It's hilarious that its actually generally considered less morally bankrupt to clone someone than polygamy is. Which means its more acceptable to find and marry a hot young lesbian, clone her a couple of times, then have a freaky orgy with her and the clones.

Wait, what?  This is complete nonsense.  Two points:

1)  Plenty of people find the idea of human cloning (regardless of reason) to be abhorrent.  (Personally I think that's silly, but that's not the issue)  It's not a major issue at the moment since it's still largely theoretical, but you've seen how the religious right reacted even to stem cell research.  The very premise of your statement seems flawed.

2)  How is what you described not polygamy?  How can  anyone find it 'more acceptable' than polygamy when it includes polygamy?  Or do you not consider clones to be people?

I'm all for criticizing 'traditional marriage' proponents, but let's do so by sticking to facts.  When you start making arguments like the above then you're as bad as they are.

Holy fuck  @ comparing humans formed in labs from replicated genetics to reproducing with multiple partners.

Holy fuck

There is one thing that you have so far failed to realize. There IS an actual survey out there that I'm referencing here (or that the Colbert Report was presumptively referencing since that's where I saw this on) and that if you have a problem with this then you are bringing it up to the wrong person.

Besides its not polygamy since its all with the same person. I just have to make sure I marry all the clones since the afore mentioned survey would have my hide if I was cheating on my hot sexy wife with one of her clones since adultery is considered to be the worst offense on said survey.

I love me some ridiculous moral double standards.

if we allow gay marriage people will want to marry their pets next, i'm going to push the red button! BOOM!

I'm homophobic, and I couldn't care less about gay people getting married. They can fuck their asses all they want... I just don't want to be there.

...eww. ;<

How on earth was I supposed to know you were talking about an actual survey?  You provided no reference, nor did you even mention what your statement was based on.  And you're still being incredibly vague about the contents of said survey, how it was phrased, conducted, etc.  In fact the only detail that you provide is stating that it may have been mentioned on a comedy show.  Surveys are not universal truths.

What you actually stated was of the form: most people feel X, and I stand by my original response to that.

Besides its not polygamy since its all with the same person. I just have to make sure I marry all the clones since the afore mentioned survey would have my hide if I was cheating on my hot sexy wife with one of her clones since adultery is considered to be the worst offense on said survey.

So if I'm dating somebody and I screw her identical twin sister that's not cheating?  Score!
