Is that music from VOTE AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE ad from The Exorcist? No matter, the gist of it cannot be missed seeing them side by side. Promoting Gay Marriage a bright sun shiny day with smiling people and kind words. On the side against gay marriage fear, darkness, hatred and intolerance. A reflection of the differences between the Political Parties today... Hmmm... And yesterday.... And tomorrow. 


Over the years this issue has time and again caused me to ask:

What has gay marriage to do with taking the skin off of anyones' nose?

How could anyone possibly want to deny the same rights and privleges to gay couples they enjoy themselves?

How is it even possible that anyone would want to deny stable relationships between people who love one another?

And more topically in these days of Tea Party madness how can these same people who tout The Constitution as being abused because they don't want to pay taxes so completely ignor it and the 14th Amendment on this issue?  Are they nuts?

Over the years I too have come to the same conclusion as Jon Stewart. Just as some people are born gay, others are born intolerant. Which makes the answer to this simple. Conservatives should not be allowed to reproduce. We need to keep them from marrying EACH OTHER, the spawn of which helps populate this Hillbilly Nation of ours.  Please contact your congressman in support of the The Defense of Tolerance Act. 

I also accept the secondary theory on this that all will end well as this is really about very old people who will be leaving the voting booths soon by natural attrition.

The speech you would have heard if not for McCain staffers yelling "Get her ass off of the stage!" according to ABC. It is enacted here for you by Michael Musto - who really needs to find a good source for wigs.



This is an historic speech, or it surely would have been, if not for the meddling McCain staffers. At last Sarah Palins' speech is revealed as it is related in her newest book, and will not be lost to history. It hasn't been an easy path to bring it to us. This is the story of one small victory snatched from the jaws of defeat - and McCain staffers literally scrambling to turn out the lights in the building as she sidled ever closer to the microphone after McCain's concession.

Tomorrow is when the really scary people celebrate Halloween in their own way. Tea partiers are advised to locate hiding congressmen and women and "look at the whites of their eyes"while expressing their copied talking points, advising them of the evils of health care for all.



I don't know that they'll be in hiding, but - wouldn't you? This is the folding chair and big gulp contingent which is often overestimated in numbers, and is loyal to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for their 'news'. They haven't read the health care bill per se, they know that it's baaaad...because two bloated and wealthy rating whores said so. If they do find a slow congressman, it's likely neither has read the bill, so they'll be on equal footing. Actually Bachmann told Republicans to go to the nations capitol, but as we're all seeing, there are Tea Party, Birther, 9/12 Republicans, and - there are so-called, moderate Republicans...the party appears to be splitting down the middle, and media is playing an enormous part.

Some strange goings on with voters out East! Working down from top to bottom:

In Maine they rejected Gay Marriage in favor of the expanding marijuana use.  Gays may not be able to get married but they can fire up their bongs and sing sad songs instead. Not a bad trade off if you ask most married guys...

In the 23rd District of New York up there in the land of Yankee hollers, Walmarts and rusty trailer jacks a Democrat won for the first time in 160 years? Since the Civil War? How could that be?  Two words, "Sarah" and "Palin". It seems Yankee Hillbillies are a bit smarter than their Southern brethren. Though having a candidate who was a doppelganger for Mayberry's Barney Fife didn't help. In fact I am sure no one would give Doug Hoffman even that one bullet Barney was allowed to carry in his shirt pocket. This one was the true bell weather for 2012.   

In New York City, Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg spent more money ever spent on any election other than for President of the United States - $100 million - and squeaked by with a 51% win over... Gee, I don't know who and either do you!

In New Jersey John Corzine - with the help of President Obama - could not pull it out from that fat guy, old what's his name. Corzine had recently quit the Senate for the more cushy job of New Jersey Governor. That seems now to be a bad move which we have going on down here in Beckian, Texas where Kay Baily Hutchinson is making the same mistake. Though this is a big win for the down trodden GOP for it proves that the President has been destroyed and the big turnaround for the Republicans is just around the corner. But one must consider that New Jersey ranks only behind Mordor and Gedi Prime on the Don't Fly List.

Then down to the home of the Confederacy, Virginia! Where the well dressed, nice haired, good looking conservative Republican beat the pants off the guy who was not Terry McAlliffe. This too was a really was a big win for the GOP as it does portend well for them gaining back a few congressional seats and governorships in 2010. But again it does nothing about the sorry state of affairs the Republican Party is suffering in GOING ROGUE.

Only Glenn Beck and the 9/12'ers stand between us and another devastating attack on our country. Don't think for a minute that they're not familiar with all 2,000 pages of the health care reform bill, it's taken the place of Sears catalogs in the outhouses of leading members of the esteemed group.



Gold: Glenn Beck. I have to wonder if Beck's viewers are wearing special glasses like those in a 3-D movie which enable them to view affordable health care for all - rather than for some, as equivalent to the devastation of 9/11. He whines, then vows that he and his group won't allow a tragedy of such proportion to occur again...as if the two things resembled one another in any way. The difference, I'm quite certain is obvious even to him. I suppose I'm not welcome to remind him that indeed he had a chance to warn us of the one tragedy, when memos warning us of an Al Qaeda attack were shushed and ignored by the Bush administration and the ever-watchful eye of Fox News and Glenn Beck. Now that - and your unmitigated gall in comparing the two are truly something to cry about big boy.

Silver: Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, WA - R. While many in Washington state don't know who she is, she's come out to further explain the crazy ass,insurance lobby, money fueled theory put forth yesterday by Virginia Foxx R-NC. In what is fast becoming a very repetitive theme, Foxx warned that we have more to fear from good affordable health care than from countries with blood on their hands and very evil intentions toward us. McMorris-Rodgers shared her laser sharp insight, explaining the similarity and difference between good health care and the 9/11 attack.. Thanks much Cathy, now pick a name and call it a career.

Bronze: Gov Tim Polenty R Minn and Rep Joe Wilson S CA. It's a hypocrite duet! It's beyond belief that elected officials can whine and blame others for their actions in office. It is President Obama's fault that the latter of the duo's wife has H1N1 - so he says...but whose fault is it? See Worst! Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

Great news Prop. 8 defenders! We know you bear no malice toward gays and lesbians, that wouldn't be Christian. It's just that you're passionately interested in "the sanctity of marriage." Well cheer up, one man has dreamed up an amendment with you in mind, to help further seal your marriage. You should simply love it, but I'll bet you won't!



Best comeuppance California: Prop 8 raises it's head once more. Those who defend "the sanctity of marriage" by excluding others should have no trouble staying within the law themselves, if - a California man is able to collect enough signatures to add a tasty amendment to the state constitution. This law would cement the marriages you have 'under law' in a way I assure you that you've never dreamed possible!

Best hedged bet: John Fund broke a huge story on FOX news. He said he knew there was voter fraud in the New Jersey governor race. As it turns out, he really was..in the know!

Best money saving scheme: Grieving widower Lau Siu Wah couldn't see letting his departed wife's gym membership...or great frocks, shoes, or make up go to waste! Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

Local television has covered this but no videos are available online. But what we see down here are people are too fat to stand up for very long who  bring their own lawn chairs and wave signs that mostly have Obama logos or hi face on them. I admit there are some some standing who were not all that fat and a few more who did seem to be in their 40s. But there seemed to be not one Black, Hispanic or anyone young enough to be text messaging. Well other  than a few kids running around whose parents dressed them up in American flag outfits.

People do not like hearing this, but it is the truth. This movement is  ALL about not wanting to pay taxes that benefit people less white then they are. It is also entirely what drives the health care debate and why we are the only place on Earth who do not consider health care a human right.  

This Tea Party was organized by local right-wing radio host Pags Pagliarulo around the central theme that we must refuse illegal immigrants health care as it is making us all go broke and is unconstitutional.

One silly part of this Tea Party business is akin to the silliness of Fox News claiming to be fair and balanced. The Tea Party talking point is that they represent all people, from all political parties. This of course is readily accepted by unbalances people.

But I am mostly concerned with what these KIND OF PEOPLE plan to do if an illegal immigrant gets run over by a truck? If they look Mexican do we just leave them in the road and rubber neck? Does someone stop and rifle the body for a green card? Do these Republican good Samaritans stop and drag them off to the side of the road so they can die pleasantly in the gravel? Perhaps a requirement that all Republicans carry shovels, white crosses and plastic flowers in their vehicles so we can just bury them on the spot? Remember, THESE KIND OF PEOPLE are armed, they vote and are very very proud of what they represent. And I am sure they will be well represented in Hell.

This is one of the most amazing political videos I have ever seen. And what's more is it was put up as reason to vote for a Conservative Republican.



The less than charismatic Doug Hoffman is being sold as Jimmy Stewart's Mr Smith goes to Washington. But as you can see it is far more like Barney Fife being interviewed by "Network" star Howard Beale. But at least we know Doug doesn't like Karl Marx! Reason enough for an overwhelming victory by Republicans in Upstate New York.

I  do wonder about that district up there which seems to be over 1/4 the land mass of New York state. Who lives up there? Is that were Texans go to die?

What is most interesting about this election is not that the Republican candidate dropped out to back the Democrat, but that Newt Gingrich is NOW the moderate voice of the Republican Party! Now that's a bell weather for what's coming for the GOP in 2012. The Dick Cheney OR Sarah Palin problem. Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |
