Does anybody else ever wonder what Congress does all day? All I see is random senators and representatives on MSNBC and CNN and Faux News complaining about how their party tried to do X, Y, and Z, while the opposing party shot them down because they are anti-American and they’re evil and they don’t wash behind their ears and they club baby seals and they cut off all the Do Not Remove tags on mattresses. So what are they doing and why does so little legislation actually get passed?
Enter: The Poison Pill, language tacked onto a bill which makes the bill un-passable by the other party while simultaneously creating confrontational talking points to feed to the media.
Where are the Log Cabin Republicans now? They were so hype to throw Obama under the bus yesterday because he endorsed gay marriage too late to affect Amendment One, but where was the outrage when Mitt gloated in that victory, saying he would never approve of same-sex marriage?
And where’s the outrage today, now that some of Mitt’s skeletons are coming out of the closet, so to speak? The Washington Posthas a great write-up about Mitt’s years in prep school. His biggest stumbling block thus far has been the fact that everyone universally regards him as boring and completely lacking in personality. Well, if the goal was to show that he is a real person and not a robot, job well done.
And I accepted. (Sorry Michelle, make way for the First Queen, boo boo.)
Fine, so the last half is just wishing, but nice job Obama. For once, Joe Biden and his big mouth have caused something good to happen. You know Obama would’ve never said this publicly if Biden actually put thought into his words before speaking. Still, it’s out there on record now.
I hope this doesn’t backfire. But OF COURSE the fucking Log Cabin Republicans have their claws out first, going on the offensive. Are you serious right now? Those self-hating fags can’t even be happy that the President of the United States just supported full equality.
Mitt Romney…::sigh::…what are you doing? I’m not even a Republican and I’m exasperated at the amount of ridiculous things coming out of your campaign. Who is running things over there? You need to check their pockets and see if there’s a Registered Democrat card in their wallet because clearly somebody is sabotaging you.
To be honest, just looking at Grenell’s picture kind of makes my skin crawl. He looks like every kind of overbearing, snobby middle-aged gay man at Hell’s Kitchen happy hours with “masc only” on his Grindr profile. But that’s not just me.
No one likes this guy. No one. Because he’s a dick.
This whole War on Women is based on Republicans suddenly finding it necessary to regulate Lady Parts. I’m pretty sure women were doing pretty well governing their own vaginas, but hey, I don’t have one. I’m unqualified to speak on the subject because I really don’t know what it’s like to have that kind of plumbing. Maybe women do need help reigning in those unruly things and Republicans are gracious enough to take on the task of Box Legislation.
If nothing else, they’re definitely staying true to their platform of smaller government. I can’t imagine governing something smaller than a vagina. I hope they don’t start giving me instructions for my penishead.
:-(
Anywho, Ann Romney and Michele Bachmann have recently come out as pro-choice! This is kind of a big deal. They’re fairly important in the Republican party (but not really) so having them taking the position of a woman’s right to choose is great!
Rep. James Lankford (R-OK) says you can fire someone for being gay.
