Yes, I saw this. I suppose I could respond by saying that he thinks his marriage means more than millions of childrens' lives.
Republicans - The focus is on individuals wealth
Democrats - The focus is on society's wellbeing
And the question is why cannot the Democrats see how they work against the very thing that they claim to be for?

Republicans think charity at gunpoint isn't charity. I agree. So does Penn Jillette: "It's amazing to me how many people think that voting to have the government give poor people money is compassion. Helping poor and suffering people is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness.
People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered, and if we're compassionate we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint."
And who is going to be the arbiter of what is best for "society's wellbeing?" I prefer the free market, not Hitler.
So, let's refine:
Republicans - The focus is on individual liberty and the free market. <- the greatest plan for prosperity this world has ever known
Democrats - The focus is on self aggrandizement and spending other people's money. <- fails society every time
Liberals might have a good heart, but they're dumber than spit and end up destroying what they think they're helping.
