I guess it shouldn't be surprising, but I still find it shocking when folks are willing to put their bigotry in writing.

Posted: 6/22/10 at 2:07pmThat is absolutely horrifying. And infuriating.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

The very first principal listed on page 1 sets the tone for the amount of BS to be encountered in the rest of the document. The Tea Baggers cherry-pick the US Constitution like it was the Bible. Number 6 is about legislating religious fundamentalism and I won't even touch number 4.
The entire Celebrating Traditional Marriage section (pages 6-7) makes me sick to my stomach. The Homosexuality paragraph reads like Mein Kampf. After 30 years of living in Houston, I rarely actually knew anyone who agreed with this crap.

How come the proud Republicans on the board aren't posting to defend this? Goth??
Maybe I'm being optimistic...but I think it's this kind of idealogy that's going to be the downfall of the GOP as we know it. It's becoming the party of crazy, old, white, homophobic racists.

On a positive note, the governor's race there now appears to be a dead heat.

Posted: 6/22/10 at 3:13pmIf the GOP is going to let their fringe define their platform, the Dems have to start using that platform to define the GOP candidates.
