crist set to be teabagged?

Thank you. A misspelling on my part. No, I wasn't confusing him with Obama.

I believe you're referring to this President:



"I believe God wants me to be president" is a Bush's statement that came during a meeting with Rev. Richard land, head of the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, in 1999.


[I was] "chosen by the grace of God to lead at that moment", is a Bush's quotation reported by Michael Duffy in Time magazine immediately after 9/11.


"God told me to strike at al-Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them" comes from a remark made by Bush to Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath, made to and reported by BBC News on Thursday, October 6 2005.


"I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job" is a Bush's remark to a group of Amish people he met with privately on July 9, 2004, and as published by the Lancaster New Era, July 16, 2004.

I think the most interesting thing was a documentary I watched. It'll be in theaters May 8th.

Outrage - In Theatres May 8th

My signature line is from that documentary and a quote from Charlie's second wife.

I gotta say, I agree he should be outed. His anti-gay stances make him an appropriate target. I feel for him that he can't be who he really is and stay in the Republican party, but marrying a beard isn't a good solution.

Are his stances really anti-gay? I seem to remember him being more understanding. He might have taken a stance against gay marriage.. but pretty much any politician these days that doesn't, doesn't get elected. Obama is the perfect example of this.

(what does "marrying a beard mean"?)

 

[beachmouse]

Beard- slang for a a spouse who knows their partner has no interest in someone of their sex/gender but marries them anyway because their partner needed to marry someone of the opposite sex and they enjoy the relationship for platonic or financial reasons.

Who's Kendrick Meek?

[Andy A]

Yes.



Coming from someone who flaunts his heterosexuality constantly.

If he had remained a "bachelor" and not involved multiple spouses and now children I couldn't care less. That and the fact that he has been consistently anti gay. You can self hate in private all day long, but once you start doing it with government authority you deserve your comeuppance.

It is really great to know you are so sacrosanct, SWGB. BTW, I didn't know I flaunt my hetrosexuality but I am far from being ashamed of it anymore than you are of your homosexuality.

Kendrick Meek

As a Florida State Senator, Kendrick launched an initiative to reduce class sizes in Florida's overcrowded public schools. Florida voters passed the initiative in 2002, and in Congress, Kendrick has supported legislation to ensure that funds are available to make smaller class sizes a reality.

A key player of our current fiscal woes. Now I know who not to vote for.

The simple solution would be to remove government from the decision then, so citizens needn't worry about politicians views on the subject.

I had an interesting discussion recently with someone, an ardent promoter of extending health and tax benefits at the federal level to gay couples, who felt the federal government should recognize gay marraige. My argument was the exact opposite but with the same end goal - equality - federal and state governments should not recognize gay marriage, nor should they recognize any other form of marriage. Unfortunately my reasoning was lost somewhere in the discussion. Now they think I hate gays. What can you do. I sense that maybe Charlie is being forced into a corner, and he's just a little too dimwitted to figure out that there's a real solution he could be promoting that doesn't involve him chosing sides.

 

[scooterbug44]

I don't care who someone's spouse/partner is, as long as they are of legal age, faithful, not employed by lobbyists, or an employee of whomever they are screwing.

Don't think either party or orientation can claim the moral high ground with that criteria.

I do apologize for the first sentence, that was the snark and it was inappropriate.

I guess it drives me nuts that Charlie is anti-gay marriage and then turns around and makes an absolute mockery of the it by marrying a woman and being a gay man. The hypocrisy is off the charts with him.
