Democratic Presidential candidate Howard Dean on Wednesday for Senator Rick Santorum to resign his leadership post after the lawmaker compared homosexuality to bigamy, polygamy, incest and adultery.
'Gay bashing is not a legitimate public policy discussion, it is immoral.
Rick Santorum's failure to recognize that attacking people because of who they are is morally wrong makes him unfit for a leadership position in the United States Senate.'

Ol eaglebeak did a pretty good job hanging around FR for a liberal. But I guess Santorum made her (yep, turns it it was a her) pop a gasket and blow her cover. Sooner or later that happens to libs here - they just can take it any more and have to burst out in a display of raw emotionalism.

What'd they do that for? I mean sure, claiming Dean is more conservative than most Freepers is a crime against reality...

He attacked Rush on another thread.
That's an automatic DQ.

Oh, but it is.
I don't want all stigma removed from every sex act.
That will leave the door open for Federal and State tax money to go for sex education to elementary students. How would you feel if all such sex acts were taught to your children? And don't tell me it won't, because there will not be a legal recourse to stop it.
Grow up.
To: lugsoul
I already did. It's located above.
It's not so hard to grasp.
Taking my comments out of context is no better than what Lara Jordan did to Rick Santorum.
To: chachacha
There is no connection between the Lott/Santorum remarks, no matter what your stand on protected class may be.
Focusing on the matter at hand.
To: dirtboy
Why is Dean so squeamish about discussing this "stuff" as he calls it?
To: mabelkitty
Once again, you have nothing but slurs and invective. "Above" - identify where you addressed this issue 'above' - you didn't. You took an indefensible position and you've been running ever since. Because you don't want to admit that you believe it is wrong for gays and okay for heterosexuals, and you know you can't support that position legally. End of story.

Can you say (troll) good poster?

Why is Dean so squeamish about discussing this "stuff" as he calls it?He had no problem signing a law in Vermont for gay marriage. So I would guess that he is being a political opportunist, and, now that the war is over, he's desperate for some face time as people resume ignoring him.

I'm new here.
Please please guide me to liberal trolls before I waste valuable debate and talking points on them.
I don't ask for much. Really. But a little Big Brother/Big Sister would help out so much and save me time and energy.
To: lugsoul
Then you have to throw out abortion.
The privacy rights issue was created for abortion and this is the test of the sodomy law.
All points back to Hillary.

Please please guide me to liberal trolls before I waste valuable debate and talking points on them. Hey, that troll was here for almost three year before anyone noticed her. Some are better at lying low than others. I guess Santorum's comments were just too much for her liberal mindset.

You are new here? That hasn't stopped you from making fun of other posters' "member since" dates, has it?
Oh, you are looking for liberal posters? Like maybe those who don't believe laws should be applied equally to all Americans?
Here's a mirror for ya.

To: mabelkitty
Could you please post something that makes sense? How in the world does the legality of laws passed into existence before Hillary was even born "all go back to Hillary?"
And could you explain how striking a sodomy law requires outlawing abortion?
What am I saying? Of course you can't. You're just pulling this stuff out of your butt.
