Rauch on Ron Paul

An island of domestic good sense, as usual:

"He seems to be opposing the military's DADT policy and anti-gay discrimination. In fact, he seems to favor the closet for everyone in the workplace, not just gays. Maybe he's just weird.

Given his age (72, almost) and party (Republican, sort of), give him some credit for maybe opposing DADT and definitely opposing the Federal Marriage Amendment. But rather than psychoanalyzing him, we need to get this guy to be specific. As president, would he support and sign repeal of DADT? Civil unions or federal domestic-partner recognition? Immigration rights for gay couples?

I doubt he's given it much thought. Let's change that."
