Atticus, I'd ask you to take responsibility for the position of your candidate, if I could only figure out what his position is.

How are any of the quoted statements inconsistent with (1) states have a right to permit or ban gay marriage; (2) I personally believe we should not call it gay marriage, and would vote against any initiative to call it gay "marriage," but that's a done deal in my own state; (3) the Constitution says what it says about full faith and credit, and Congress has no power to change it; and (4) I am opposed to the Amendment because it (a.) amends the Constitution; (b.) intrudes on state family law; and (c.) bans civil unions?
This is pretty close to my own position, except I would insist that we stop having any government, state or federal, call the union between man/woman, man/man, or woman/woman, "marriage." As far as the government is concerned, we're all domestic partners and joint filers, period.
