As far as I’m concerned, no self-respecting Republican would even watch figure skating, let alone give one of its apparent "princessy" stars with a Commie fetish the time of day.
I mean...girls nancying about on the ice in tight clothes is one thing. But guys? Give me a break.

...because there are no self-respecting Republican in your "big tent" would ever admit to being gay, right Rob?
While they’ll never admit it, I’ll bet there’s more Republicans than just Ken Mehlman, David Drier and Jim Guckert that catch as much figure skating action as they can during commercial breaks of JAG re-runs!

Mcair, unlike you (who has attempted to slam people on this site by calling them gay) I have no problem with homosexuals. I’m related to several and love them dearly. I even support gay marriage, if you can imagine that.
I was just responding to Weir’s absurd comments with a bit of absurd humor. Of course some Republicans probably enjoy mens figure skating. I’m not one of them, but whatever.

You must have me confused with someone else. Since you’re now accusing me, show me the post where I have slammed anyone as gay. I’m a liberal - we could care less about a persons sexual orientation.
On the other hand, I don’t have to tell you that you are in a distinct minority within the Republican party that doesn’t openly abhor gay people.
You support gay marriage? Good for you. Would you tell the rest of the dumb fucks in your party that two guys getting married doesn’t make their marriage any less sound? Thanks.

Mcair, since you’re an oh-so-sensitive liberal I suppose you were using the word "gay" as meaning "happy" when you made this comment.
As for Republicans abhoring gays, I’m not sure that’s entirely accurate. Most of the Republicans I know are fairly ambivalent toward gay marriage, they just don’t want to see our Constitution tossed aside to appease gay activists.
Which isn’t to deny that there are some fools on the right who hate gays, but then there are idiots on both sides of the aisle. That hardly proves your point.

I don’t give a crap who he sleeps with: he needs to get his skating act together, improve his technical performance, and stop wasting time making political statments.
Of course liberals care about sexual orientation. If it weren’t about separating people out by identifiable differences, liberals would have nothing to talk about. Heaven forbid anyone be judged by their merits in the liberal community. Everyone is a representative of an oppressed minority, good only for the numbers. And last I checked, no one was defined by a single characteristic, let alone defining oneself by who one sleeps with being a fairly superficial way to identify oneself.
I agree with Rob, and I’m in the courtroom defending the Constitution day in and day out: you want gay marriage? Vote for it. Do it the democratic way. The Constitution doesn’t need to be perverted to appease any special interest groups, let alone for a social fad.

Ah, I get it! Did you read the post that occurs immediately prior to mine? Who is calling who gay? The guy you left in charge while you were away - I merely called him on his BS.
As far as the constitution is concerned, there is no provision that would prevent gay marriage. None. All the talk has been about introducing an amendment to make it illegal - and that push is coming from your side. Interesting that you mention this within hours of castigating a poster for challenging the "connection between AQ and Saddam" that you guys are no doubt praying becomes an election issue once again, since no doubt we’ll also soon be hearing the "gay marriage amendment" drums being banged hard by the so-called Christian right.
Now that you’ve made your position on gay marriage known, I look forward to your posts that condemn GOP’s ongoing marginalization of the gay community as cheap political posturing.

Weir’s skating is definately sub-par. On the ice your political opinion is not relevent whether your figure skating or playing hockey. And speaking of sub-par, God did the American Hockey team blow yesterday. Whats up with that?

mcairhead, just form a sub chapter S corporation with whatever guy you want to marry and move on with your life.

You tried to insult him by calling him gay.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, mcair.

Gay marriage is a constitutional issue in that the gay rights proponents are trying to use the 14th amendment to make it legal. They’re wrong.

I generally support states rights in this. If the voters in a state decide that gay marriage should be legal, it will hopefull be made legal by their elected representatives. And vice versa.
