Well, not really. But this shows why we need to oust as many Repbublicans as we can this year. A Republican Bill to Ban Gay Rights (specifically marriage equality) has passed committee and will go to full Senate debate.
Feingold, Specter Clash Over Gay Marriage
By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer 43 minutes ago
A Senate committee approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage Thursday, after a shouting match that ended when one Democrat strode out and the Republican chairman bid him "good riddance."
"I don't need to be lectured by you. You are no more a protector of the Constitution than am I," Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., shouted after Sen. Russ Feingold (news, bio, voting record) declared his opposition to the amendment, his affinity for the Constitution and his intention to leave the meeting.
"If you want to leave, good riddance," Specter finished.
"I've enjoyed your lecture, too, Mr. Chairman," replied Feingold, D-Wis., who is considering a run for president in 2008. "See ya."
Go Russ! If you do choose to kick Specter in the nuts you'd have my vote for President right then and there. As it is, I say we focus on defeating Republicans in every state of the union.
Got Democracy Bonds yet? [1]
And let's not forget, the Republicans' claim to morality is scarcely believable these days what with sex scandals [2] and massive corruption [3].
