Republicans to be banned from adopting.

I'm sorry if this is a dupe... but this is a true story that shows how Dems can fight back when Republicans use wedge issues like gay adoption.

Bill Robinson: Republicans Unfit to Adopt

If Ohio State Sen. Robert Hagan's proposal becomes law, Republicans would be barred from adopting. Wednesday night, Hagan wrote a mock proposal to counter one introduced by State Rep. Ron Hood (R-Ashville) aimed at banning gay adoption.

Hagan said that "credible research" shows that adopted children raised in Republican households are more at risk for developing "emotional problems, social stigmas, inflated egos, and alarming lack of tolerance for others they deem different than themselves and an air of overconfidence to mask their insecurities."

For his part, Rep. Hood's legislation, backed by eight other conservative Republican lawmakers, would prefer 22,000 Ohio children to languish in foster care than be adopted or fostered by gay parents.

1. Outstanding Idea

and a clear choice for Americans. Let gays adopt and teach their children to love. Let republicans adopt and teach their children to hate. Its really quite simple and irrefutable. Good for Senator Hagan. And fuck any "conservative" who objects to my take on the issue.

3. Colbert had it perfect the other night when he said,

"Remember, it's more important to send a message to the gay agenda then it is for these kids to have parents."

Not an exact quote, but it was funny as hell.

5. Actually...

Since so many well-known conservatives end up with gay kids - Cheney, Phyllis Schaffly, Randall Terry, Alan Keyes, etc. maybe it should be something about any republican who raises a kid who turns out to be gay has to return all tax benefits given them when they listed their kids as dependents.

Pretending to want to ban republican adoption won't do anything, but bring up the possibility of a republican losing money? Oh, man, panic in the streets.
