Paul Ryan on Tuesday promoted
“traditional marriage” at a campaign stop in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Republican vice presidential
nominee touted such unions are “American values.”
“The things you talk about, like
traditional marriage and family and entrepreneurship, these aren't
values that are indicative to any one person, or race, or creed, or
color. These are American values. These are universal human
values,” Ryan said.
“And so what Mitt and I are offering
is an agenda of prosperity for everybody to have a chance to climb
the ladder and get out of poverty and in the lives of
self-sufficiency.”
“That's the whole point we're
offering with this five point plan,” he added. (The video is

Writing at BoxTurtleBulletin.com,
Jim Burroway noted: “Because, I guess, we can't be prosperous if
gay people are allowed to marry.”
At the Republican National Convention
(RNC) and again at the Values Voter Summit, Ryan lauded Mitt Romney
as “a defender of marriage.”
