Here it Comes: RNC Chair: Obama ‘Played Politics’ On Gay Marriage

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement follwing news of Obama’s gay marriage decision:

“While President Obama has played politics on this issue, the Republican Party and our presumptive nominee Mitt Romney have been clear. We support maintaining marriage between one man and one woman and would oppose any attempts to change that,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.

On the other hand, I suppose if you're going to deny some citizens their basic rights under the law, perhaps they shouldn't have to pay taxes? If you don't get to play, you shouldn't have to pay, right? That's just basic fairness, isn't it Mr. Priebus?

Even if the President has, in fact, played politics with this, and this doofus has acknowledged that...his statement plays RIGHT INTO President Obama's hands.

"We support maintaining marriage between one man and one woman and would oppose any attempts to change that. So listen up. Homosexuals. Yeah, you. DON'T VOTE FOR US! WE WILL ONLY MAKE LIFE MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU!"

All politicians do it. Anything a politician does can be linked to politics. The phrase "playing politics" is so overused.
