Well forget what housing might new rules and this is what President Obama did did today the president is setting -- -- -- Becoming the first US president to come out publicly in support of gay marriage now the guys who want to be the next president reacting we're gonna be hearing from Mitt Romney on this very show tomorrow.
But first his sole surviving challenger Ron Paul with -- right now congress -- very good to have you what did you make of the president's.
Changes a stance on us.
Why I have no idea I -- it's probably politics is as usual I mean that he must think it's worth some votes and became not this particular time.
It's -- that figure I'll.
I don't -- -- I visited it is a libertarian point of view on this but is there are -- for against -- matches the map.
Well our our position is that still stay out of people's lives I would like to state to stay out of marriage I think -- should the something's.
That you do in a church me personally I would do it in -- church but.
Voluntary association should be interfered with by the state -- -- just assume that the state not issue licenses or be following married.
But the individual let two people they find -- And -- -- -- of people but it also would get rid of this whole debate we would be argued about the definition of -- -- I can have my definition somebody else can have they -- So -- C interference in the states.
That we see today that gives -- this difficulty.
Congress and Mitt Romney when he did address reporters earlier today in Oklahoma City lesson about this he was very terrorists of the Boeing didn't dwell on it -- left quickly.
-- -- -- manages -- and a man and a woman and left it at that.
-- -- -- -- Well I don't to have a problem with that -- And that's my personal belief not been -- -- for 55 years so that's my personal belief but that doesn't mean I should write laws in force other people.
Do except mice theaters I should set a standard and maybe people who want to -- but I don't like using laws.
To that mold people's behavior.
Not because I don't.
There and I don't think -- -- -- you might be could be improved its -- I don't believe that's the role of states.
-- is not to make people's behavior different.
I think yeah it's just -- offensive to see you then when the president goes out and says.
I'm not I'm gonna change the the policy or who might view of this -- -- Just a man and a woman could be -- and then a man or woman I don't wanna.
You don't like -- Anyway the state.
Declares.
-- -- -- -- Well there's some ulterior motives and out sometime its financial sometime in telling insurance companies what to do -- sometime it's you know.
Acceptance of these very side they're saying each that is both candidates and maybe beat by extension yourself but out of these matters period.
Well but I I just think it's more appealing to more people.
By not being so judgmental and making all these rules I don't like economic rules but I don't like rules.
Is social orders either -- -- -- the fact you can't force people to do any thing.
And you shouldn't be overly judgmental.
So you don't force people -- I don't want forced people and social conditions and more than an economic positions.
And I think things would be much happier in the world if everybody accepted the rejection of the use of force.
Gary Johnson the former New Mexico governor was here you got the libertarian nod as you might have heard.
We congressmen to talk was -- you.
Where else to to be either candidate and they then -- to him.
That you turn them down is that true.
I know I never had a requests personally made in the IE you know that vaguely heard people.
Talking about only Internet but no nobody came to me.
And asked -- -- because I was a little to raise funds still be you know Republican field late night elected twelve times as Republicans have.
I -- I think that.
They knew what the answer would probably.
What -- that you would say acknowledges his son was with me on Fox News the other day congressmen -- -- it does not paraphrasing here but -- -- it was is no way you'd be running.
As an independent party candidate is that true.
Well that's what I thought that's what I said all along I have absolutely no plans to do it so if you had your choice between if you don't get the nomination.
And would be herculean -- for you to get -- nomination.
You Mitt Romney Gary Johnson Barack Obama -- you vote.
Love still voting for myself because -- still the -- it could tell -- they did and that's about it is that the all right.
Congress and great seeing you again thank you very very much.
Thank you.
