COMMENTS:
* But when the dictionary doesn't support his opinion, then he chooses to ignore it and whine and complain.
* Republicans dont like dictionaries because they give precise answers. They prefer to quote the bible and pick and choose the answer their audience wants to hear. There is a quote in the bible to suit all occasions .
* Marco is just a little spoiled boy having temper tantrumst on a daily basis. He has yet to,finish Nursery school
* The GOP is a hate group posing as a political party.
* A "bigot" by any other name is just as evil and hateful.
* I live in his crazy state and Marco is just an empty suit. All I heard from republicans in 2008 was the a one term senator was not qualified to be president. So in 8 years republican will admit they were wrong? never!

Marco Rubio Doesn't Like Being Called A Bigot For Acting Like A Bigot
If the shoe fits...
By Curtis M. Wong, December 21, 2015Marco Rubio doesn't like being called out on his opposition to marriage equality and other lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues.
On Sunday, the Republican presidential hopeful, 44, told "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson that he's fed up with being "called a bigot" for holding "traditional values" when it comes to marriage.
"Increasingly, Americans feel out of place, because it seems like the people who have access to power and influence win, and everybody else is left on the outside looking in," Rubio said. "People that hold traditional values are often described as bigots and haters."
Arguing that President Barack Obama has said that "people that don’t support same-sex marriage are wrong," Rubio then added, "I have been called a bigot for not supporting [same-sex marriage]."
Last week, the Florida senator suggested that if he is elected president, the justices he will nominate to the U.S. Supreme Court may roll back marriage equality.
"I don't believe any case law is settled law. Any future Supreme Court can change it, and ultimately, I will appoint Supreme Court justices that will interpret the Constitution as originally constructed," Rubio told Chuck Todd on "Meet The Press" Dec. 13. "I don't think the current Constitution gives the federal government the power to regulate marriage."
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines "bigot" as a "person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc." and a "person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group."
Seems like someone who favors unequal treatment of LGBT people would qualify, yes?
