The Empathy of Mittens

[Psychic Octopus]

But isn't that what all opponents of Gay Marriage think, at some fundamental level? If you are someone who opposes gay marriage, there's no real way to answer an "emotional" question like that without coming across as a prick. Not that I'm defending Romney, but even as someone who supports gay marriage, at least his response is consistent with his professed beliefs.

Hey NiK, have you stopped beating your wife?

Not married. Now if you have a legitimate response, feel free to post it.

You asked how would I respond to the question that Mitt was asked? That's how.

The question asked of Romney is the same sort of question. It assumes what it is trying to prove. It assumes that Romney is trying to do X, just like my question assumes that you've beaten your wife in the past.

That's what I was implying in my first post. The question was asked with the purpose of being unanswerable by Romney. Romney's response is natural, since he doesn't have any response that could satisfy their question. But at the same time, the question posed is legitimate if aggressive, since opponents of Gay Marriage don't really care about how gay couples would justify not being married to their kids.
