Wasn’t There a War Over This?
Today’s front page of the Austin American Statesman included this little quip over the courts overturning our little Gays Just Ain’t Right laws.
Read Rick Perry’s out loud. Then bang your head against your desk.
The thing about Rick Perry is that you can pull a slow one on him. You do not have the waste the energy to pull a fast one.
Errrr, Rick? Didn’t we fight a war over this? Didn’t your side lose?
Errrr, Rick? Polls show that 61% of Americans and 52% of Texans support civil unions or marriage for same gendered couples. There’s a real big difference between your will and the will of “our citizens.”
Do you wanna know the smartest thing I ever did? I seconded the nomination of Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa to be Democratic Party Chairman. He is not a namby-pamby Democrat. You can email him right here ghinojosa@txdemocrats.org to let him know how grateful you are to have a Democratic Party Chairman in Texas who loves being a Democrat.

mel brooks plaiyed the “GOV” in the movie blazing sadles. watch that movie today and rick pops into your mind!!
1@frank: YES!!
Hey Rick, the glasses just aren’t working. Try SAYING something smart, m’kay?
2I may register that domain name and set up a mailbox for Rick. Then forward a month’s email to him and the state GOP. 😀
3We’ll see what dumbasdogdump says when the business community comes down on him over this issue.
4@frank, Great call I may have to watch it again.
5“It is not the role of the Federal Government to overturn the will of its citizens.”
Oh really? So you’re saying all those laws to protect against discrimination don’t apply to Texans? I mean, given half a chance, the number of minorities in some Texas counties would be near zero (along with a rather large number of ‘accidental gun discharges’ in those same counties.)
Remember, folks… I’m a Republican. But I can easily recognize stupid… and Gov. Perry, you are most assuredly STUPID!!!
6Didn’t we establish that equal rights are not determined by vote? I think there was some unpleasantness about that in the early 1960’s.
It could also be noted that those places where gays are considered to be equal humans and citizens have not had the roof cave in or experienced the end of civilization.
7Rick is just looking out for his own interests. If gay marriage becomes a thing in Texas, he will have to fight off a plethora of breach of promise lawsuits.
8pRick Perry is delusional. http://crooksandliars.com/heather/rachel-maddow-debunks-praise-rick-perrys-t “Rachel Maddow Debunks Praise for Rick Perry’s ‘Texas Miracle'”
Go away Gov Gohmert Hair, and please cease with your lies.
Wendy Davis is the path out of the Perry pathology. She may not be perfect, but for gohmerts sake, she is sane and has a beating heart. Please go BLUE, TX. Give reality a chance.
9I would like to point out that in the election in 2005, when voters approved the anti gay marriage amendment to the Texas constitution, only 13.8 % of the voting age population voted in that election. This is the will of a small minority of Texans. The Leg most often places constitutional amendments on the ballot in off years (odd) where few people participate. The Leg could have placed the amendment on the ballot in 2006 when the Governor, othere state wide offices and the Leg were up for election. I was told that the Leg was afraid the anti gay marriage amendment would increase turn out and have an adverse or unpredictible outcome.
