More Republican shenanigans.. via supermajority

[bamacre]

Perhaps people might actually have to be careful when it comes to deciding who they enter into business partnerships with.

Why wouldn't they have to be? I'm just trying to understand how this is relevant to the topic.

If it's a beneficial relationship, why am I penalized for it with higher taxes?

If its beneficial, why the need tax deductions and tax credits? I'm alluding to the Child Tax Credit, among other credits for people with kids.

This just in: Allowing gay marriage will increase tax revenue, thus reducing the deficit.

 

[Fear No Evil]

No. He could've altered what the federal government does.. but not what each state does.

Answer me this: how does Obama's inactions in the federal government excuse Republicans for doing sh** like this in NH?

Show's me he's pretty much as big of a bigot as the Republicans. He HAD the power to change things and refused to act.

I have kids and all these credits are useless to me because I hit AMT.

Why would I want the government to have more money? Why do gays want to pay more money just so the gov't can give them a stupid piece of paper?

Ah, ok. You're not for contracts entered by by private parties to be enforced by the government when one party doesn't live up to the contract terms. The injured party should have foreseen the actions of the other parties. Good to know.

Yet a lot of people with kids don't.

Maybe so when they are about to die their spouse can have guaranteed visitation rights in the hospital.

Maybe so the pigfucker states don't try to pass laws that keep them from adopting children by restricting the ability of 'unmarried' couples to do it.

You know, things like that.

:hmm: No.

Or, maybe you are correct, and in order to get married, one needs to sign a legal contract saying "I promise to stay faithful to my spouse."

What is a "pigfucker state?"

They figuratively sign a paper that says, depending on the state, half my stuff belongs to this other person if I decide I want out of the contract.

There are other pieces of papers that can erect that problem.

States inhabited by significant quantities of people who I imagine probably fuck pigs, or perhaps other barnyard animals.

This one is easier.

Show's me he's pretty much as big of a bigot as the Republicans. He HAD the power to change things and refused to act.

The difference is, he did get DADT repealed.. and he isn't in states like NH and IA introducing bills to repeal gay marriage.

I won't be voting for him in 2012, though, if the Republicans nominate someone who's socially liberal or moderate.

 

[bamacre]

And do business partners sign this kind of contract? No. Is this the way they are dealt with when they split up? No. Which is why I am confused as to why you are trying to use this as an analogy.

Let's keep your sexual fantasies out of this thread, ok. This isn't L&R.

 

[Munky]

And why is Cahlifornya pushing to repeal Prop 8 when most residents there support it?

 

[Zebo]

America is ripe for Islam. Common righties and fundi Christan just convert then you can chop off gays heads.

 

[ElFenix]

Not necessarily true. My state has a substantial deficit, but last week the legislators' attention was focused on the scandal of the outgoing governor doling out low number license plates to her friends and cronies.

Fortunately we have a surprisingly sane new governor. One of his core principles is to put the state on GAP (general accounting principles) and to comply with them from here out. Imagine, a state budget without smoke and mirrors.

Show's me he's pretty much as big of a bigot as the Republicans. He HAD the power to change things and refused to act.

wouldn't you be the guy yelling states rights if he tried to interfere?

I'm sure there's some important and significant difference in your mind between assuming people with whom you disagree politically probably have sex with barnyard animals and assuming that people who are gay probably have sex with children, but you'll have to enlighten the rest of us, 'cause from flyover country the assumption that people opposed to gay sex practice bestiality seems to disqualify you from the group of people having functional frontal lobes.

If however you were under the assumption that this is a contest to have the most bizarrely dysfunctional world view possible . . . Well, I suppose congratulations are in order.

Obama could have pretty quickly resolved this issue at a national level. But we've had that discussion.

Quick! Divert, divert! OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Either that or I just wanted to use an insulting term to describe people that I find contemptible, that supporting anti-gay legislation in the manner previously described makes a person contemptible, and that pigfucker is pretty fun to say. (try it!)

I think someone was just out-smarted by a pigfucker.
