Dana Rohrabacher--Orange County's senior, career politician--is engaging in a Twitter dialogue about marriage equality with Brian O'Leary Bennett, a conservative Republican, public relations expert and gay activist who once served as chief of staff for Congressman Robert K. Dornan (R-Garden Grove). <\/p>\n
Bennett launched the discussion by applauding Rohrabacher--whose stances often abruptly shift between Phyllis-Schlafly-cold-war-conservatism and bong-hit-libertarianism--for opposing federal government intervention into state and local stances on medical marijuana distribution. <\/p>\n
The former Southern California Edison spokesman then asked the congressman to \"B consistent\" and \"B fair\" when it comes to supporting gay marriage. <\/p>\n
But Rohrabacher, who has always been barely one bus stop ahead of his own scandalous past, declined to accept the comparison. <\/p>\n
The Costa Mesa Republican, who first ran for Congress in 1988 on a now laughable term limits platform, claims he backs civil union contracts only for gay and lesbian couples. <\/p>\n
