Here We Go Again

It's not enough that the Republicans are bashing illegal immigrants to get their numbers out of the toilet, they have to bring out that much-bashed minority, gays. Apparently in a secret closed door committee room in the Senate today, the Republicans voted to bring back the Gay Marriage amendment.

Amid increasing partisan tension over President Bush's judicial nominees and domestic wiretapping, the panel voted along party lines to send the constitutional amendment which would prohibit states from recognizing same-sex marriages to the full Senate, where it stands little chance of passing.

And here I was thinking that hey, maybe there are a group of people that Americans hate more than me, maybe they might just leave us alone for a while. No such luck, when the going gets tough, the tough reach down into the bottom of the slime bucket and pull up handfuls of good old American homophobia. When your polling numbers are looking grim, bash a fag, that will get people out to the polls.

And here I was almost recovered from the bashing of the last election.
