More GOP Mis-Statements

Wow, it's only been hours since I posted about the Sen. Allen making a racist remark and now it appears that the Republican canidate for Governor, Bob Beauprez, in Colorado has chosen as his running mate a woman, Mesa County commissioner Janet Rowland, who referred to same sex marriage as beastiality. The Democratic canidate for Governor demanded the Republican drop Rowland from the ticket. But:

Beauprez campaign manager John Marshall said Rowland regretted the remark and has apologized.

"We all say things we don't mean sometimes,'' Marshall said. ''That's what happened.''

Ah, she said something she didn't mean, well do you think it's a step up from saying something you didn't know was a racial epithet? (oh, I guess I was wrong when I said that they weren't still targeting gay people)

Romney appeared with Trent Lott today. Next stop is Bob Jones U, apparently. Can you say pandering?

To Boo: funny how you haters are the only ones sniffing others' hemlines. But I guess a juvenile approach like that should be expected from people whose brain ceased development at, what, 14?

Boo, if you read your original post, you'll see how it doesn't necessarily come across as pro-gay. Either way, I was correct regarding your mental age. Having to rely heavily on "dumbass", which you can't even spell correctly, just proves my point. Ciao Chico!
p.s. And a double "dumbass" on you! Nya nya! Phtht!

Um, I gotta agree with boo on this one. The anonymous above obviously misread boo's first post and didn't see the blatant sarcasm. Maybe he was tired or something. But then when he came back and refused to acknowledge his misstep -- well, I think his blind ignorance is apparent to anyone reading this thread. Except to himself, of course.

Back to the original topic:

Rowland said she had gay friends and doesn't hate gays.

"We all say things we don't mean sometimes," Marshall said. "That's what happened."

OK, so Rowland doesn't have gay friends and she does hate gays. I'm down with that.
