Pence calls vote on Marriage Protection Amendment "a successful failure"

Congressman Pence, pictured above at a press conference held yesterday, joined 226 other House members and voted in favor of the Marriage Protection Amendment Tuesday afternoon.

Here is an excerpt from an Indy Star article covering the vote:

"Forty-five states, including Indiana, have either constitutional amendments banning gay marriage or statutes outlawing same-sex weddings. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., the leader of House conservatives, said the vote was a 'successful failure.'

"'We poured a little more concrete in the footings of a building that will be built,' Pence said."
