J.D. Hayworth, McCain's opponent, fears people marrying horses

Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) primary challenger, former Arizona congressman J.D. Hayworth, warned this past weekend that the same-sex marriage decision handed down by the Massachusetts Supreme Court is so loose in its logic and wording that it could lead to a man marrying his horse.

Appearing on Orlando, Fla. radio station WORL on Sunday, the Arizona conservative had what could be described as a Rick Santorum "man on dog" moment.

"You see, the Massachusetts Supreme Court, when it started this move toward same-sex marriage, actually defined marriage -- now get this -- it defined marriage as simply, 'the establishment of intimacy,'" Hayworth said. "Now how dangerous is that? I mean, I don't mean to be absurd about it, but I guess I can make the point of absurdity with an absurd point -- I guess that would mean if you really had affection for your horse, I guess you could marry your horse. It's just the wrong way to go, and the only way to protect the institution of marriage is with that federal marriage amendment that I support."

The man's a genius! How did he discover my evil plan to marry my horse? How?

[CreekDog]

2. what about horse's asses?

i'll bet he would approve. :think:

[hobbit709]

10. He IS a horse's ass.

[LeftishBrit]

31. Well, the Emperor Caligula put a horse in the Senate..

And Hayworth wants the people of Arizona to put a horse's ass into the Senate!

[rurallib]

3. Current law did not stop his wife from marrying a horse's ass

a full horse would be an upgrade for her.

[no_hypocrisy]

Nobody, including Catherine the Great, has ever wanted to marry a horse.

5. Oh I dunno, there was this one back in the Summer of '86.....

:P

4. Why do these people always use horses as an example? Creepy

:scared:

[Ozymanithrax]

6. As I recall, you have to sign a marriage license to get married...

I've never seen a horse capable of signing a marriage license or entering into a legally binding contract.

But if you find a horse in the US that can sign a legally binding contract, and understand it, then we should let that horse marry.

Sounds like more man dog Rick Santorum business.

7. McCain has become a joke, but this guy

scares me to death. When he was in congress before I would get sick hearing his voice. He is a clown, but we have been know to elect clowns before.

[Catshrink]

9. Trent Franks comes to mind.

How embarrassing!

[BonnieJW]

8. This may be

the break John has been waiting for. I am from AZ, but I can't believe it's become that stupid that people would vote for this kind of jerk. Rick Santorum used this same comparison and was voted out.

11. Has his wife been taking very long rides out in the country with Trigger?

[HeresyLives]

12. Hmmm. In Canada it was dogs.

Same sex marriage would lead to people marrying dogs, they said.

You have to wonder about the minds of the people who would think of this first thing...like I said, hmmm.

[spanone]

13. so if mccain loses, arizona gets another bat-shit crazy republican candidate

[ck4829]

14. Seriously, pulling the bestiality card... again?

[Sinistrous]

15. Is Hayworth channeling Santorum?

[Sebastian Doyle]

16. Probably closer to Neal Horsley

Not just because of his name, but because he's an admitted mulefucker.

23. First thing come to mind when scanning this OP title line was Horsley!

[JBoy]

20. Well, they have the same nightmare about where this could really lead:

[nykym]

18. The only people IMO that

would marry a horse are Republicans if you can call them people!

[RaleighNCDUer]

19. IOW, he believes gays are less than human. nt

[11 Bravo]

21. Sounds like J D is projecting his Flicka fetish.

[kiranon]

22. Just say "Neigh!" n/t

[asdjrocky]

24. Those big brown eyes just get to you, ya know?

[belpejic]

25. I'm not sure what a man-horse relationship would result in.

Not santorum (http://www.spreadingsantorum.com/), but definitely something along those lines. Maybe we should ask Ken Starr.

[Warpy]

26. Republicans just can't seem to recognize the concept of "consent."

I suppose that most of them have never experienced it for themselves or with their partners.

[tanyev]

27. Funny how right-wingers' minds go there so often.

I'm starting to get concerned for the animals they own.

[damntexdem]

28. Well, sure, he's afraid that they'll marry his ass.

;-)

Then we'd see how much his hay is worth.

[Arkana]

29. Well, we got man on box turtle from Cornyn, how about man on horse?

And Hayworth, FYI, looks like he fucked a few mules in his time.

30. There go my plans for the coming year.

Dang!
