Democrats introduced The Respect for Marriage Act today



Democrats are moving fast to end the insidious DOMA bill. Earlier today, they introduce a new bill that will start the acknowledgment of gay married couples.
The legislation, titled the Respect for Marriage Act, was reintroduced in the House and introduced in the Senate for the first time. 



Should the bill be signed into law, it would repeal a section of DOMA defining marriage at the federal level as between a man and a woman, allowing same-sex couples to be eligible for federal benefits. The bill would not force states to recognize same-sex marriages. 
Democratic lawmakers decided to move on the bill after the Obama administration said it would refuse to defend DOMA in court, questioning the law's constitutionality. A legal panel in the GOP-controlled House later voted to defend the law for the U.S. government. 
This bill will face an uphill battle, but who said civil rights was a easy fight, right?

The Gays of New York are coming for those Traitorous Dems


Well, this is something right here.

Those NY Senators who voted against same-sex marriage is beginning to feel the fire. LGBT groups vow to punish them for the lack of support during last week's hearing.

Gay advocates are on the warpath after the state Senate killed same-sex marriage last week, and few Democratic senators who voted against the bill are safe from their wrath.

After spending more than $1 million to help the Democrats retake the chamber for the first time in decades, powerful gay activists and donors say they'll support challengers against anti-gay-marriage senators in 2010.

"It's going to be a bloodbath," one gay operative predicted. "We're going to use every single weapon in our quiver to take these people out. We either need to replace them or scare the hell out of them so they do the right thing."

Gay activists are considered some of the most effective fund-raisers in state Democratic political circles.

"The community is apoplectic ... and the commitment to building the Democratic majority is over," the operative added. "We won't make the same mistake twice."

Nobody wants your Broke Ass!


With his buddies and career in flames, Joe Lieberman is begging to come back home to the Dems. I guess I saw that coming, with his lover McCrack moving to Loserville.

But my question is... Do they want him back or in the same position? Reid asked Lie Lie to step down from his previous role as chairman of the homeland security committee and do something else. Lie Lie didn't say yay or nay, but tried to appeal to the Dems steering committee.

But seriously does he think they would go over Reid's head? No.

In fact, Reid say this after their discussion:
"Today Senator Lieberman and I had the first of what I expect to be several conversations. No decisions have been made. While I understand that Senator Lieberman has voted with Democrats a majority of the time, his comments and actions have raised serious concerns among many in our Caucus. I expect there to be additional discussions in the days to come, and Senator Lieberman and I will speak to our Caucus in two weeks to discuss further steps."

So it looks like Joe Lie Lie is going to be the new executive assistant to Sasha Obama.

Pride IS a Deadly Sin



The fallout continues in the White House and on Wall Street. The Bailout Bill didn't pass even with the help of Mighty McCain swooping to help.

The package, which was backed by both the Democratic and Republican congressional leadership as well as President Bush, failed in the House by a vote of 228-205.

A majority of Democrats voted for the bill. A majority of Republicans voted against it. The Republican vote was more than 2-1 against the bill.

And what's worst is the fact that the GOP is blaming Pelosi for something she said.

House Minority Leader John Boehner said, "I think that we need to renew our efforts to find a solution that Congress can support. I do believe that we could have gotten there today had it not been for this partisan speech that the speaker gave on the floor of the House."

But what she said wasn't that serious and it shouldn't be that serious when it comes to protecting the country.

This is what she said: "the cost of the bailout is a number that is staggering, but tells us only the costs of the Bush administration's failed economic policies -- policies built on budgetary recklessness, on an anything-goes mentality, with no regulation, no supervision and no discipline in the system."

Really? Like I said, not that serious. But they want to blame her for its failure. If that's case, then those GOP folks are fools and reckless even with their dirty trophy, McCain "leading" them. It's just plan, foolishness.
