is gay and he is actually a very nice guy who works hard and wouldnt hurt a fly and I feel sorry for the fact that he is gay, he is not to blame for his own gayness, it is a disease that he has because of his genes mixing up in a way so that he ended up with a male body and female brain. He should be pitied, not punished.

    End of your argument right there.

    The law is secular. Ron Paul is a real conservative, you are not. That's fairly clear.

    You want government out of peoples lives, until its time for you to try to force your own morality onto them. Typical bull.

    what the heck is wrong with teaching morality? doesn't cost anything..the government gonna charge you taxes? good manners and good right and wrong choices should be taught by the leaders of any country..religion or not. it's what gives a nation a character. obviously you dont know your history, because most americans in the past in government wanted to teach good morals. Yeah, I know a gay guy..hes cool, but that doesn't mean he's getting a license to get married.

    He could very well be against gay marriage, but he believes such matters should be left up for the states to decide and the fed government should remain neutral on such issues.

    Why cant two adults decide what is best for them? We are talking about two people who consent to live in their lifestyle, a dog can not consent, or any other animal or a child, homosexual marriage does not open the door to those type of marriages.

    Second, as a christian you should know and read the bible, god tells you over and over that only one person may judge other people, and that is God, not you, not your priest, no one but God. Also it says that all sin is created equal, every time you sin, you are no different than they are.

    Third, America is home of the free, not home of the free who believe in christianity. While I may have my own opinions about homosexuality, it is not for me to tell anyone how they should live so long as I am a sinner, and do match up to God.

    Please, please, please, I implore you, stop worrying about those things that have no meaning in society, and get behind a candidate that really can change America for the better.

    i love how the op says he used to support ron paul........UNTIL....lol

    he said its not the role of the federal government to tell you who you can or cant marry..

    so dont say he is running around saying he absolutely 100% endorses gay marriage..

    so you can go back to supporting ron paul now?

    Regardless of why, I can see you are loaded with homophobia, ignorance, irrational animus, fear, anger and hatred. Some of those characteristics are intertwined... but I'm not going into that here.

    No one should listen to you, or tolerate what you're saying (whether YOU 'believe' what you're saying or not).

    Have a great life.

    Like monitoring YOUR internet activity, and shutting YOU up? Yeah, I think you're correct. :(

    I don't have to be any alpha-Christian, to know that you've sinned more times than you would know or admit. Please, don't be a blatant hypocrite; it's certainly not representative of Jesus Christ (not by any means). And the very OP you submitted, should make anyone wonder how "Jesus" has actually influenced you as a person. :(

    Would the killing be necessary or justified? Or are you talking about being an abject murderer. If it's the latter, then most HUMAN BEINGS (not necessarily "God") will see to it that you are shut-down ASAP.

    Some "Christians" would say yes. (They'd be nutcases though.)

    No, it's DOMESTIC VIOLENCE... not sexual activity. That you would compare criminal assault with sexual relations show how far off-base you really are. One word to describe what you're doing here: "FAIL!"

    Ron Paul is who he is; take him or leave him.

    Gay sex is hurting WHO? Can you answer that?

    There you go comparing violence with "sexual" activity, which it generally shouldn't be. You are simply misinforming people, and no one should tolerate your doing so.
