Wait, who is being divisive on gay marriage?

"If YOU make us look bad, that's divisive!" (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) The GOP's great hope, Marco Rubio:

Rubio said he disagrees with what he sees as the president's use of issues such gay marriage and student loan rates for the purposes of re-election.

"Every week, it is an effort by this president to divide one group of Americans against another group of Americans for the purposes of getting him reelected," Rubio said.

Ah yes, equality under the law is divisive! But only when Democrats start gaining the upper hand. Because there was nothing divisive about Don't Ask Don't Tell, or the Defense of Marriage Act, or the anti-gay marriage initiatives that Republicans pushed in 31 states.

Republicans have built their entire movement on dividing people'they hate San Francisco, and Chicago, and Massachusetts, and gay people, and Muslims, and Latinos, and African Americans, and young unwed women, and single moms, and the Girl Scouts, and atheists, and big city folks, and Volvo drivers, and latte sippers, and foreigners, and rap music, and Hollywood, and feminists, and nature lovers, and on and on and on and on.

Conservatism can't function without an internal enemy, and they're not shy in creating them.

But to spend the last 15 years passing anti-gay marriage legislation and initiatives in as many states as they can, and then whine about it when public opinion starts turning against you, is the height of absurdity.

But Rubio has never been above such things.
