The Bigot of the Day, January 24th, 2004

And today's winner is Wayne Allard of Colorado!!! Congratulations Wayne!

Here we go again, re-introducing the silly marriage amendment that makes it so that boys can't marry boys and girls can't marry girls.

Last year, the "Marriage Protection Amendment" failed in both the Senate and House. It got only 48 of the 60 Senate votes needed to overcome procedural hurdles. It failed in the House 227-186, well short of the two-thirds majority needed.

I guess Mr. Allard thinks that maybe this year, since there are a few more Republicans in the House and Senate that it might pass, but I don't think it will. Mr. Allard needs to get a calculator and do a little bit better figuring because the Republicans didn't pick up than many seats.

I don't think that's very fair. People should be able to marry anyone that want to marry. And adding in discrimination into the Constitution is just plain un-constitutional as far as you know.

The AMERICABlog points out that Ken Mehlman, the head of the Republican party, might just be gay himself. What a bunch of hippo-crits.
