This is so wrong:
 
First, could someone tell me and, especially you Rick, what this has to do  
with election law.
 
Second, your headline is not even close to even describing what the article 
 said.
 
Third, the only statement that arguably reflects any statement I made in  
the article is this one, of course ignoring everything else I said:
 
"Jim  Bopp Jr., a conservative Indiana delegate on the platform, said the 
old platform  language on same-sex marriage is no longer appropriate since 
last year's  landmark Supreme Court ruling that allowed same-sex couples to 
marry  nationwide."
 
Here the CBS Reporter failed to report the detail of my statement, making  
it grossly misleading.  What I said was that the sentence in the 2012 GOP  
platform that calls for states to adopt putting traditional marriage in their 
 state conventions is now obsolete because of the Supreme Court decision. I 
then  said that what we need to add to the platform, because of the Supreme 
Court  decision on same sex marriage. is to call for that decision to be  
overturned.
 
Fourth, right after that paragraph, I said:
 
"This  won't change the core of the issue, Bopp told CBS News."
 
So, come on Rick, what a ridiculous headline.  Jim Bopp
