Robocall tells Iowans to ask Democratic candidate about ‘homosexual sex acts’
Soutce: Raw Story
By Eric W. Dolan

Citizens of Iowa Senate District 18 received a robocall on Monday night instructing them to call Democratic candidate Liz Mathis and ask what homosexual acts she approved of, according to the Des Moines Register.

“Homosexual marriage obviously involves homosexual sex. So before you support Liz Mathis, call her at 319-899-0628 and ask her which homosexual sex acts she endorses,” the automated call said.

Mathis is facing off against her Republican opponent, Cindy Golding, in the November 8 special elections. Mathis supports marriage rights for same sex couples, while Golding supports a proposed constitutional marriage amendment that would define marriage as solely between one man and one woman.

The election could determine the fate of the proposed amendment. If Mathis wins, Democrats will keep their majority in the state Senate. But if Golding wins, control of the Senate will be split equally.

1. Of course, nobody knows who did this last minute well-pissing
And for sure, Cindy Golding has no idea whatsoever that anyone would ever do such a despicable low-down dirty trick. On her behalf or for her benefit. Thanks again, Supreme Court.

2. someone should sue the "robocall" generators for
pushing sexual talk onto their kids at home ... and present the answering machine message as evidence ...

and if the calls did not originate in the state ... hoo, boy! Sexual soliciting of a minor over state lines ...

3. Why am I always surprised at the depth of disgusting these "citizens"
can fall too. Golding should be ashamed.

5. And on the evening local news in this area, both Liz Mathis
and Cindy Golding denounced the call and Golding apologized and surprisingly pointed to out of state interference in the local election. It was quite refreshing to hear both sides treat the voters with the respect they deserve.

6. EASY answer: "I don't think that what married couples do in their bedroom is any of my business."

(edit - optional) "Exactly which ones did YOU have in mind?"


There. That wasn't so hard, now, was it?
