93. Yes, I was blocked for refusing to throw former President Jimmy Carter under the bus.

Tue Oct 6, 2015, 02:49 AM

Oct 2015

Jimmy Carter, like Bernie Sanders, was on the "States Rights" train -- in Jimmy's case, regarding Texas's acceptance of gay marriage. He invoked their right to decide--just like Bernie did in the video at the OP.

My view was that he's come a long way for a 90 year old man, and he's still evolving. I wasn't going to excoriate a former Southern Baptist born in the 1920s for not quite having the bubble on this issue. I felt confident that, because we were at that tipping point where most states are favoring gay marriage, that TX wasn't needed to tilt the argument in the Supreme Court. I'm happy I was correct.

It's plain as day, my POV, and easily researched.

Full stop, end of story!

Thank you so much for bringing that up so I could clarify the matter --your post was a call out, despite your protestations... but never mind.

You will never know because I will never tell--at least not you. Never have, never will. MADem Oct 2015 #237

I don't think Bernie ever opposed SSM jfern Oct 2015 #16

Where is the part where he said he opposed same sex marriage like the blogger claims? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #21

Civil unions are not marriage equality. Civil unions are a lesser choice, and that is what he said MADem Oct 2015 #23

Point out the exact part of the video where he says he opposes same sex marriage. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #24

I am not going to keep repeating myself, over and over. MADem Oct 2015 #27

He was asked if he supported *****same sex marriage****** MADem Oct 2015 #39

Where did he say he opposed same sex marriage? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #40

He didn't say he supported it and that's bad enough uponit7771 Oct 2015 #177

He voted against DOMA in 1996 - he supported marriage equality. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #196

NOoooooooo....he has SAID he voted against DOMA because he thought .... wait for it... MADem Oct 2015 #242

Please point out in this transcript where he said he opposes same sex marriage: beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #243

He ducked the question. He was asked about equality and he pivoted and failed to answer. MADem Oct 2015 #249

So he never said that he opposed marriage equality and the blogger lied. Good to know! beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #250

He was asked if he supported *****same sex marriage****** MADem Oct 2015 #251

This isn't about that video--it's about the one in the OP. nt MADem Oct 2015 #151

Ah, how convenient. You can imply Bernie didn't support ssm but Hillary is off limits? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #152

I am not implying a thing. He was asked a question. He answered it. nt MADem Oct 2015 #154

I think the implication is all of our candidates have "evolved" a bit. Agschmid Oct 2015 #158

Start one if you'd like. I'll be the first to say, flat out, that HRC was slow out of the gate on MADem Oct 2015 #217

That was not the question that Sanders was asked Chitown Kev Oct 2015 #215

Kev, listen to it again. He was running for Senator of VT. The questioner was asking him about MADem Oct 2015 #216

I'll grant you that that's another legitimate way to look at it. thesquanderer Oct 2015 #270

He was being a politician. And that's fine. He was playing the "art of the possible" MADem Oct 2015 #272

If he had been saying that in 2000, before CUs became law in VT MADem Oct 2015 #276

He was merely stating his record. thesquanderer Oct 2015 #279

It still doesn't square well with the question asked, which was about marriage and legislative MADem Oct 2015 #282

Yes, we agree he ducked it. thesquanderer Oct 2015 #283

There is no issue that he supported those things. MADem Oct 2015 #284

It doesn't matter that there was no issue that he supported these things. thesquanderer Oct 2015 #285

No, the overstatement is in the "I was always there, I didn't have to evolve" MADem Oct 2015 #287

I provided an alternate reading for that, in post #278. thesquanderer Oct 2015 #288

p.s. thesquanderer Oct 2015 #289

He was consistent in his view that DOMA was a matter for the states, as well. MADem Oct 2015 #290

Did he say "Civil unions--not marriage equality" or are those your words? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #30

He was asked if he supported same sex marriage. He answered that he supports MADem Oct 2015 #41

So he never said what you claim, that he opposed same sex marriage? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #44

Actually, they are. All state recognized marriages are civil unions. Each and every one. Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #51

Exactly. It was a yes or no question. By saying he supports civil unions, his answer was no. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #115

Bingo--that's precisely it. It's de rigeur to not use "negative" language in debates. MADem Oct 2015 #119

Wrong. He never said he supported one over the other. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #122

Yes he did, by asserting he supported civil unions when asked if he supported ssm. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #126

Where did he say he supported one and not the other? I must have missed it. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #130
