So now Bush is for "Gay unions"...
How transparently desperate of him. What will
the Freeps do with this one? Can Rove spin this
somehow to make it look like it has always been
his position?

And how many people are actually stupid enough to
buy into this crap one week before the election?

1. Has anyone had the never to check out FR on this issue?
Next thing you know he will be saying "Abortions for all!" They must be in BIG trouble.

3. What really makes me wonder
is how the fundamentalist Christians will react to that? Do the Republicans have some internal polling that shows that they're losing them and this a desperate attempt to get some "swing-voters?" It doesn't make any sense otherwise.

13. Oh, sweetie...they don't let you into the union until you recruit 20 more.
....the card is like an expresso punchcard to keep track.

17. 20 -- is that all?
Let's see, I've been out for 32 years, so that means an average of .625 lesbians per year. That's a pretty low quota to meet! Anyway, just what kinda documentation do I need to provide for that?

The small print will get ya every time.

Guess I'll just have to start recruiting all over again. It's rather embarassing to be a 50-year old lesbian and not even a card to show for all those decades of hard work undermining the fabric of American Society and eroding the bedrock of Family Values.

5. The penultimate flip-flop.
Edited on Tue Oct-26-04 07:01 PM by Tandalayo_Scheisskop
Craven. Pandering. Simpering. From condemnation of a group of people and all they stand for, to this.

A sad little man, with a sad campaign.

Laugh, gay men and women. Laugh long and loud at him. Openly.

8. Let me see if I can express myself succinctly on this matter....
Hey Bush! Fuck you, you transparent murdering fuckwad nazi and your pandering antics. I wish you better luck when you meet Lucifer for your eternal reward!

Love,
