House Passes Gay Hate Bill, White House Threatens Veto.
So the House rules in a 230-180 vote in favor of the Bill of Rights, Constitution and Americans... and Bush is a fucking idiot. If he vetos this bill the Republicans will be fucked in 2008. My sources in the Senate have informed me that they expect the bill will pass as well, but aren't sure when the Senate will take up the debate. Unfortunately they do not believe it will pass with a 2/3 majority which is needed in both the House and Senate to override a Presidential Veto. |

it appears so... but I wouldn't underestimate the power of the Dark Side. The Republican debate tonight will shead more light on their plans for 2008. They have a strong candidate in Rudy Giuliani and Senator McCain maybe a threat. Of course we'll have to wait until the primaries next year to have a clearer idea. Also, I think Giuliani is to moderate for the conservatives in the Bible Belt to win the primary, but you never know.
The Democrats need to step up and define the party platform early on in the debates. They have very strong candidates in Hilary Clinton and Barak Obama... It will most likely come down to those two in the Primaries. However, like in 2004 election, if a strong Moral vote comes up again like Gay Marriage... the Democrats are weak. |

Hopefully the angst over gay marriage and abortion has wore off after several election cycles. The Democrats DID manage to win in November 2006, even with several gay marriage bans on the state ballots.
Honestly, I think Iraq is a little more pressing at the moment than allowing same-sex couples to marry. Eventually, the American public will wake up. (Read: "Eventually" is hopefully November 2008) |

The hate crimes act passed by the house also includes Gender Identity/Expression
See the House of Representatives doesn't fail... just the Executive branch. |

Oh dear...
The President's approval rating is at the lowest of any president in a generation, and the Republicans are considering splintering on the issue of Iraq. How awful. |

Really? Then I suppose you don't have a problem with people who think it's hilarious when people talk about adding sexual orientation to hate crimes legislation... or National Origin which is also a completely cultural and societal construct which you claim gender indentity is.

- Besides, I don't really think that being black, Mexican, w/e is something that you "socially construct". I'd also like to say, that I was not laughing at the fact that they are protected by laws, I think thats good. I Just think the term is completely hilarious. |

As for Mexican, it is completely a societal construct, along with every other national origin... why? Because the idea of countries is also a societal construct. They change over time, people fight wars, sign treaties, ect and the land of the "Country" changes. People are pretty much the same, whether they be French, American (especially for the US, since we are basically a melting pot for everything else), English, Chinese, Mexican, whatever... When you break it down to the cellular level the only real difference between human beings are the three different types of Mitochondria. |

All races have their own political, sociological and cultural classification, that is part of what makes them a race. National Origin deals specifically with the country you were born in. A person born in England, is English. A person born in Japan is Japanese. People born in the United States are American... are you getting my point? Race and National Origin are not always the same thing. I have friends from South Africa that are white... see not the same... or would you like me to explain it in a different way? |

The Democrats are stuffed with Hilary and Obama...right now I'm willing to put at least 1000 bucks on the Republicans to win next election...the price is right, more than double the money for a sure bet.
Not only will the Americans not going to vote a woman or an African American in office - like the French didn't - the Democrats are very well capable of messing things up even further with their stupidity. Therefore, put all your savings, possessions, house and kids on the Republicans win...a new start without Bush, change etc. The Democrats won't be seeing the White House for quite a while I reckon. They only have themselves to blame... |
