Reply #7: The key: his personal views [View All]

"HIS personal views aren't necessarily the positions that should be imposed on states"

We shouldn't let them frame the Democratic Candidates on issues that the federal government has no jurisdiction. Marriage is a state by state thing. All states recognize a marriage between a man and a woman, not so much with gay marriage.

But more over the point here is he is leaving state issues to the state so the federal government can concentrate on federal issues.
The republicons talk about smaller government then want the federal government to tell the states how they should act on things like this.

Look at his answer again, it was an excellent reply.
