there was a republican congressmen from buffalo who said one of the best things i've ever heard out of a republican's mouth when NY legalized gay marriage
paraphrasing it was something like
"i was raised to believe that this is wrong. but my beliefs should have no bearing on someone else's happiness. i vote in favor of the bill."
i got a raging fucking hard-on like i used to get for anthony wiener
"I cannot legally come up with an argument against same sex marriage. To those whose support I may lose, please know in the past I was telling you what I believed at the time was the truth. I struggled with this immensely. In the end though, I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, people of my district and across the state...the same rights I have with my wife."
Same guy-
"I probably just committed political suicide... So then I just don't run next year. I'm not going to switch political party affiliations." Grisanti added that he "didn't care" if the vote ends his political career which began six months prior.
Good man.

It's nice to see other people who can be socially liberal but conservative on other issues. It's a shame that this guy will get tossed under the party bus. Moderates on any side are far to rare.
so who would you guys say was the best president of the last 100 years
FDR?
1. FDR
2. TR
3. Truman
4. Kennedy
5. Johnson
I feel like I could almost interchange Johnson and Nixon, who both have their great good points and their horrific bad points. It's so fucked up that Nixon would be a flaming leftist by today's standards.
I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

He's also doing work that people in the US would not do.
*snip*
It would benefit all of us to make these people actual citizens. Treat them like human beings, fairly tax them, and utilize the labor force where it's needed. I guess that's too compassionate or human for some people. Almost something christ would do.
I honestly want to kill you. You do not understand the first fucking thing about worker exploitation. And yes, that is what employers do when they hire illegal laborers.
If these illegal, non-union laborers were citizens they would be entitled to a minimum wage and full protection under the law. If they were entitled to decent wages they wouldn't have been hired in the first place.
Employers do not hire illegals because they are reliable, hard-workers. Employers hire illegal aliens because it gives them massive coercive power over their own work-force. That you would spew this shit in a thread about International Workers Day makes me despair for the state of humanity.
No you don't want to kill him. You're throwing more hyperbole around in a thread where there's already so much. I know righteous anger feels great for some people because they get to hate and feel like they're in the right for doing it, but any point or any real discussion you would have had is lost in your invective.
Turning people into faceless things out to destroy all that's good in the world is never a good way to act. He didn't mean it like that, and was talking about the workers from the context of helping them, if you were to stop and consider it.
And this. Gingrich is not an attractive man to women on a physical level, but his worth as a human being shouldn't be judged by whether women would want to be with him because of that, regardless of who is making that decision. He could be a tanned, oiled god with abs from hell and the tightest ass in DC, and his ideas would still have the same value, or lack thereof.
the wiki for wobbly slang is sort of neato
who knows how much of it is utter bullshit, but it is fun to imagine people talking in that sort of near-cant
There was a customer in my restaurant on Thursday who was getting up from her meal periodically to pass around little cards about why everyone should vote for the "marriage protection" act that's coming up in NC soon that would explicitly define marriage solely as between a man and a woman
Once we were aware we asked her to leave (I'm not kidding myself, it's not necessarily because of what she was saying but that she was saying it at all because our policy is no political speech or literature from people on either side)
What surprised and sort of encouraged me was the number of people who complained to me about her and specifically said that they disagreed with her
In the South that was kind of a big deal
Someone posted these in D&D and I thought they were hilarious.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

What is a neoliberal and why do people who have opinions I don't like not like them
in three sentences or less
To take an example, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has, in the past shown an admirable willingness to criticize the "free market". According to the radically conservative journal Human Events, in 1996 she said on C-Span that "the unfettered free market has been the most radically destructive force in American life in the last generation." Yet in 2007, her presidential campaign program on the economy promises to "reward savings" and "balance the federal budget" -- classic conservative themes.
...it appears to have been created by people deeply immersed in the culture of overeducated twenty-something hipster self-effacement but unaware that it is all intended sarcastically. It’s like Portlandia earnestly offered up as a drama.
