But I'm guessing you're personally against gay marriage, right? Equality and justice for all (except the people YOU'VE personally decided are acceptable ((usually based on a misrepresentation of the Bible)). Hmmm. strange how people can pick and choose like.

Funny how interpretation gets so skewed depending on your religion or the way you were brought up by your religious parents.

I think she's a great pick.

If that is what you think I suggested, then use your delusion to justify a solution.

Bull. Quit making stuff up.

Another poster asked why we opposed Clarence Thomas's nomination. I did because he harassed women who worked for him.

Like what?

It is well known bubba is/was a sexual deviant. Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones.

It is a fact Teddy "the swimmer" Kennedy left a girl (his mistress) to drown in his car.

Imagine the year is 1991. Newt Gingrich is Minority Whip, and is trying everything he can to bring the GOP into power in the house. GHW Bush has just nominated Clarence Thomas to fill a seat on the SCOTUS. And pretend for a second that Thomas is innocent.

The hearings start, and the Democrats line up 5 or 6 women to testify that Clarence Thomas sexually harassed them (you know there were several who didn't testify, don't you?). Anita Hill testifies first, and (by the assumption above) lies her head off about Thomas. Before the others come on to testify, the Dems cave and give in on the nomination.

Now Newt has a conspiracy on his hands! The House Dems lined up 5 or 6 women to lie to congress! Do you think he would let that go? Do you think the guy that ran an 8-year witch hunt against Clinton would say, "That's OK, Dems, I don't mind that you conspired to lie to Congress and subvert a Constitutionally mandated process. Just forget about it!"

Get real. The GOP and Gingrich didn't pursue it because they new the women were telling the truth.

I'd like some verification on her 2nd amendment stance, though. If that is true she has very backwards opinions in some clear cut interpretations of the Constitution.
You wingnuts really think that if you say "clear cut interpretations of the Constitution" often enough, everyone will assume that there is no controversy over gun control and the meaning of the "militia" phrasing.
