Romney has declared he's against gay marriage, I still don't understand how people can honestly care about two gays getting married when there's much bigger issues. Up here in Canada, gay marriage has been legal for years, and we aren't debating whether or not we should be marrying dogs or not.

To be fair we almost reopened abortion.

I must say I'm surprised too. Over here, marriage has been equal for years, and no one is even considering a rollback. Well, some bishops and stuff aren't happy, but no politician (even the one that opposed it back in the day) dare raise the issue.
Probably because they realize that gay votes count just as much as "regular" ones. Our pols seem to have a hard time realizing that (or grossly underestimating the number of LGBT voters out there).

Or they realize that gay voters are used to pols not caring, and thus will vote on other things and don't need to be courted.

I just watched the interview with Herman Cain that John Oliver did for the Daily Show a couple of weeks back. I have to be honest with you, that is one awesome guy ;D I really wish he got to be head of some state that is much more insignificant that the US so we could watch all the hilarities ensuing.

Also, googling "Pizza President" when I can't remember his name is also great.

Unfortunately, I hear part of their constitution requires the president be able to pronounce the name of the country without being a fucking asshole.

I'd prefer King Radical.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Ahh, the famous "3 G's" of American politics. Gays, guns and God.

Never change, America. Never change. ;)

Heard on the radio about some people saying something along the lines: "Jesus is not in the polls this year.  But, I'd vote Romney anyways since he is the lesser of two evils."

Honest to Jah...  I'd bet at least 1/3rd of America would willingly choose to turn the US of A into a christian/catholic theocracy given half the chance...
