Rep. Senator Roy McDonald on marriage equality

This was by far my favorite quote arising out of the marriage-equality victory in New York:

“You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn’t black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing. You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, f*ck it. I don’t care what you think. I’m trying to do the right thing. I’m tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I’m trying to do the right thing, and that’s where I’m going with this.”

He's actually a RINO (his predecessor Joe Bruno was sort of a RINO too but corrupt, arrogant, and a jerk) and a really nice guy but there are a lot of donors in his district from the Rockefeller Republican cloth who would have put their foot down if he went the other way on this issue.

But, but, but he's a Republican, I thought they were all evil?

Nicely done, Senator.
