Jeb Bush tells Newsmax that when it comes to gay marriage,
I would prefer it to be a state-by-state issue. That’s how we have dealt with a lot of issues in the United States.
Well, sure, a sensible opinion. After all, that a gay resident of Mississippi should expect the same civil rights as a gay resident of Vermont is as prima-facie preposterous as a 1950s black man expecting the right to vote in just any old American state. How rude.
On the other hand, by the time of the Iowa caucuses perhaps Jeb will have taken the even bolder position of meeting gays more than halfway: their marriages can count as 3/5s of a "normal" one.
Republican visionaries, still building bridges to the 18th century.
