Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele

Steele: Civil Unions Are “Crazy”

Jim Burroway
February 24th, 2009

Right wing radio host Mike Gallagher asked Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele, “Is this a time when Republicans ought to consider some sort of alternative to redefining marriage and maybe in the road, down the road to civil unions. Do you favor civil unions?”

Steele’s response:

GOP Chairman Michael Steele
No, no no. What would we do that for? What are you, crazy? No.Why would we backslide on a core, founding value of this country? I mean this isn’t something that you just kind of like, “Oh well, today I feel, you know, loosey-goosey on marriage.”

[t0dd]

1. What are you, crazy? or just tolerant?

wait, what? did you just ask me that? what????? no no no no no no no!

Btw, do you have AIM bluedawg? Apparently I can't ask you that in private because I haven't made enough posts here yet (cough.. lame.. cough).

[t0dd]

7. Is that a no? :-)

[bluedawg12]

8. Repeat after me- I am t0dd

Oh wait, am I t0dd?

Are we t0dd? Does t0dd exist.

What im the sound of one t0dd clapping in the forest? :P

What's AIM?

[t0dd]

9. Well, I'm really t0dd2

Is this a riddle?

I'm sure you know what AIM is. You should message me. Or anyone here can. Remember, I'm really t0dd2

[bluedawg12]

10. So it's a t0dd parade?

[t0dd]

11. Hahahah

I love that picture! Thank you.

So you really don't have AIM?

[bluedawg12]

12. LOL it is funny.

What is AIM?

I'm off to bed, I look forward to my morning briefing on AIM, with a hot cuppa Java. :hi:

[t0dd]

13. AOL Instant Messenger. Just a way to communicate with people in real-time through text.

[bluedawg12]

14. Oh those fang dangeled modern contrivences. Pigeons! I like

carrier pigeons. They don't eat much. :rofl:

2. Michael Steele calling someone crazy is like Vitter calling someone a pervert. nt

[bluedawg12]

5. Puff teh Magic Homo lived by the Sea.

[Jamastiene]

3. So, I guess releasing the doves if I ever get married has now officially been

changed to releasing some geese! Ha! Take that, Republicans! :evilgrin:

[bluedawg12]

6. I'll release some

armed drones. :evilgrin:

[sui generis]

15. well I am unlawfully married

but I don't give a shit about the law, so we can just shorten that to married.

You can "redefine marriage" all you want, it doesn't change my marriage.

these people are real bigots, the real deal. I'm trying not to notice that he appears to be an ethnic minority whose culture of origin recently had to face down the EXACT same arguments about interracial marriage.

Woopsie, couldn't help myself. He's a fucking slimebag hypocrite too, but we knew that.

[bluedawg12]

16. The amazing thing is that the repugs are swinging to the right even further

narrowing their base to a tight,nutty, Palin-Jindal core.

And WTF is he talking about core values and founding fathers BS? Core values are about equal justice for all, even if it takes a couple of hundred years fpr each group to arrive at that principle.

[sui generis]

17. always this call to history.

Well we are history right now. I don't need to validate my intellect and heart by referring to "the glory days" to a book of magical "scripture", or the ancient wise elders.

We are wise. Some of us are old enough to be considered ancient (:P), and there are many more enlightened works of "scripture" than just the bible being spoon fed to us on Sundays and any time we need guidance which direction to wipe our asses.

The founding fathers do not live today. I live today. Whatever the founding fathers have to say is irrelevant except as a nod to a historical value system, and it has NO BEARING on our lives today.

The enduring ethos of our democracy is individual freedom. When one individual tells another they don't have freedom, who cares. The law is only meaningful if it applies to everyone equally, otherwise I do NOT consent to be ruled.

18. You hit on something here

this is the same group that always tauts the "strict interpretation" of the Constitution --when it suits them.

Then, when is comes to messing with it and adding DOMA's, oh that's fine they say. :eyes:
