No, those are the "theocrats" (a.k.a. "Republicans"). They want to model the US government after modern Iran.
I don't own a television.
What does that have to do with Kasich's bigotry? Are you trying to say that the HRC is lying about Kasich because they prefer Hillary to Bernie??? Does that even make sense? And what about the myriad of other sources which confirm Kasich's long history of bigotry? Are they all lying?
No, Kasich has NOT said he would not try to appoint judges who would overturn Obergefell. In fact, everything he has said indicates that that is precisely what he would do, should he ever be given the chance. What he said was that he would obey the law (presumably until he has the chance to change it to his liking) - as if he has any choice in the matter.
I have never understood why you worship at the feet of these bigots. You keep insisting that a man who says gay marriage is wrong (and who tried to stop it), who tried to stop gay adoption, who did block gay couples in Ohio from obtaining birth certificates for their children, who continues to oppose the outlawing of anti-gay discrimination, who says he is disgusted by your "lifestyle," and who is "amazed" that any school would teach that gays have contributed to civilization, is our friend.
Kasich is a disgusting bigot. Please stop pretending that he is some kind of gay hero, just because the Supreme Court has forced his hand. You did the same thing with Mitt Romney - insisting he was our friend when he opposed gays being permitted human rights. I don't understand why you love these people who want you to suffer grievously.
I would not consider taking rights away from gays "lifting everyone up."
And the only reason he expanded Medicaid in Ohio was because he had to - he didn't have enough money to fund the budget without it.
"Attending a gay wedding" is hardly a "test" for gay rights. He (allegedly) attended the wedding of a "friend" (he won't say who or where or when). A(n alleged) wedding that Kasich would have prevented if it had been in his power to do so. He said he was "very disappointed" by Obergefell. He said he wouldn't kick his daughter out on the street if she came out as gay - what phenomenal support!And agreeing to follow laws about which he has no choice but to accept is hardly "support" for gay rights.
The man who passed your "test" favors allowing people to discriminate against gays. He helped veto legislation in Congress that would have outlawed discrimination against homosexuals nationally. Thanks in part to that, it is perfectly legal in Kasich's Ohio to fire a person from a job on the grounds of homosexuality, or to refuse that person housing - positions which Kasich continues to support!
That's funny, since Kasich is readily comparable to Cruz on the issue of gay marriage; and your long history on this site has been of 100% support for Republican candidates and positions. I know you pretend to support Sanders because you believe Clinton is unbeatable by any Republican, while you hold out hope that some Republican might defeat Sanders. Your attempts to rehabilitate Trump into a human being have been humorous.
Somehow, you ignore the vast trove of readily available information which proves Kasich a homophobic bigot. But I am the person who doesn't read or listen.
The Twilight Zone needs a new lead character
The guy who doesn't watch debates - there's a lot of them
Then comments as if he's aware of what was said
but just for shits and giggles .......
Using "they" to describe any group - the Repubs - Blacks - Muslims - Women
is LAME
TVs have come down in price - a lot - you can buy used ones too - but if you refuse to get access to the debates I would ask that you refrain from commenting about candidates
Kasich isn't a 'bigot" and like term 'they" you throw it around way too easy which diminishes real examples - but you don't care about that
oh he's "not said that he would not" well that settles it - i guess since your default is "bigot' then you assume he will - that'd be on YOU
Kasich wasn't making any fans telling his gay story at the debate was he ? why would he tell it ? it's not something the audience in republican primaries wants to hear right ? try to think it through w/o your "bigot" lense
no he's not like Cruz and since you don't own a TV or watch debates you can't really comment intelligently
The "trove" that you miss is vast
Not sure why I even engage with the likes of you
You're the Benvolio equivalent - congrats
