BILL SIMON'S GAY AGENDA

Campaign for California Families e-mail paraphrasing San Francisco Chronicle article ^ | 28 August 2002 | Campaign for California Families

[Rockitz]

Very disturbing! Join me in voting "no" for governor!

[TheAngryClam]

why, exactly?

[Rockitz]

PAINFUL PING!

[montag813]

Oh go screw. I'm sure that Gray Davis will uphold the sanctity of marriage, huh? And Dick Riordan? Pro-family, right? What idiotic timing for this crap.

[GVnana]

"I am supportive of the concept of a domestic partnership law.

Oh Sh.t! If this is true, Simon is a buffoon.

[montag813]

I like the snippet from Rockitz' blurb: "my mother worked for the Goldwater campaign so my conservative roots are deep". Yeah right, just like Hillary's, huh?

Go back to DU, punk.

Stay home on Nov. 5th folks. Bill Simon's campaign doesn't care about the values or lifestyles of pro-family Californians but it will pursue with ardor those who are clearly opposed to them. It looks like those of us who believe in traditional values have been misled, conned and sold-out. We don't have to vote this November. Please help to send the Simon campaign and the GOP the message that you're sick and tired of being taken for granted and ignored. Its about time our party and its candidates started representing American families in the highest levels of our government.

[TheAngryClam]

to clarify before someone overzealously bans me without realizing that I'm for real, and I've been on FR for a nice long time...

Goldwater himself argued for more tolerance of gay people. Marriages are, at their most basic, stripped of religion level, contracts.

What justification do you have for stripping people of their free will to join a contract? Free will is one of the foundations of all western, republican (small R) freedoms. So I ask a very basic question: why ought we to restrict this very basic and very precious freedom? Is there a justification?

[Rockitz]

Forgive me, but it would be difficult to explain to someone from Berkley. Hope you understand. Love and kisses.

[Captainpaintball]

It seems he is more interested in courting the perverted losers in the Democrtic ranks than asking conservatives to vote for him. This gay a$$ kissing scheme will get him about 7 gay votes, and turn off 7000 Republicans. What a maroon.

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

Unreal. If there was a way to get the conservative right to stay home on election day, this is it.

[ST.LOUIE1]

LOL!

[TheAngryClam]

see post #9 for reasoning behind it.

Also, I grew up in Placer county in John Doolittle's district. That is deep in conservative country, good mountain people who like their guns and property and hate their taxes. Berkeley has nothing to do with it. I loathed that city and graduated from the university early to escape it.

Additionally, I worked for Simon in the primary. People who paid attention on FR know this.

That said, I still want to hear the why.

[SolomonSemperFi]

I am a Conservative Evangelical Christian....then....a Republican.

Excluding what the bible says......the Gay Lifestyle taken to its extreme....eradicates humanity......Hello?

[goldstategop]

Say what you like about the Governor, but at least he isn't a hypocrite like Simon is. Simon is going to have his clock cleaned in November and not because he's a conservative but rather because he isn't running as one. When voters are asked to choose between two cultural liberals the answer's pretty clear.

[GVnana]

Marriages are, at their most basic, stripped of religion level, contracts.

au contrare! Marriages originated as a covenant between a man and a woman. Renaming something doesn't change it.

What justification do you have for stripping people of their free will to join a contract?

No one has stripped you of the right to contract.

Free will is one of the foundations of all western, republican (small R) freedoms. So I ask a very basic question: why ought we to restrict this very basic and very precious freedom? Is there a justification?

I thought you were talking contracts? How is free will violated?

[Lion's Cub]

I guess Bush made him an offer he couldn't refuse--the price of presidential support.

[JameRetief]

Um, this isn't exactly "breaking news" material. Similar information has already been posted (yesterday in fact, shortly after noon, and is still in the "Extended News" headlines): Simon supports domestic partnerships, angers conservative backer.

[kitkat]

It sure was sneaky of Simon to wait until AFTER Bush went to two fund raisers for him to make this announcement. I thought Lieberman was bad enough changing his mind on issues to get votes, but Simon flip flops like a beached fish.
