The Florida Republican Party is the driving force behind an organization claiming to be a grassroots initiative to gather signatures to amend the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage according to a published report.

An investigation by the St. Petersburg Times into funding for the Florida4Marriage has found that of the $193,000 that has been raised by the group $150,000 came from a single donator - the Florida Republican Party.

The paper says that the donation was made in a single check on Nov. 25.

"It certainly was helpful," Florida4Marriage chair John Stemberger tells the Times

these folks are sick. Instead of fixing what's wrong with the country, they have to get together and tromp on family values........well, other than theirs of course........

3. Golly. Lies and deception from the so-called "values" voters.

There's a surprise.

5. Gosh...and who is the head of the Florida Republican Party?

Why...none other than Governor Jebbie. . .that bible-lickin,' fundy butt-kissin', marriage-hating man. . .

Shouldn't someone down there point out that it was the Republican Party which desperately supported trying to destroy the marriage of the Schiavos?

6. Anyone else find it ironic that

some of the 'marriage protection laws' of old would have kept Jeb from marrying his wife of a different skin color?
Although I think most of those only applied to blacks and whites, not to hispanics, but still. The principle is there. :)
