Of course. She’s a RINO.

I expect her to have degenerate views.

Like all other RINO trash.

Pedophiles, Polyamorists, the incestuous and bestial, are all waiting to catch the bridal bouquet.

They’re up next.

No sexual perversion will be barred the sancion of “marriage” now that the floodgates are opened.

Our answer to Barbara Boxer speaks!

Soon she'll sponsor a bill for state-paid sex-change operations, so Male Homo Lumberjacks can become Lesbian Lumberjacks ... leastwise for the Summer.

Come Fall, L'il Suzie will want us to pay to change'em back again.

The homofascists will try to say that pedophelia is not a choice; they are born that way and that they are simply trying to express their “love” to the children they are molesting. How I hate the moral compass of the homos, especially their pangenders (has sex with anyone especially freaks)

If only.

No, it’s “group marriage”.

You know, two or more of anything of any gender, whether virtual or real, getting “married”. Could include not just men and women, not just LGBTQB&D, but children, goats, tractors, and other fetishes.

I think the newspaper’s name was mis-spelled in this case :)

Attention:
All Those From Away!

Unless you are a member of the Kennedy Klan, it's pronounced

bang-OAHr

As Teddy once said when asked if he were going there,
"Bangor? Why I hardly knew her!"

And if you know your state history, it's kinda how Suzie got the job in the first place.

If the GOP moves far enough left, just think, they may even nominate for President and head of the party, the Governor who gave America “gay marriage”, and who supported gay Scout leaders and homosexualizing the military, long before it was ‘cool’.

** If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.

We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.

As we begin the final phase of this campaign, I need your support more than ever. By working together, we will achieve the goals we share for Massachusetts and our Nation.

Sincerely,

W. Mitt Romney**
