All the problems we have right now...

[Bret Walker]

We've got problems with our education system. We've got a budget deficit of staggering proportions. We've got war in Iraq, war in Afghanistan, nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran, natural disasters we're still recovering from in the Gulf states, an elusive AIDS vaccine, bird flu, terrorist activity in Canada, gas prices spiralling out of control, and let's not forget the whole steroids issue and Barry Bonds' raping of our National Pastime.

BUT, what will our Congress be debating hotly over the next three weeks?

A Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage.

To (mis)quote Animal Mother from Full Metal Jacket, "All fucking Republicans must fucking die."

[Bret Walker]

By the way, the GOP are bringing this stupid issue up again, knowing full well they won't be able to scrape together 50 votes on it, let alone the 67 needed for a full constitutional amendment, and all for what? Because this is a mid-term election year and they want to bring out the grass-roots Republican voters in November.

Hey guys? How about dealing with some real fucking issues? In case you hadn't noticed, OUR NATION IS GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET.

i know isn't it ridiculous? it's so pathetic that gay marriage has more importance than education.

better to have a bunch of ignorant heterosexuals in the world i guess.... *heavy eye roll*

[Bret Walker]

And how about the Equal Rights Amendment? George is telling us that an amendment that TAKES AWAY the rights of Americans is more important than one that GRANTS rights to Women? Oh, that's right, the GOP are the Old BOYS Network. God forbid (and I'm sure He does in the minds of Right-wing conservatives) women should be on equal terms as men. Shit, why did Bush ban the God Hates Fags people if a week later he was gonna just spit in the face of Gay Marriage? I'll tell you why. On the one hand, the God Hates Fags people and their stupid leader, Fred Phelps, are protesting the deaths of American servicepeople abroad, saying that they're dying because God is punishing this wicked country for allowing gays to exist. George doesn't like bad publicity for his war. So while he takes away THEIR First-Amendment right to peaceful assembly, he THEN placates those same gay-bashers with this retarded "amendment." He's a complete manipulator, and a two-faced backstabbing jackass.

"There isn't anyone here who is naive enough to believe that the introduction of this legislation now, in two consecutive election cycles, is anything but a politically motivated effort to win votes by demonizing a class of citizens," said the Rev. Robert Hardies, a Unitarian minister.

Man, the more I read about Unitarians, the more I wanna join their fucking church.

I wish I were a halfway-decent cracker, I'd hack DNS to redirect whitehouse.gov to godhatesfags.com

[JustinP]

Yeah then we'd be the most famous punk band ever.

[jelly belly girl]

that would rock.

Your right our goverment should debate the murder & genocide of the unborn babies.We bush talked about saving trees or frogs maybe you would be happy.But why dosen't he talk about abortion?.............

[The Vonz]

Genocide? They're blobs of goo. How about instead of making abortion illegal, you make post-abortion sterilization mandatory?

[Bret Walker]

When is your birthday, Kerrysucks? I'd like to send you a dictionary.

Genocide is the mass-murder of a race, or GENUS. As in Genus-Cide = genocide. I'm pretty sure that abortion is a cross-culture issue. It's not like we're only aborting Jews or blacks or WASPS even. So get your terms straight before you bring your dumb debates to this table, KTHXBAI.
