Again, why not allow gay couples to get married, and afford them the opportunity to lose half of their money when they get divorced a few years later?
After all, doesn’t it seem as if most marriage usually end in divorce. The U.S. divorce rate is around 50 percent.Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a huge proponent of same-sex marriage, has once again taken issue with those who opposed gay marriage, namely GOP presidential candidate and Senator Ted Cruz, who has just filed to bills in the Senate that would do just that.

Days before the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments on same-sex marriage, Senator Ted Cruz has filed two bills to protect states that bar gay couples from marrying.Cruz’s legislation would establish a constitutional amendment shielding states that define marriage as between one woman and one man from legal action, according to bill language obtained by Bloomberg News.
A second bill would bar federal courts from further weighing in on the marriage issue until such an amendment is adopted.
Cruz, like his amigo in the Senate and presidential primary opponent, Senator Marco Rubio, is trying to win over those God-fearing, gun-loving, Bible-thumping Evangelicals, who stayed away from the voting polls in the 2012 general election.
Whomever wins the “religious Right” vote could eventually win the Republican presidential nomination.
For the most part, Mike Huckabee won the Bible vote in 2008, but this time around, the field of GOP presidential candidates vying to win this coveted vote is a lot wider.Like I said, Cruz and Rubio are trying to win this group’s support, as are other potential GOP presidential hopefuls like Gov. Scott Walker, and former Governors Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry, who are all expected to jump into the race.
In the coming months, you can expect me, your lovable little fuzzball reporter, to travel to Iowa and South Carolina with camera and Bible in hand, in hopes to catch up to all of the 2016 Republican presidential candidates.
