i don't understand. if he recently became a supporter of gay marriage (after having voted for a Constitutional amendment banning it), what's the hubbub? he said he made the wrong choice. what else should he do?
ReplyDeletethe point isn't that he needs to say or do something else. the point is that there's obviously some distrust and suspicion when a politician with fairly clear, well-stated views moves from one state to another and suddenly has a completely different set of views.
ReplyDeletei'm all for having a change of heart. but for harold fold, several change of hearts here seem awfully convenient. i think that's the point.
