Rush Limbaugh: Iowa’s Gay Marriage Decision Is Like The Soviets. I kid you not. The GOP leader Friday, said, “For how many years were they talking about gay marriage? How many years were they talking about demonizing the SUV? That started in 1995. Here it is 14 years later, and they’re on the verge of doing it. Liberals don’t stop. It’s like the Soviets.” Yeah. Right.
