The media seems to be loving Senator Portman for his change of heart like he's now some enlightened thinker. HE'S NOT. He's a selfish clown. He had NO concern for the rights of gays until it impacted his family which seems to be the way that most Republicans come to support any sort of gay rights (Looking at you Dick Cheney)...only when their son or daughter comes out. Portman's "Change of heart" is a good thing, but his reason's a selfish. Not because it's the right thing to do, not because he empathizes with those who are different than him. He now supports marriage rights only because it impacts him directly. That's not courageous that is simple selfishness.
I'd much rather have politicians that ran this country not from their own narrow point of view and for what benefits them, but for what is right for America and the world and human beings.
