1. Republican, yep, that tells it all. n/t

[Fozzledick]

2. A Republican?

Seems obvious.

[jrthin]

3. The answer is in your question: A fucking pervert. And may I add, a disgusting,

vile human being.

[gratuitous]

4. As long as it's not sharia law

Apparently Idaho Republicans think child marriage is a good thing. I wonder if Mormon influence in Idaho has anything to do with this?

[treestar]

37. +1. Same people were probably horrified

by how Obama was going to impose sharia law on them.

[apcalc]

5. too many Mormons up that way...God's will and all , you know.

[maxsolomon]

10. HOW DARE YOU SLANDER MORMONISM

Its a RELIGION and therefore sacrosanct on DU!



Idaho is the #2 Momo state. They're not going to cross the LDS.

[TheRealNorth]

6. I'm not from Idaho

Are old guys exchanging dowrys for child brides there?

[uponit7771]

7. The kind of people who support a guy who "loses" thousands of kidnapped kids? Jus sayin,

... aint no damn way they "lose" that many kids !!!

[malaise]

22. Thread winner

It's that simple

[woofless]

8. First Class!

[MontanaMama]

9. Wonder if DU's hermetic

has any local info about this. There’s a decent pocket of RWNJ’s in north Idaho but I don’t know if that’s the group who hold the power in that state. It’s awful.

[quickesst]

11. This can't be right....

I live in Louisiana, and I know for a fact that Idaho is not part of the South.

[Dave Starsky]

35. I grew up in Idaho, and I can verify that it's a suburb of Mississippi.

But with Mormons instead of Baptists

[quickesst]

36. Mississippi is pretty bad....

.... But it does have 1 redeeming quality. Mississippi leads the nation in the highest vaccination rates for kindergarteners. 99.7%.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. Oh, there are a few on this website that are ready to disbelieve that it still happens.

[obamanut2012]

13. Mormons

[Ohiogal]

14. Ironic

“I don’t think the courts should be involved in marriage at all” says Bryan Zollinger.

Am I to assume they approve gay marriage, then?

[AllyCat]

16. Sounds reasonable to me

As long as all are adults. Marriage is a legal contract. 18 years old seems a reasonable age.

[dlk]

15. Patriarchy Has its Privileges...

It's beyond disgusting!

[fascisthunter]

17. Sanctioned Pedophilia

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Absolutely that's what this is.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

18. I have a few rules that I think people ought to follow.

My marriage rule is: One person at a time. Each one needs to be of legal age. Keep it within the species.

Okay, it's three part rule.

[2naSalit]

20. It's fucking Idaho...

A state fully owned and operated by the mormons. They have one of the highest rates of child sex abuse. According to them, if you're female, you're considered a virgin until you give birth.

[CousinIT]

21. Sexual & Reproductive Slavery: What the GOP is all about for America's women & girls....

Reproductive Rights and the Long Hand of Slave Breeding

[Ilsa]

23. Here's a quote:

"I do not think courts should be involved in marriage at all," Republican representative Bryan Zollinger said. "I don’t believe there should be a license required to get married. I think two willing people should be able to go and get married."

I wonder if Zollinger would feel that way about Martin marrying Bernard, or Mary marrying Priscilla?

[Evolve Dammit]

24. Jesus H. Keep your d#ck in your pants and obey the laws on marriage. Why can't you do that?

[idahoblue]

25. Idaho...

Where is is legal to kill you child by denying medical care because of religious reasons.

[whistler162]

26. Jerry Lee Lewis, married 13 year old cousin, fans

Loretta Lynn, married at 13, wannabes.

[brewens]

27. I was watching Ken Burns "Prohibition" the other day and they mentioned the age of consent being

ten in some state. I went WTF? I really thought I heard wrong. I backed it up and sure enough, that's what they said. I did a Google search and that confirmed it had been as low as ten at some time in some state/s. I didn't hunt down specifically when and where.

I don't care if it was a hundred years or more ago, the men that wrote that up were sick bastards! Even 16 should have been restricted to boys not much older at least. Older men wanting to have sex with kids was always creepy.

28. Grown enough to marry

Grown enough to marry

[IronLionZion]

29. American republicans are way better than people from "shithole countries"

because?

[Celerity]

30. Grand Old Paedophiles

[wasupaloopa]

31. Isn't 7th Day Adventist's that go house to house

seeking new members?

My neighbor joined them and he is not Morman.

[Celerity]

32. I am sure many religious cults go door to door

My Mormon pic was from this

God Squad
Putting it to the Mormons.

33. Now, now. We coastal elitist need to reach out to the good people of Idaho

and understand them.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

34. People Who Are Obsessed With "The Sanctity Of Marriage," Obviously!

In Kentucky, you can marry your cousin. In Idaho, you can marry a child. All thanks to Republican lawmakers. Because they're all about "the sanctity of marriage."

[Blue Owl]

38. Deeply disturbing

These whackos need to get with the program, pronto...
