The sanctimonious hypocrisy of some Republicans and far right wing politicians NEVER ceases to amaze me.......mainly, let's get the government out of the "bedroom"......and stop wasting money and time.

In an era when Republicans are supposedly only interested in cutting the budget deficit; they seem more than willing to spend tens of Millions of taxpayer dollars and government time defending the obviously unconstitutional "Defense" Of Marriage Act.

IMHO.......it just more agenda rhetoric....the "law" has been deemed unconstitutional by a federal judge, but since some Republicans feel they must force their viewpoint on others; they will challenge that court ruling. Once again...it's all about them; forget the budget or what's constitutionally correct.

Like kids in the schoolyard......I'll hold my breath until I turn blue......or my aptly........Do it my way or hit the highway. How can we ever work together to make our country better with this type of mentality and inane stubborness.

Let D.O.M.A. pass on into history as the bigoted law it was and save taxpayer monies and government time; we need to move forward and stop dwelling on "old" issues which the courts have already settled, same thing is true of abortion laws.

I wouldn't worry to much about the little bit of money it may cost for them to do this. Obama is more than happy to throw billions into the wind every chance he gets.

Human society is based on successful reproduction of the species via heterosexual marriage. To defend that is bigoted? Really? I'd say to attack it is such.

This'd be funny if it weren't so sadly stupid.

Heterosexual marriage has absolutely zero to do with reproduction of the species.

It does however with human society. I understand that homosexual's have their collective panties in a wad that their sexually reporductive lifestyle is the antithesis of the "norm" in human history as a majority lifesyle choice but to play the bigot card for the defense of heterosexual marriage is over the top, really.

What does Obama have to do with the thread title?????

Just more deflection(typical)......

The point is the Republicans want to lower the deficit to the point of busting Unions and cutting teacher pay and benefits; yet are willing to spend Millions on furthering their social agenda! Sounds like a double standard to me!
