"The government should uphold the scarcity of marriage"?
Some asshat wrote that in an email that was read out loud on Headline News.

I know you are supposed to "respect" your opponents, but if you can't even get the talking point right, you've got a problem.

:eyes: Asshats.

2. Actually...I agree with the asshat.
There are far too many people getting married who have no business doing so. (*cough* Britney Spears *cough*)

4. does that mean that the government
will cancel "Who wants to marry my dad", "For Love or Money" "The Bachelor" and the rest of those trashy shows??? Because I believe that they aren't exactly upholding the "scarcity" of marriage

11. Bob Boudelang Lives!!
By the way, did anybody else see Tom DeLay's idiot spokesman on MSNBC refer to the charges against the crooked bastard as "caricature assassination?"

No matter how dumb or demented I make Bob, the right wing can always top me.

16. Found the link...
"DeLay has repeatedly dismissed Bell's charges, saying Bell is bitter because he lost his re-election bid in March. Republicans have said Democrats are behind the complaint.

"The last sign of a defeated and intellectually bankrupt party is a hate-filled strategy of caricature assassination," said Jonathan Grella, a DeLay spokesman. "

12. Thank you for a much needed laugh on this subject.
I guess the concept of "thinking for yourself" is a foreign one to some of these gay marriage opponents. Just get the marching orders and don't bother to even spell them correctly.

13. "Divorce" is doing a fine job of upholding the "scarcity of marriage".

15. The reality shows on Fox are doing a good job as well. Wife swapping is...
the newest subject of the latest Fox reality show, I believe. Great job, Rupert baby.

18. Then tell the effenheimer to ban DIVORCE. Gay marriage is irrelevant!
Edited on Tue Jul-13-04 05:38 PM by HypnoToad
