Faux Conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck Supports Gay Marriage

HuffPo.com:

Elisabeth Hasselbeck has some surprising opinions.

In a two-part interview with Fancast, the conservative co-host of "The View" came out in support of gay marriage and described President Obama as "an incredibly cool guy."

"I am not ultra-ultra-conservative on every issue. I actually support gay marriage," she told Fancast in part one. "I think the gay marriage thing would definitely surprise people. I mean, for some people, it will surprise them to the point that they won't want to hear it. 'No, that can't be, I really want to have this sort of idea of her in my head,' so I sort of rain on their parade there. I am a person that does believe that life begins at conception, but I also don't believe that the government should tell women what to do with their bodies. So I'm torn there in terms of supporting laws [for or against abortion]. I always say I would rather change a heart than a law. I think it has to start there. Always trying to mandate, mandate, mandate this or that is not the way that I believe this country should run."

Hasselbeck said it would be more appropriate to describe her as a "Federalist" than a "conservative."

I've tried to defend Hasselbeck in the past, but no longer. From her condemning Arizona's SB1070 law to supporting Obama's Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor to just being a general airhead and now this, I've just lost all respect for her.
