No one asks him if he will sign the RFRA on steroids sitting in the hopper in Ohio. So far they have not brought it up for a vote.
BTW his daughters go to the sister of a school that removed a radio personality’s “Graduates Hall of Fame” picture after he came out on the air.
“”“Everybody, chill out, get over it if you have a disagreement with somebody”""
That’s a very presidential example of problem solving. Someone tell this clown that surfer dude politics he isn’t.
“I would say, ‘I love you girls. End of it,” Kasich told a reporter
‘but please don’t dress in male clothing and use the men’s room’, he added while washing his hands…
They should ask him what would happen if his daughters at age, say, 14 got accidentally pregnant. And let’s not give him the out of saying it was by rape or incest but by the more likely road of screwing around with their 9th grade boyfriends. Would he insist they drop out of school and become teen moms?
This is not news. He has said the exact same thing for about a year now. But it also is not news because Kasich has no real chance of becoming the GOP candidate.
“I would say, ‘I love you girls. End of it,”
Course he’s say it like this:
“Kasich also said the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide should stand…‘I’m for moving on’…”
And should the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized choice nationwide stand?
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
So much for “moving on”…
“Why do we need to write a law every time we turn around in this country?” he said on CBS’ “Face The Nation.” “Everybody, chill out, get over it if you have a disagreement with somebody.” (OH Gov. John Kasich)
Sorry, Guv, but that’s too simplistic and easy. If someone’s civil rights hang in the balance, you damn sure better want to address it with a solid solution. Agreeing to disagree is okay in the abstract, but when real lives are adversely affected in substantial ways (or even no so substantial) there needs to be resolution. Laws, constitutional amendments and our court system are designed for just such situations.
Who cares if you attended a same-sex wedding ceremony – if you don’t approve of the actual right for that couple to marry, you’re a hypocrite. Grow a pair, man.
End of it.

I am never impressed by the “I attended a gay marriage ceremony once” claim. It’s about the same level of support as a similar remark I heard that “My nephew is gay and we let him eat with us at our Thanksgiving table.” That’s tokenism - not real respect for or acknowledgment of the basic rights and dignities of each individual.
McCain admitted that he would pay for an abortion for his daughters. I’m assuming Kaisch would do the same… if nobody knew they were doing it. His answer to the gay question indicates he doesn’t apply principles to himself and his family when reality intervenes.
The strength of conservative family values have never really been strong. They were part of Rove’s wedge issues and copy points which all the conservative hypocrites could rally around…not live by.
Most Republicans believe only in strong shareholder return…no matter what they swear is God’s truth.
Softening his language is a start. I get more angry about his anti-choice policies.

Exactly. Kasich just wants to be applauded for not standing up to object when the officiator asked if anyone in attendance objected to the marriage. His whole shtick is a load of crap.
“If my daughters came out as gay, I would say, ‘I love you girls.’ End of it. But if anyone else’s children come out as gay, they’re obviously deviates and should be dealt with severely, and I support such legislation.”
I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.
Though Kasich maintained that he believed in “traditional marriage…”
Phew! I was so worried. Why do straight people feel the need to keep saying this? Straight believe in “marriage” and so far as they’ve experienced that’s a man/woman marriage. Great! Yet they insist on assuming that all gay people naturally run ALL of their desires and hopes for themselves through the mind of a typical straight person’s brain, just to see “if it’s still ok”!!
Hey asshole! Gay people believe in traditional marriage too sometimes, but traditional for them is two same sex spouses! Yeah, I know, remarkable, huh??
The other news for the straights is that a sizable proportion of gay people aren’t aching to copy traditional heteronormative marriages at all, so you’ve been spared quite a number of gay wedding invitations after all!
Kaisch was strongly against the ERA which would have given all human beings the same rights as white males…including gays. Look at the wording. That’s all any voter needs to know about John Kaisch.
No one asks him if he will sign the RFRA on steroids sitting in the hopper in Ohio.
If his blithe disavowal of any horror at a daughter being gay reflects his true inner belief, then he’s a coward for not telling the bigots in the GOP to go stuff it.
If he’s simply pandering to the equal-rights people and in reality hates gays with a James Dobson-like revulsion, then he’s a liar.
Agreed. Here is what he said about his attendance the other night in a CNN family townhall:
J. KASICH: Let’s just talk about the elephant in the room. This is business of, you know, about – I’m a traditional marriage guy. OK, I believe a man and a woman. But I went home one day, I said, sweetie, we’ve been invited to a gay wedding. This was after the court. I said, what do you think? And she said, well, I’m going, I don’t know if you are or not.
And we went. And, look, here’s the thing. We may disagree with something about people’s lifestyles and all those kinds of things. We may disagree. But you know what? Let’s try to understand each other a little bit. What are we going to do, write a law?
Gee, how very noble of you John. You went because your wife made you and then you sat in judgment of the people getting married because you did not agree with their lifestyle. I guess that is sorta better than the other Republican candidates, but still not something we should be impressed by.
Kasich: not as completely bugfsck crazy as Cruz or Trump. That’s his entire appeal. He’s still a conservative republican anti-choice zealot, just not one who has been living on Mars for the past 10 years.
