Top 10 GOP 2016 Weasels: All Supporting Anti-Gay Laws

Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN)

(What was that question again about IN being an anti-gay state)

The headlines from this article:

Where the GOP's 2016 Contenders Stand on Indiana's New Anti-Gay Law

And, yes, the IN law is anti-gay ... by any standard ... people can discriminate all they want for any reason, except not while serving the public with public benefits of being part of the public. To do so is disgusting and in some circles patently racist and folks, this is not the 18 or 1960’s, either!! So get over that.

So, where do to the 2016 GOP hopefuls stand. Based on what they said, or didn’t, I’d have to say not very firm ground. Read the article and see for yourself. All they are doing is pandering to the Bible thumping crowd. There is nothing wrong with that crowd, per se right? You know, “Love thy neighbor” and the other hypocritical horseshit … the only question for those IN law supporters is “How do they get the shit back in the horse?” (just like the line from that very funny movie: “The Distinguished Gentleman” (1992): Character Olaf Andersen says about the horseshit his side generated: “Now the question is, can we get the shit back into the horse?”).

Here is the scoreboard of the top 10 GOP contenders:

1. Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL): Argued that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was not discriminatory and simply protected Indiana residents' religious beliefs.
2. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL): Said that punishing a business owner who religiously objects to gay marriage would violate that person's religious liberty.
3. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX): The only declared candidate in the Republican field for 2016, released a statement urging supporters to stand behind Pence and the legislation he signed.
4. Gov. Bobby (only his reel name) Jindal (R-LA): Strongly backed the new law, arguing that the backlash from businesses and celebrities proves that "religious liberty is indeed under attack" in America.
5. Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI): Wouldn't tell a reporter from WISPolitics whether business owners who object to serving certain customers on religious grounds should have the right to do so. (he needs to check with his benefactors: the Koch’s first).
6. Former Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX: His spokesman said the former governor supports the Indiana law.
7. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY): One of his advisers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
8. Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR): Said that Indiana's law doesn't allow for discrimination and instead protects against discrimination based on religion.
9. Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ): His spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.
10. Billionaire Real Estate Mogul Donald Trump (R-NY): Did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Further, I guess, no GOP-Rightwinger or staunch Bible believer is or ever has been gay, right? Well, alrighty then.
