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

That is absolutely horrifying. And infuriating.

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.

While I LOVE Perry's hair, I'd have to vote for White. He looks like that police chief on Law & Order: SVU.

If the GOP is going to let their fringe define their platform, the Dems have to start using that platform to define the GOP candidates.
