And yet, the political press, when they’re not pretending Republicans are fully evolved and all that, let’s it all go after one easy question so they can quickly move on to questioning Hillary about why she’s abandoned her positions from 1992.

Well they can’t call them out because then Republicans will stomp their feet, throw a hissy fit, accuse them of being the “liberal” media, and then refuse to come back on the show.

I long ago decided that a “Gotcha Question” is simply something that the candidate doesn’t want to answer and hasn’t prepared to answer. The GOP doesn’t want to answer any questions about gay marriage…or pretty much any question whatsoever.

Ted Cruz’ answer was the most truthful I have heard from a Republican in years. He has never confronted the issue. He has no friends, gay or straight.

They can no longer rely on the old standby “gay marriages will destroy the sanctity of traditional marriages” response. They need time to come up with something else, I guess.

I hope they aren’t using the same clock that they use for producing an alternative to Obamacare.

I love the Daily Show but it’s funny how often they use blog content without attribution. This is not the kind of thing that would have occurred to them independently, I’m pretty sure.

Look, a lot of the Repubs have secret Gay fantasies and they don’t admit that either. They basically lie and deny themselves so its only natural for them to deny freedom’s to others.

Towards the end of this century the Repubs are going to finally give in and give Gays their due with some sort of super secret double freedom maneuver that will make up for them shitting on their fellow Americans for way over a century. Unless of course they are Mexican, Black, Democrats or have a heartbeat, then they will still legislate hate against them.

I thought they had- “This is a state’s rights issue”.

I just want to know how anyone who hates the US Constitution so much can be considered a patriot.

Just remember, while South Africa has a lot of abysmal LGBT treatment, they’ve had same-sex marriage a lot longer than the US has.

You’re right - though that one seems to be losing it’s luster as time goes on.

It is…amazing how things aren’t really going well for the GOP and the anti-gay brigade right now.
