ENDA [Matthew Shepard Act] passes in the Senate...

the vote: 60 - Yeas; 39 - Nays; 1 - Not Voting (McCain)

ALL 39 Nays were Republicans. Courageous Republicans voting Yea: Coleman (R-MN), Collins (R-ME); Gregg (R-NH); Lugar (R-IN); Smith (R-OR); Snowe (R-ME); Specter (R-PA); Voinovich (R-OH); Warner (R-VA); voting with them Sanders (I-VT) as did Senator Lieberman (ID-CT)! [I wonder if the sky is going to fall?]

Of course, the Christianist right-wingnut authoritarians are having a fit and will now go into fanatic mode and redouble their efforts. The bill now goes to a Joint Committee with the House, and Tsar George W. has already said he'd veto it.

Authoritarians must have a boogey man. LGBT has been it for the last several years since their are no commie pinkos any more. Don't forget, same-sex marriage is going to destroy the institution of marriage.

Never you mind that the latest statistics show that 60% of marriages do not make it to the ten-year anniversary!

I think it is fairly obvious that straight marriage doesn't need any help in destroying itself. The breeders are doing an excellent job all on their own.

now, exactly how is it that you spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y?

just asking...
