    In spite of right wing hyperbole up the contrary, no Democrats think that communism is a workable ideal. Meanwhile, Tea Party types think that pure libertarianism is actually plausible.
    Yep, it's the difference between mainstream and desperation.

    For those who believe there is no difference between the parties, there is that.

    Just because "the other side" does something dickish, doesn't give one a free pass. Liberals constantly complain about the dishonesty of American conservatives, and then turn around and do the same shit. It's frustrating.

    In the Game of Politics, you win or you settle for a moderately large salary and a comfortable lifestyle that's still better than your constituents. I can see why they're under a lot of pressure.

    Isn't banning marriage altogether even MORE unbiblical than allowing gay marriage?

    Actually Bible never said that God said that Thou, or we all, shall get married! Plus, in heaven, there'll be no more marriages. So it's kinda sad that we're making such a huge deal about this.

    Banning marriage isn't more or less biblical, it's just stupid.
