(550 posts)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!"
