Just look at any of the long list of issues on the right hand side of this blog and you will see issues that I think the GOP is positively hair-brained about. Lincoln himself would be drummed out of the Party. Damned state’s rights interfering, pro science, big government, civil right’s fanatic and agnostic. And he wrote poetry too!
Among the issues I care about there is this:
To be honest I don’t want the amendment on the ballot either. However, I fully agree that the GOP has every right to put it there even if it is doing so to drum up more GOP votes rather than to protect the sanctity of marriage. I’ve thought about putting up a hand made lawnsign in my yard saying something like this: Repeal the anti-gay marriage amendment in 2020.
It would broadcast one more of those issues that is slipping out of the fingers of the GOP hacks. At the rate things are going for the GOP Minnesota might not need to repeal the amendment in ten years. I think the GOP is bringing so much discredit on itself that this amendment could bring out more anti-GOP voters just to teach the hacks a lesson.
I’ll enjoy that if it happens. If it doesn’t I’ll help circulate the petitions to repeal the gay-baiting amendment in a few years.
