I would lay long odds that upwards of 90% of the U.S. citizens taking Eich to task on this thread voted for Barack Obama.

So being opposed to gay marriage disqualifies you from being the CEO of a tech company, but not from being President of the United States.

That's a...convenient...position. Just not a rational one.

Personally, I don't think the government (and certainly not the Federal government) has any business being involved with marriage in the first place, other than providing a registry for the contracts and a court system to enforce them.

Voting for Obama doesn't mean you agree with his (former) stance against same-sex marriages.

Donating to Proposition 8? That does.

I don't remember when Barack Obama donated money to suppress gay rights.

[charlieh]

State Senators, U.S. Senators, and sitting Presidents don't have to "donate money" to suppress rights. They have more direct mechanisms.

Nice attempt to shift the goal posts, though.

You started comparing Brendan with Obama. If someone says it is different, you're complaining about "nice attempt to shift the goal posts". Kind of easy answer.

So, let me get this straight:

Giving money to politicians who are against same-sex marriage: bad.

Actually being a politician who's against same-sex marriage: perfectly fine.

Is that really your thesis here?

[bkor]

Nope, I haven't stated that. Your continued way of stating things that haven't been said won't lead you anywhere with me. Don't put words into my mouth. I asked to make clear comparisons. You continue not to do so.
