They tried this crap in Oregon about three times and we kept saying no. Here's hoping for sanity in the Show Me State.

They believe they are christians while in all reality they are not. Ones actions have to reflect ones beliefs. I'm a catholic but I don't sway repub just because alot of my fellow parish members do, I think for myself and can see through the republicans horse shit. Most of the Repub's doctrine isn't moral let alone christian. I make my own choices and live my faith.
