What's Fat Teddy getting so upset about? He likes this legislation because it meeans nothing to him; all his family's crimes are male on female (at least, so far as we know).

I wish they would outlaw murder and rape and theft while they're at it!

"House Republicans have infuriated homosexual advocacy groups -- as well as Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.)..."

Hip Hip Hooray!

The Human Rights Campaign, one of the nation's largest homosexual advocacy groups, also blasted the House Republican leaders for killing a measure that had "broad bipartisan support."

Well, apparently it had even more broad bipartisan opposition.

What they need to do is simply increase the penalty for crimes where the sole purpose of the crime is to inflict damage or pain upon the victim and the primary motive is simply that the assailant didn't like the victim. That should cover just about everything without worrying about what the assailant was thinking about at the time.

I said we'd be sorry that Karl Rove insisted on saving Arlen Specter.

"Sens. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.). Gordon Smith (R-Ore.), and Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) sponsored the measure."

Specter isn't just an occasional RINO. He has a long history of troublemaking. He doesn't just vote on bills where his vote doesn't really count.

We have been promised that he will support President Bush's Supreme Court nominees after the election. I don't believe it for a minute. The man is a total scum. We'd have been better off with a Democrat in his seat, if necessary.

The hate crime bill needs a name change. No sodomite left behind act, or something….

Geez. Why don't they just take care of it all at once - everything is a hate crime unless its against a white male Republican.

Clearly, Senator Kennedy, has become a disgrace to his brothers, John's politics and and Robert's morals. In other words, once again, Teddy's gone wild and he's all wet. Cause he's a philanderer...yes, a philanderer...he's sleeps around, around, around, around, AROUND!!!

This is one reason that I could care less whether Specter wins or loses. He definitely is a RINO.

***"Since the September 11th attacks, we've had a shameful increase in the number of hate crimes committed in our country against Arabs and Muslims -- murders, beatings, arson, attacks on mosques, shootings, and other assaults."***

What's Fat Teddy drinking these days? We ALREADY have a hate crime law covering religion and nationality. He's pandering, pandering, pandering.
