1. And then, if we allow people to marry clocks, they will want to marry cars.

Mr. Deal, will you take this Chevrolet to be your lawfully wedded wife?

I do.

2. Just wow

But there's one positive note there for Kleefitsch. I suppose if people marry tables, they will have kids with wooden heads. Who will obviously grow up to vote Republican.

I have at least two chairs in my house that would be eligible for Social Security. And I have an end table with a wobbly leg that should qualify for Medicare.

Wisconsin GOP Lt. Governor candidate Rebecca Kleefisch: Gay marriage like 'marrying dogs'
by GoPride.com News Staff
October 28, 2010

Madison, Wis. — Rebecca Kleefisch, the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin, said on Thursday she's sorry for comparing gay marriage to marriages with dogs, tables or clocks.

On Thursday, after being targeted by protesters at UW-Waukesha, she issued a new statement.

"My comments were meant to relay my concern with redefining marriage," the statement read. "I never intended to sound insensitive and have the utmost respect for all people. I apologize for my poor choice of words."

Her gay uncle, Chris Pfauser, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that Kleefisch had been friendly with him until she got political aspirations.

"I don't feel she is qualified - even less qualified than Sarah Palin would have been for the VP role," Pfauser told the Journal-Sentinel. "At least Sarah had some government experience. Becky has been a journalist and to my knowledge never managed a person in her life, needless to say a state and thousands of state workers."

37. So what?

a) If a table can say "I do", then there's nothing wrong with marrying one.

b) Even if a table can't say "I do", marrying it won't do any harm.

[dimbear]

38. Typical American couple: a Lazyboy and an icebox.

[Dinger]

39. I Saw That Fucking Nutcase At A Packer Game Last Week

Immediately walked the other way. Puke:puke:

[Better Believe It]

41. I wish you would have said something to her like "how's your shrink doing?"

If you're a woman you might have smiled and said very seriously within earshot of everyone (including the media I would hope): "I'll never forget that wonderful night we spent together at the Best Western motel .... you were so sexy!" and quickly disappear into the crowd.

Now that would have been funny!

[Dinger]

42. Damn, Too Late

Shit:evilgrin:

P.S. I am a female.

[Better Believe It]

45. Next time! That or you might come up with something even better to embarass her!

[B Calm]

40. Their will be gangs of happily married gay couples roaming the

streets late at night to gang rape straight people, thus turning straight people into crazed homosexuals who make love to furniture. Oh the humanity of it all. . .

[ThoughtCriminal]

43. Sometimes I wonder where they get this stuff, then I remember:

PROJECTION.

And then I feel creeped out.

[Skittles]

44. very telling analogy

it is readily apparent that Ms. Kleefisch does not consider gay folk to be human beings

[Catshrink]

46. Next thing you know it will be cars

48. My dog has better and cheaper health insurance than I do.

Even though I pay for it. If I could marry him and get on his policy, I would have better health insurance. But the Republicans wouldn't like that either. :shrug:

[HuckleB]

51. No offense, but that argument isn't much better than what Kleefisch is offering.

[undeterred]

54. Well, some people get married for insurance.

And corporations are people. Oh, its all so confusing.

:banghead:

[HuckleB]

49. "She's also making an economic argument against this (gay marriage) as well."

Says the idiot "reporter."

If that's true, let's abolish legal marriage of all kinds and save the economy!

:crazy:

[kenny blankenship]

50. But it's OK that her husband married a footstool?

Seems like a double standard to me.

[HuckleB]

52. Someone married her?

Yikes.

[24601]

53. Wow - a real woodie! n/t
