NY Gay Marriage Bill Declared 'Dead On Arrival' In Senate

2. Stinking Republican human-animal hybrids
Now that I've gotten that off my chest I've been meaning to ask, TechBear, about the status of the Washington State measure to require all married couples to have babies. That is one brilliant idea. I hope you're still running with it.

3. thereby proving my point, that no matter how often we say that republicans and democrats are just
the same in regards to gay rights, they aren't.

6. Won't allow it to come to a vote?
Isn't the GOP usually the party that screams, "Up or down vote!!!" :eyes:

7. Only when it's convenient, Batty, only when it's convenient.

It's the same game they play with "States' rights"
