I'm not a fan.
"Opposes gay marriage; supports civil union & gay equality. (Oct 2006)"
Sorry, but that is NOT equality IMO. If you ban two people from being married to each other, but not two straight people, there is not equality under the law.
He also wants a new AWB and a national CCW ban (except for LEOs). Both of those ideas have proven to do nothing to combat crime. Banning modern, semi-auto rifles would seem to contradict the 2nd Amendment and would almost definitely contradict US v Miller...but of course these are merely "reasonable restrictions" to fight crime. So says the "constitutional scholar." NO THANKS.
Your previous post that he does not have a plan for health care or stance on gay rights is false ..right? Even if you aren't a fan of said plans? Spin meister..lol.
My apologies. I had not done enough research on his health care plan.
His stance on gay rights is "sitting on the fence." He says he supports equality, but based on his statements, I don't believe he supports FULL equality under the law. Sure, it's a step up, but it's not equality.
