I can see that this proposal will have all of these GOP nuts deeply sucked dry of any chance of feasibility.

[Kosh]

I'm willing to bet a lot of the GOP who pushed this are closet homos.

[BlueFlames]

Just a reminder, this is the GOP in Texas.

Hey, careful where you paint with that brush. Houston elected an openly gay mayor.

Shocker:  Not a GOP candidate.

My point was that if you find Republicans on the whole to be at least a little close-minded and/or crazy, they're worse in Texas, and there's enough of them to make some absolute lunacy a viable party platform.  I didn't say they'd sweep the state legislature; I said, "...they could probably get at least a few politicians elected on that platform," and intimated that the party in that state was crazy enough to try.

Take your pick, Republicrats or Demopublicans, the difference is that one is a little more open about their agenda.  I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that I like much of ANYTHING that the American Left has to say or wants to do, but I'm also not gonna sit here and circle-jerk with the Republicans simply because they oppose the Democrats.  It's bull**** political demagoguery that has gotten to where we are at right now.  All it really does is keep us distracted while they run up the debt and behave like the kings and queens of old that this country was founded to escape from.

Are you saying that Democrats secretly want to outlaw oral sex?

Mostly that's true, just in this case it's the Republicans trying to force their religious ideology on everyone. It does however make for an effective distraction as you've pointed out.

actually I think you just witnessed one of his rare 'spooky moments of clarity' where he makes a complete paragraph or two that is actually an accurate approximation of reality. what he is saying here is that republicans really don't give a **** about it, but are using it to distract people as they are taxed without proper representation.

[BlueFlames]

...without proper representation.

I have a feeling I know where this is going, but please indulge me with an explanation.

Which he's been having a lot more of recently.  Can't say i'm unhappy with it.

Eventually they will come up with the ban on interacial marriage again. Then you can just throw in the 'It's Nazi!' argument and you will have won.

Wait, what? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means, say, an african-american person and a caucasian person getting married, right?

There's something wrong with those people. The quotes in those articles basically said that gays were the spawn of satan trying to destroy the american way of like. F*ck that, gays are some of the most fun people I know.

No, he really means humans and vulcans shouldn't be allowed to marry.
