Oh, the crazy groups politicians have to ally with to secure their party's nomination. It's sickening.

Day of Prayer and Fasting.

1) Set up loudspeakers to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer.
2) Have a gigantic barbecue. Outdoors, so everyone can smell it.

I see nothing wrong with what Gov Perry is doing, and I don't have a problem with AFA even though I'm not a religious nut like they appear to be. They are entitled to their opinion like anyone else.

Doesn't he have fires to put out?

Meanwhile, in other pandering news...

Santorum reiterates his support for a federal constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Why do you care?

 

[HomerJS]

All people in this country who care about equality for all should care

 

[JS80]

All people in this country who care about equality for all should care

You mean people who want special treatment?

 

[zsdersw]

Why do you care?

Because fringe groups on both the left and right have far too much influence over party primaries.

 

[thraashman]

You mean people who want special treatment?

I find it sad that you think equal rights is special treatment.

 

[zsdersw]

You mean people who want special treatment?

You don't have to support gay marriage to be against a federal marriage amendment.

 

[woolfe9999]

You mean people who want special treatment?

Because not wanting to be discriminated against = asking for "special treatment." By this logic, white hetrosexual men have been getting "special treatment" for hundreds of years now.

 

[JS80]

Affirmative action and special laws for specific groups of people = special treatment.

I am personally against government interfering in marriages and in fact don't believe they should be involved in marriage at all. It's none of anyone's business if a church decides to marry people. I am against any laws accommodating or prohibiting marriages. Or legislating buttsechs.

I know the gay community loves to blame evil right wing republicans for their oh so horrible lives ( :roll: ) but it's blacks and Mexicans holding them back.

Fantastic. So you don't support this proposed amendment, then?

Actually, I find it sad that you consider special treatment to be equal rights. I'm 100% for equal rights, not for special treatment.

 

[JS80]

I will only support an amendment that bans ALL marriages. So no, I do not support this amendment.

Rick Perry has the look. I'll give him that. I can picture him actually being president. Whether or not he'd do a good job is another story.

But out of all the candidates, he looks most presidential.

 

[Texashiker]

Perry will go wherever the money is at.

Shortly after Perry took office, he helped get a constitutional amendment passed that limited damages awarded in medical lawsuits. The lawsuit had the backing of the insurance companies, if that tells you anything.

But on the flip side, Perry has done a lot of good stuff for Texas, like passing laws to protect private property from being taken by the government, the castle law that allows home owners to use lethal force.

Personally, I think Perry is a fence rider, whatever side of the fence has the money, that is where he is going to go to.

He has "the hair." :biggrin:

There could be worse presidents.

Romney has the same look.

Unfortunately they are both RINOs.

What, because the litigation lobby wasn't on the other side of the money? If he sided with them then he'd be seen as a whore to the lawyer's lobby.

How about staying neutral on the issue?

The people of the state of Texas were told that if we passed the law, our health insurance rates would go down - we were lied to.

I had recently moved, and was not registered in my new county. I was going to vote "No" on the issue, but was unable to do so.

Yea, why should they blame that people that spend the most money and time demonizing them.
