I live in Colorado where the tide is slowly changing from Red to Blue. Unfortunately we have in my opinion, three extremely hateful Republicans in office, Bob Beauprez, Marilyn Musgrave and Tom Tancredo. Hopefully that will change soon but hate is hard to overcome.
Follow me below the fold.....
Bob Beauprez is running for Governer of Colorado and this week he announced that Janet Rowland was going to be his running mate. For those of you who don't know, Janet Rowland was recently on our local Public Broadcasting Channel commenting on Gay marriage. This is what she had to say:
"Homosexuality is an alternative lifestyle. That doesn't make it a marriage." Rowland said.
"For some, bestiality is an alternative lifestyle. Do we allow a man to marry a sheep? At some point, we have to draw a line,"
Unfucking believable in my humble opinion!!!
So a group I belong to called ProgressNow sent Mr. Beauprez petitions asking that he reconsider running with someone besides Rowland.
The response was fitting of his campaign, John Marshall his campaign manager said, "They're bed-wetting, pampered liberals, "No one cares what they say about anything. They have no credibility."
I honestly don't even know what to say. I am both ashamed and scared that these are the kinds of people we have running for office. Obviously Mr. Beauprez is not going to consider changing his running mate.
There is however hopefully some good that can come out of this, and it is that he doesn't get elected. There are even some Republicans in Colorado that are not too happy with his choice of running mate.
"She worries me," said Rep. Mark Larson, R-Cortez. "She's everything that moderate Republicans abhor.
I truly hope that other Republicans see it that way too. However after reading what a few Beuaprez supporters wrote in defense of Rowland and Beauprez I think there is cause for concern.
Here are just a few snippets of what I read, I truly got sick to my stomach reading this...
The Gay Marriage Groups try to paint this beautiful picture of family values and love for one another.However one thing they don't mention is HIV and AIDS is still running rampant in the male homosexual community.They are responsible for spreading it to the non-gay community.
Last school year as I was waiting for my kid to get out of school.There was 2 women standing in front of the school kissing like they were in the back of a car.It was not a pleasant sight and some kids that were waiting for siblings to come out were grossing out.I really don't think this is normal public behavior and certainly shouldn't be on display in front of a school.They expect us to okay this?I've never seen a married couple making out in front of a school.There behavior is abnormal.
and then there is this...
homosexuality should be a crime punishable by jail time and subsequent registration as a sex offender and rehabilitative therapy, much like DUI offenders are required to undergo.
and I had to stop reading after this....
All gays are really the opposite sex in the wrong body. Its true.
we had a gay man come to work wearing makeup acting just like a woman.
Republicans should offer sex change operations if the gay ness is such an issue with them.
I am sitting at my keyboard in total disbelief right now. I can't believe that other people regard fellow human beings with such apathy, ignorance and hate.
I know that my disbelief will only make me work harder and believe stronger that not only is it our job to get these people out of office it is our duty to our fellow citizens and our country.
Here are all the links, I inevitably screw them up when I try to put them in the body of my diary....
