Marco Rubio is right about something. Stop the Presses!

“There is no federal constitutional right to same sex marriage. There isn’t such a right. You have to have a ridiculous reading of the U.S. constitution to reach the conclusion that people have a right to marry someone of the same sex. . . ."

Okay, technically that is true. There is no right to same-sex marriage in the Constitution. There also is no Constitutional right to opposite-sex marriage. There is no Constitutional right to drive a car or walk your dog or wear white after Labor Day.

What there is is an "Equal Protection" clause, which means that if I'm allowed to drive my car, you're allowed to drive yours. You can't say my next door neighbor is allowed to walk his dog because he has a cool German Shepherd but the guy across the street with an ugly rat-dog is not. And if Bob and Jane are allowed to get married, so are Jim and Hank.

It's not that complicated.

there is also nothing in the constitution that says "h8 your neighbor for the color of his skin"; but rethuglicans do that every day!

The mind of Rubio, as well as the minds of most Repugnicans these days, is sick and twisted and resembles a small, very tight, locked box for which a key cannot be found!

What bothers me is that the SOB presents a pretty good "image" and a lot of folks get fooled by that.

He's a liar, a compulsive conservative and would be a disaster anywhere near the White House.
