McCain’s befuddled “position” says something about being against gay adoptions — Huh? [video]

”My position is: It’s not the reason why I’m running for president of the United States, and I think that two-parent families are best for America… I think that it is important for us to emphasize family values, but I think that it’s very imprtant to understand that we have other challenges, too. I’m running for president of the United States because I want to help with family values. And I think that family values are important, when we have two-parent– families that are of parents that are the traditional family…. I am for the values that two-parent families, the traditional family, represents…. Many of these decisions are made by the states, as we all know.”
