re: Senator Paul to Speak at Berkley

quote:

---

Paul opposes letting gays and lesbians into the military, would repeal most gun-control legislation and says states should be free to ban same-sex marriage. Until recently, he opposed all abortions, though he now has suggested that he is open to "exceptions" that may include when the mother's life is at stake.

Gays in the military became a settled issue with the repeal of don't-ask-don't-tell, and Paul has given no indication that he wants to relitigate that. Gun control is a political loser for Democrats, which is why they avoid this issue like the bubonic plague in general elections. And if Obama is willing to let gay marriage be settled by the states, why is it wrong for Paul to do so? Abortion is the one issue that he might have trouble navigating and I pointed that out earlier.
