I Didn't Say It........

Rick Santorum, on Dan Savage's "attacks" on him:

"Whether it’s Rick Santorum or Michele Bachmann, it’s the Left making fun of someone who believes in the values that built America. It believes in traditional marriage. How outrageous. How bigoted. How hateful that you actually believe that, that, you know, raising children and, and, and families with mothers and fathers is something to be encouraged. That you’re, that, that, just because you hold those opinions, you are subject to the worst form of, of, of, of vulgarity on the internet, on television, and everywhere else, and they get away with, not only do they get away with the mainstream media, but they are applauded by the mainstream media. They are made, they are celebrated by, as you mentioned, in New York, by taking on these, these people who believe in these outmoded virtues, and, the bottom line is I stand and I wear it as a badge of honor that someone as vulgar and as, and as disgusting and as hate-filled as Dan Savage sees me as public enemy number one. To me, that tells me I must be doing something right."


Oh, Rick, poor Rick.
You aren't subject to the ridicule and mockery of people on the left because you believe in a traditional family unit--whatever that is.
You are subject to ridicule and mockery, and the Frothy Mixing, because of your bigoted and homophobic and intolerant and bassackwards, and might I add, fucktarded, comments on the LGBT community.
You have compared homosexuality to child molestation and incest and bigamy and bestiality.
That's why you're the butt of jokes.
That's why you're a joke. 


Dan Savage, on Marcus Bachmann being an ALLEGED homosexual:

"Gay people who point out how fruity Bachmann is aren't saying there's something wrong with being fruity, or with being gay, or with guys who look, speak, walk, or dance the way Bachmann does. A lot of us look, speak, walk, and dance that way. And we don't think there's anything wrong with us for looking, speaking, walking, or dancing that way. I've never met a gay man who objected to Modern Family's Cam, who looks, speaks, walks, and dances the Bachmann way. And we certainly don't think there's anything wrong with being gay. But Marcus Bachmann sure does. He thinks there's a whole lot wrong with being gay. And when we point out that this same Marcus Bachmann acts like a huge homo—like a huge, messy, married, dishonest, closeted version Cam—we're not mocking the fruits. We're hoisting that pansy with his own hateful petard."


If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, it's a duck.
And, sometimes it's a "huge, messy, married, dishonest, closeted" duck like Marcus Bachmann.
Just because he is ALLEGEDLY ashamed of being gay doesn't make being gay wrong.


Bishop David Allen Richey, saying he fears gay people more than wars and natural disasters:

"I'm not afraid of the many disasters that are happening simultaneously in our world. I'm not afraid of all the wars that are currently raging on almost every continent on the globe. The potential for nuclear accidents globally doesn't frighten me. What terrifies me are good men and women saying and doing nothing when politicians we voted into office are making moral laws that contradict everything a Holy God stands for. [snip] If someone desires to indulge in bestiality, anal sex, homosexuality or any other perverted sexual act, why does it have to be made a law? More important, why have more than 50 percent of Americans bought into the lie that it has to be legalized?"


I love how these Catholic Bishops are always comparing homosexuality to bestiality and other perverted sexual acts, but generally leave raping children out of the mix.
Pot. Kettle. Pedophile.
And marriage will be legalized for all Americans, Bishop, and you'll be stuck on the sidelines whimpering and moaning and living in the past.


Rudy Giuliani, on what the GOP needs to do if they want to regain the White House:

'I think the Republican Party would be well advised to get the heck out of people's bedrooms and let these things get decided by states. We'd be a much more successful political party if we stuck to our economic, conservative roots. I think it's wrong [gay marriage], but there are other things that I think are wrong that get decided by democratic vote. I see more harm, however, by dwelling so much on this subject of gays and lesbians and whether it's right or wrong in politics."


Oh, Rudy.
In one breath you tell the GOP to get out of people's bedrooms, and then you open the door and walk right in with your anti-marriage equality stance.
If the GOP really wants to win an election, then the GOP needs to realize that fear isn't a way to get votes.
Actions speak louder than words.
They ought to shut up and get to work doing all the things they promised last November that they haven't done a thing about since.


Dr. Jack Drescher, a psychiatrist who specializes in debunking "ex-gay" conversion:

"[Ex-gay theories are] o far outside the mainstream it's practically on Mars. We don't know what causes homosexuality, we don't know what causes heterosexuality, and since we don't what causes it, we don't know how to change it. There is no science that effectively states [reparative therapy] this can work, this can change."


I think that whatever causes homosexuality is the same thing that causes heterosexuality, though the mo's get all the fabulousness.
And you can't pray away fabulousness.
Or the gay.
Or the straight.


Alan Chambers, leader of the "ex-gay" group Exodus International:

"We can look at other organizations who help people dealing with other life struggles. For instance, Weight Watchers... Should we go after Weight Watchers and tell them 'Don't say that there's anything beyond obesity' for people who are struggling with obesity and want an alternative to that?"


Hmm, interesting.
Is there a point system to Chambers' ideology, like there is to Weight Watchers.
Sucking a dick is 1 point?
Riding a hot guy is 5?
And how many points do you get before you're a full-fledged flaming queen.
I mean, I reached that number a loooong time ago.


Unwed teen mother Bristol Palin, on her insider knowledge of God's political affiliation:

"I think that people treat her poorly, they treat her with no respect, and I think it’s because they’re envious of her. She’s got a good family, she’s got a good husband, she’s got awesome support, she’s got God on her side, and I think people are envious of that."


Um, Bristol? You're dumb.
The only people who envy you and your family are morons with no active brain cells.
You got drunk and got knocked up, had a child, proclaimed your allegiance to abstinence--about a year too late by my calender--went on a TV dance show, got a buttload of plastic surgery to fix your low self-esteem issues, and continue to sell yourself to the highest bidder.
Your mother barely graduated from any one of the five colleges she attended, was elected to a job and quit halfway through because it got too hard, ran for, and spectacularly lost, a bid to be Vice President, sold her soul to reality TV, and started ina documentary that made just about as much money as I scraped out of my sofa cushions last week.
Envious?
I think not.


President Obama, on the debt ceiling stalemate:

"What we're seeing here confirms what the American people think is the worst about Washington: that everyone is more interested in posturing and political positioning and protecting their base than solving real problems. Eric, I could get well above the numbers the GOP is talking about with revenue increases. I am not afraid to veto this and I will take that message and defend it to the American people. If we default, it will be a tax increase on every American. My responsibility is to the American people. I have reached the point where I say, 'Enough.' I have sat here long enough and no other President - Ronald Reagan wouldn't sit here like this. I've reached my limit. We've reached the point where something's got to give. You've either got to compromise on your dollar for dollar insistence or you compromise on the big deal, which means raising taxes. Eric, don't call my bluff. I will go to the American people on this. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this."

We need more balls of steel from Obama. More calling out people like Cantor and Boehner and McConnell, who would rather see America crumble in order to win an election.
You cannot pay off a debt without taxes, no matter how much you cut a budget.
Any asshat knows that.


Marcus Bachmann, claiming that the audio tape in which he calls gays "barbarians" was doctored:

"I was talking in reference to children. Nothing, nothing to do with homosexuality. That's not my mindset. That's not my belief system. That's not the way I would talk. I think the strongest myth is the myth that I have ever called a homosexual a barbarian. We don't have an agenda or a philosophy of trying to change someone."


But then the unedited version of the tape came out and that is exactly what he said.
Liar, Liar, your wife's an idiot.
And, so, Miss, are you.


NOM president Brian Brown, whining about people who choose not to follow the law and give up their civil servant jobs:

"We've already met the first victims of this new gay marriage regime. Town clerks, charged with a duty to issue and record marriage licenses, are faced with a stark choice: give up stable employment in the midst of a troubled job market, or give up their religious convictions about marriage. Two clerks have already resigned; others have been warned that failure to comply with the new law could land them in jail. Who will the next victims be? A wedding photographer or owner of a reception hall? Parents of public school children who object to curriculum changes this fall? How long before the new law impacts you and your family? The answer from Albany is clear: We couldn't care less."


Oh, Brian, wipe your tears.
These people aren't victims,
They are people who work for the government of the state of New York who cannot set aside their religious beliefs and follow the law.
Too bad, so sad.
You don't want to issue marriage licenses to gay couples?
Quit.Your.Job.


Bryan Fischer, American Family Association spokesman, on how Freedom of Religion only applies to Christians: 

"The First Amendment was written neither to guarantee freedom of religion to Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus nor to prohibit their free exercise of religion. It wasn’t written about them one way or another. It was written for one specific purpose: to protect the free exercise of the Christian religion. We must be clear: the First Amendment does not prohibit the free exercise of alternative religions, but neither does it guarantee it. It simply does not address the issue at all."

Um, dickhead?
May i call you dickhead?
Where, oh, where does it say "only Christians" in the First Amendment?
It doesn't?
Then quit trying to say it does. people like you that use your ignorance, bigotry, homophobia and stupidity to rewrite the Bible and the Constitution to fit you narrow world view are despicable.
And dickheads.

I Didn't Say It.....

Randy Thomasson of Save California, on Harvey Milk Day:

"Wake up, parents. Public schools are no longer for the public. They're government institutions that think that you're children are their children -- and they are going to turn them into homosexual, bisexual, transsexual political activists. Just wait now until Harvey Milk is on a weekday next year, and it's going to be what? Anything goes. It could be gay pride parades on campus; it could be mock gay weddings on campus; it could be essays, mandatory homework saying why Harvey Milk, a bad guy, was a great guy. I mean, this is in-your-face stuff."

Oh Randy, you delusional fuck.
You can't "turn" people gay. People are born this way. Haven't you been listening to Gaga?
I kid.
But, Randy, you delusional fuck, tis true you can't make people gay, or even gay activists. What you can do, and what you are doing, is turning people into haters.
And really, Randy? Gay pride parades on campus? That would be so horrible?
And for the record, you douchenozzle, Harvey Milk was a hero, to the LGBT community and anyone else who felt disenfranchised, and less than. He wasn't working for gay equality, he was working for equality for everyone.
You.Delusional.Fuck.

Dan Savage, on WeinerGate:

"A reporter asks if Weiner was drinking or using drugs—if he has a problem—because only a man who has a drinking problem or a drug problem could get caught up in something like this. Do reporters know what men are like? (And lots of women too?) This desire to pathologize behavior that isn't sick—that is, indeed, very common and human and completely and instantly understandable—is itself pathological. Weiner does not have a problem. He has a computer. The whole world has Weiner's problem: same old horniness, brand new box."

Once again, Dan cuts through the crap.
You don't need to be high to email your junk to strangers. You don't have to be drunk to sext someone.
You need to, if you';re a man like Anthony Weiner, to have lost your mind for a moment to think that your sexting exploits and your brief pictures, would not come out. Haven't we learned by now that the story always comes out?

Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, on the transgender anti-discrimination bill he intends to sign:

“This bill is another step forward in the fight for equal rights for all of Connecticut’s citizens, and it’s the right thing to do,’’ he said in a written statement issued shortly after the vote was taken. “It’s difficult enough for people who are grappling with the issue of their gender identity, and discrimination against them has no place in our society.’’

You don't know what it does for me to hear a politician, any politician, speak out and tell you exactly how they are feeling, and exactly what they mean.
No sidestep. No shuffler. No mindless rhetoric to confuse people.
Malloy is for equality for everyone in his state and he makes no bones, or excuses, for it.

Erica Diaz, lesbian granddaughter of anti-gay NY Senator Ruben Diaz, on her appearance at his Bronx hate rally last month:

"I was so nervous that morning that I threw up. I spoke against him across the street, directly within his view. But then I approached a police officer who escorted me to the podium where he spoke. My grandfather introduced me to the crowd and kissed me on the forehead. 'This is my granddaughter," he said. 'She chose her way of life, but I chose God's way, but I love her.' Grandpa even called me after the rally, to say that he was proud of me for 'respectfully speaking up for what you believe in.' You cannot tell someone that you love them and stay silent when people call for their death. 'Love' is empty when you say someone's life isn't natural. He could quietly vote 'no' if that's what he believes is right. But I want him to know that every word he utters hurts his own blood."

How can Diaz profess to love his granddaughter and then stand up and say she doesn't matter?
How is that love?
Not to mention, how can anyone, these days, still utter the old "chose that lifestyle" bull?
Ruben chose hate.
Erica was born gay.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates, on ending DADT:

"The reality is that you don't all agree with each other on your politics, you don't agree with each other on your religion, you don't agree with each other on a lot of things," he added. "But you still serve together. And you work together. And you look out for each other. And that's all that matters."

That's all that matters.
Can you help protect your country? Then it doesn't matter if you're gay.
Can you play basketball better than most/ Then it doesn't matter if you're gay.
Can you teach children like they've never been taught before? Then  it doesn't matter if you're gay.
It.Doesn't.Matter.

Teabagger pin-up boy, Rand Paul, on profiling radical anti-government protesters, as long as they are of the Muslim variety:

"I’m not for profiling people on the color of their skin, or on their religion, but I would take into account where they’ve been traveling and perhaps, you might have to indirectly take into account whether or not they’ve been going to radical political speeches by religious leaders. It wouldn’t be that they are Islamic. But if someone is attending speeches from someone who is promoting the violent overthrow of our government, that’s really an offense that we should be going after — they should be deported or put in prison."

See, if you protest the government you should be deported or put in prison.
But, um, Rand, what about all your Teabagger friends who stand with their guns and threaten to take back the country by ballot or bullet?
Should we lock them up?
Me thinks Rand Paul needs to stop and think before he opens his illiterate yap.
Like, say, stop and think for about thirty years, until you catch up with the rest of us.

NFL Hall of Famer Warren Moon, on having gay teammates:

"I think I have played with a couple of players who have been gay. I know of a couple of players, who I won’t mention their names because they have not made it public yet. It really doesn’t bother me what your sexual preference is as along as you don’t bring in your sexual preferences to the locker room. I think that should be for homosexuals and heterosexuals. That’s a personal part of your life you should deal with in that way. As long as your coming to the football team and bringing a positive influence, that’s all that matters to me."

Back to Robert Gates.
It doesn't matter.
i seriously doubt a professional athlete of the gay variety, worked that hard to get that far in his sport, just so he might get some play in the locker room.

Tony Perkins, of the Family Research Council, on religion and The Gays:

"The so-called Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act has already done more harm to religious freedom than good. The Roman Catholic diocese in Rockford has announced that it will close its doors on the church's adoption program before subjecting children to placement in homosexual homes. Like it did in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., the Catholic Church refused to violate its convictions. Unfortunately, it's only a matter of time before other dioceses follow suit. For the church, this is an act of self-defense. Without a religious exemption, the law makes programs like this one vulnerable to lawsuits or state budget cuts. Much to the frustration of the bill's own sponsor, the state refused to carve out special protections for the religious organizations like this one. And now the state's neediest children will be paying for it."

The state's neediest children will be paying for it because churches like the Catholic Church refuse to accept that gay people are here, and that we deserve equality and that we can, and do raise children ourselves and do just as good a job of it as straight people.
Remember, Tony, if being gay is such a horrible thing, why not question the parents of gay people. Most of them are straight, so how can they be good parents if they raised gay children?
They can be good parents because they loved and nurtured their children and made them feel safe and protected. And if a gay couple, or gay man or woman, can do that for a child, it's not very Christ-like to deny them that option.

I Didn't Say It.......

Maggie Gallagher, NOM High Priestess of Hate, on  Dan Savage's "sexual ethic" of valuing honesty over fidelity and the disaster that, she says, will be his upcoming MTV show:

"There was a thoughtful analysis of [Savage's] sexual ethics in the Washington Monthly recently, for folks who want to get a taste of what he writes. The essay, by a Lutheran Minister, ends by pointing out where Savage ethics lead. A young man, in love with his girlfriend, with whom he has had a rather open and satisfying sexual relationship, but is tempted by more "sexual variety" asks how he can ask for that without ruining his relationship, which he values. Savage, who for all his experience, does not know what women are like, advises him to tell her openly and honestly what he wants, because otherwise the young man will just cheat on her. The Lutheran minister, wiser in the ways of men and women, suggests that this young man is going to get pretty lonely looking for another woman able to give him all this young woman does--and who doesn't mind his playing around on the side. The possibility of taming one's sexual desire for the sake of another, or of a vow, is not in the Savage moral imagination. Libido will have out, and honesty about that is the best policy. He brings, in other words, the best of gay sexual ethics and experience to a straight audience, with potentially disastrous results."

And Maggie thinks we should take our moral cues from either her, or a Lutheran minister, about sexual ethics.
Maggie, those who can, do; those, like you, who can't, try to impose their limited worldview on the rest of us.

Dan Savage, responding to Maggie Gallagher:

"I do not intend to 'educate your college students,' Maggie. Your college students—the offspring of NOM supporters—are being 'educated' at Brigham Young, Liberty University, Bob Jones, Seattle Pacific University, and other Christianist madrassas. My college tours typically take me to secular institutions of higher learning where the kids were hooking up and having sex long before my visit to campus. I know what women are like. I may not know what women taste like—I've never gone down on one—but I do know what women are like. My mother was a woman, my sister is a woman, my aunts are women, my favorite bartender is a woman, lots of my friends, neighbors, and coworkers are women. And as someone who sleeps with men and is a long-term relationship with a man, I know what (straight) women have to put up with. I'm not the first gay man that women have turned to for advice about love and sex, Maggie, and I won't be the last. And aren't you a practicing Catholic? Not knowing what women are like (or taste like) has never stopped the Pope from offering his unsolicited advice to women—no birth control, no abortions, no oral, no anal, no handjobs—and it's hypocritical of you to suggest that I'm not qualified to advise women, since I won't fuck 'em, without first telling that old fag in Rome to STFU already."

Again, Dan, Brazilliant!

Glenn Beck, on his cancellation, er, "transition" out, of his FOX News program:

"I took the job two years ago because I thought I had something important to share. I really thought that if I could prove my case that something wicked this way was coming, something in America was wrong, America would listen. And, they have. I'm surprised at both the number that have and haven't even with all of the facts....When I took this job I didn't take it because it was going to be a career for me. Paul Revere did not get up on the horse and say 'Hwaa I'm gonna do this for the rest of my life!' He didn't do it. He got off the horse at some point and fought in the revolution..."

Difference is, Glenn, your ignorant fuck, is that Revere got off the horse of his own free will. He wasn't pushed off because he was a moronic gasbag out of touch with the real world, and pandering to the lowest wingnuts he could find.

Diane Gramley, head of the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Family Association, announcing a new campaign against the repeal of DADT:

"We are undermining our military [with this policy] and thus undermining our national defense, so we are encouraging them to get into the thick of the battle because that's what it's going to take to get this terrible law thrown out. If we allow this implementation to go forth, then it will destroy our military, and there's no doubt about that. So we're encouraging Pennsylvanians to contact Congressman Bill Shuster and Congressman Mark Critz and ask them to protect our military."

So, um, Diane, honey?
Equality undermines people?
Treating everyone the same is bad for our national defense?
You need to dig your fugly mug out of the sand and realzie that equality for any oif us is eqaulity for all of us, and only works to make things better.
And seriously, honey, a little blush and some eyeliner would do wonders.

Former Australian High Court judge Michael Kirby, on how he wants marriage equality, but would probably never take advantage of it with his partner John van Vloten:

"After all our engagement has gone on for 42 years so it's getting a bit late in the day. But it ought to be there for those who want it. Religion should butt out of this. This is a matter of the civil rights of fellow citizens and it's really not acceptable to deprive fellow citizens on the grounds of the religious views of some."

Nicely put, but it's never too late to tell your friends and neighbors, and countrymen, and the world, of your love for your partner, and your commitment to your partner, and your desire to be seen as a legally wed couple, no matter how many years are under your belts, like everyone else.

American Family Association's Bryan Fischer, proving again why his little group is listed as a hate group:

"Welfare has destroyed the African-American family by telling young black women that husbands and fathers are unnecessary and obsolete. Welfare has subsidized illegitimacy by offering financial rewards to women who have more children out of wedlock. We have incentivized fornication rather than marriage, and it’s no wonder we are now awash in the disastrous social consequences of people who rut like rabbits."

Wow, just when you thought he was rabidly anti-gay, you find out he's a big old sheet-wearing-cross-burning-job-denying-stereotyping racist.

Virginia wingnut Governor Bob McDonnell, on opposing a proposed regulation to ban discrimination against adoptive gay parents:

"I don’t think we ought to force Catholic Charities to make that part of their policy or other similar situated groups. Many of our adoption agencies are faith-based groups that ought to be able to establish what their own policies are. Current regulations that say you can’t discriminate on the basis of race, color or national origin I think are proper. I think previous efforts to expand that to a number of other classes are going to have very strict scrutiny to make sure that we don’t inhibit the very fine work some faith-based organizations are doing."

Yes, let's keep the kids in foster care and in orphanages instead of allowing them to be placed in the homes of people, who just happen to be gay, who want to raise a child, and nurture a child, and love a child.
That would be horrific, and so un-"christ"-like.

Bob Smith, comedian and author, on Facebook:

"Read that Arizona Gov. Brewer wants to tax obese people because they cost more for health care. If the Republicans take this national, then Rush Limbaugh, Gov. Christie, Haley Barbour, Roger.Ailes, (head of Fox News) and Huckabee's sons could pay off the national debt. These guys aren't right-wing, they're right Buffalo wing dipped in blue-cheese dressing."

Too bad Brewer doesn't want ignorant racist delusional fucks to pay higher taxes, because she could pay off the debt all by her lonesome.
Still, "right Buffalo wing dipped in blue-cheese dressing" is high-larious.

Bill Maher, on how the Democrats should get tougher:

"Republicans don't run from unpopular stances and they stand by their convictions. Stupid, ignorant, world-destroying convictions based on disproven economic fantasies, and ancient books filled with primitive morality and magic people, but convictions nonetheless."

Maher's right.
The Republicans keep saying the most hateful, and wrong things over and over again and then people start to believe them--well, at least irrational people.
Prime example: Michelle Bachmann, who wouldn't know the truth if it knocked her in the head and straightened out her crazy eyes.
The Dems need to get tough, and stay tough, and stand up, and fight.
And the GOP will implode on their own inconsistencies.

Teabagger wingnut, and complete moron, Louie Gohmert, a Republican from Texas, on how the US action in Libya is actually a false flag operation meant to exhaust the military's resources so Obama can call up his super-secret army as authorized in the health care reform bill:

"It's a bad bill. And then when you find out that the prior Congress not only passed that 2,800 page bill with all kinds of things in it, including a new president's commissioned officer corps and non-commissioned officer corps. Do we really need that? I wondered when I read that in the bill. But then when you find out we're being sent to Libya to use our treasure and American lives there, maybe there's intention to so deplete the military that we're going to need that presidential reserve officer commissioned corps and non-commissioned corps that the president can call up on a moment's notice involuntarily, according to the Obamacare bill."

Point proven.
The GOP, and it's Hounddogs From Hell, making completely fabricated statements as though they were the gospel.
And we all know how members of the GOP follow the tenets of the gospel.
See, the Ready Reserves Corps of medical personnel created in the health care reform bill, are meant to serve in national emergencies, like, say, Katrina, but Gohmert and his ick, er, ilk, say they will actually be an army of Obama's private henchmen.
Gohmert also fails to mention that the concept of the Ready Reserves Corps was first put forward by the Bush administration after 9/11. He also fails to mention that he makes these claims from the podium of an empty House chamber.
Yes, no one was listening, and no one has the chance to call him on his asshattery.

Crazy Eyes, Michele Bachmann, who selectively forgets that these tough economic times started under the Bush regime, the regime that started an illegal war for oil, based on lies and fear:

"I think that the agenda that we have seen - we know that sixty-three percent of all households have seen a major decline in their personal wealth, a decline in their personal income, and an increase in their debt level. That's all attributable directly to Barack Obama's principles. I don't think it's by accident we're seeing people struggling and we're seeing redistribution of wealth. I think Barack Obama is getting exactly the outcome that he hoped for. All of us, I think are perhaps giving the President too much credit thinking, well, he probably just doesn't understand that liberalism actually makes people poorer. I actually think that this is what the President wants. I believe that he wants to see redistribution of wealth because if you ever notice, the President seems to be angry and irritable and sarcastic about people who have succeeded in the United States and job creators. Those seem to be the two sectors that he most wants to punish."

There are no words.
Bachmann will make this her new mantra no matter how many times she's proven wrong.
She's either a crafty little liar, or a completely delusional asshat.
I think it's both.

Donald Trump, on why he's opposed to marriage equality, and how he thinks Obama will come out in favor of it: 

"I just don't feel good about it. I don't feel right about it. I'm against it. And I take a lot of heat because I come from New York...I'm opposed to gay marriage...We have other problems in this country. I don't think a president should be elected on gay marriage or not gay marriage...Based on everything I see, I think Obama is going to come out in favor of gay marriage."

Trump.
Using his money and his ample hair, to pander to the lowest common denominator.
He "just doesn't feel good" about marriage equality.
But he's felt good enough about traditional marriage to have done it three times.

Montana GOP Representative, and bar owner, Alan Hale, speaking out against a bill that would stiffen the state's DUI laws: 

"These DUI laws are not doing our small businesses in our state any good at all. They are destroying them. They are destroying a way of life that has been in Montana for years and years. These taverns and bars in these smaller communities connect people together. They are the center of the communities. I'll guarantee you there's only two ways to get there: either you hitchhike, or you drive, and I promise you they're not going to hitchhike."

Ladies and gentle-ladies, I give you the future of the GOP.
Blind to facts.
Deaf to reason and logic.
But most of all, Dumb.

Donald Trump, again, riding the Birther Train:

"A lot of the so called birthers, these are great people, these are really great American people. These are hard working, unbelievable, salt of the earth people. I'm proud to be, I mean I'm very proud of it. I don't like the term 'birther.' I think it is a demeaning term to the people that believe that he should have a birth certificate, that some people believe he was not born in this country. And when people ask me that question I just can't be sure because nobody knows. I have a birth certificate. People have birth certificates. He doesn't have a birth certificate. He may have one but there is something on that birth certificate — maybe religion, maybe it says he's a Muslim, I don't know. Maybe he doesn't want that. Or, he may not have one."

It's demeaning to call them birthers, but it isn't demeaning to question a president, for the first time in history--and oddly enough the first Black president--about his birth certificate.
It's racism, Trump, and you'rte pandering to it.
