Headline: "G.O.P. Senator Says He Has a Gay Son, and Backs Gay Marriage." This joker was anti-gay until his son announced his interests. So I'm a bit confused here. If Senator Porter's a Republican & aligned himself with their platform, how can he change his view on this matter? And what of his constituency? If THEY are have a penchant towards a decidedly anti-gay stance, doesn't he have an obligation to listen to those same voters?
Look at the hypocrisy of his position. A democracy is a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections. With the operative phrase for our purpose in that last sentence "a system of representation," Porter is supposed to REPRESENT his constituency, not vacillate as fits his whim & fancy.
So, where the hell he get the right to do what he wants & the screw over the voters?
The Art of Vacillation
