"the state's Republican party has voted on a platform by which their candidates will stand, and it includes the reinstatement of laws banning sodomy: otherwise known as oral and anal sex.
The party's platform also seeks to make gay marriage a felony offense"

God said it. It must be true.Marriage Licenses – We support legislation that would make it a felony to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple and for any civil official to perform a marriage ceremony for such.
sexuality – We believe that the practice of sexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases. sexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. sexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should “family” be redefined to include sexual “couples.” We are opposed to any granting of special legal en lements, refuse to recognize, or grant special privileges including, but not limited to: marriage between persons of the same sex (regardless of state of origin), custody of children by sexuals, sexual partner insurance or retirement benefits. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose sexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.
Now who gets to speak for or interpret what God said or didn't say? Who is the arbiter of what is "ordained" or "not-ordained"? The Pope? The Mormon Elders?
Which governmental body gets to decide that?
I don't get this about some lesbians couples. One of them adopts the role that the other is supposedly turned off to. They hate dudes or are not sexually attracted to them, they say but dress all up like one, even change the voice to sound more masculine and of course have a big fat dildo strapped to their hps. Pretty ed up.
I thought only one repug apologized to BP and took it back.
Dems run California and they won't let them get married. I never met anyone that wants to put gays in jail. Don't worry butthole, it won't happen. Next time I can vote for s getting hitched, I will vote "yes".
Who cares what the they do...let them have their civil unions...let them fight in wars...sheesh...
"I don't get this about some lesbians couples."
Jack puzzling over lesbians.
Like a good bigoted retrograde, VERY interested in lesbians.
"only one repug apologized to BP and took it back"
that Repug was "the top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee" making a prepared speech, not an "open mic" gotcha moment or off the cuff. And he was defended by many in the Repug party and the hate media, esp Repug thought-dictator Limbaugh.
I know that they have to watch their language in these things but I've never heard of "fabric of society" being used as a euphemism for "butthole."We believe that the practice of sexuality tears at the fabric of society
Some can say you are the bigot the way you sterotype all repugs.
Repugs are stereotypical, group think to the max. and if you don't buy their extremist, insane bull and don't vote the party line, they purge you. And anybody who votes Repug is endorsing their insanities, intentional malfeasance, and national destructiveness.
Bigot. One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ. That's Butthole.
Not me. Let the gays get married!
Oh bull . Personally I wish the Republican party would give it a rest on gays and abortion, but that doesn't mean I have to support the Socialist Democrat party...
I think you mean Marxist Communist Socialist Democratic party...
The options of voting Repug or Dem are ugly, but obstructionist, destructive, war-starting business-friendly, anti-consumer/patient/employee/unemployed Repugs are repulsive. It's hard to be for either party, but it's extremely stupid to be for the Repugs.
America is ed.
To maximize national pain in an election year (usually hurts in bents more), the Repugs have blocked the extension of unemployment benefits and COBRA subsidy. So the long-term unemployed can both lose their homes AND health insurance.
So how long should we keep paying 80% of original salary for some of these people? Two years? Three years? Five years? A lot of those jobs are gone for good. Isn't it time for people to realize that and come out of unemployment/retirement and take a job thats available?
The problem with stimulus money going to "shovel ready" jobs is that you have to have people willing to use a shovel.
Hey, CC and I agree on something. I would say Two years, and that seems like an overwhelming amount to me.
Focusing on social issues is so re ed when you don't have the meat and potatoes in check.
it's the perfect time, if you want it to pass
If the Republican Party is so concerned with preserving traditional family values where is the section about ensuring that families can adequately provide for themselves without both parents having to work?
"Republican Party is so concerned with preserving traditional family values"
That's 100% bull hypocritical lip service to sucker in the "Christian" dumb s, esp their campaign contributions.
That was the post WWII social compact. One earner with defined benefits for graduates and union trades.
Fifty years of inflation, warfare/welfare statism and debt have changed the equation.
Two earner, eat and die if you don't make enough to feather your own bed.
