“Can you imagine yourself in a situation where you reversed your decision as Portman has on gay marriage if a child of yours or someone you loved told you they were gay?” Raddatz pressed.

“I believe that marriage is the union of one man, one woman,” Boehner repeated. “It’s what I grew up with, it’s what I believe, it’s what my church teaches me.”

“And I can’t imagine that position would ever change.”

2. it’s what I believe, it’s what my church teaches me

There is a long list of other things his church surely teaches him,that he,as illustrated by his actions,thoroughly ignores....Why not this?...

3. Lack of imagination

makes for a homophobic, hidebound conservative asshole.

9. A lack of empathy, as well.

Chris Hayes had a segment on that, in regards to Portman's change of heart.

John Boehner is devoid of any empathy.

4. He's never been faced with the situation, so he really doesn't know how he would react.....

....but in the meantime, he should try really talking with a few GOP Tea-Nazis with gay family members who are far more conservative than he is.

5. Since Boner has a big family

I think he has 11 brothers and sisters, one or two may be gay. Hey Boner, any brothers or sisters never married? Boner needs to look deeper in his own blood line. John Boner listening to everything except the Constitution.

6. I can believe this of Boner.

And I can't imagine what it's like to go through life with a
tunnel vision perspective of the things that matter most.

8. Boner just loves his ignorance and bigotry! n/t

10. What does the church say about drunks?

Funny how church teachings are always so much more important when talking about OTHER people.

and a waste of perfectly good sperm and oxygen. I would be doing the world a huge favor if I just dropped dead.'"
