Arnold and those craaazy gay Republicans

Well, Arnold vetoed a couple of bills. At least, he says he is going to veto the gay marriage bill, which sucks, but at least I get a chance to mock those crazy gay republicans. The ones who are let into the back of the convention, allowed to give their cash, and then berated incessantly by the platform. They deserve the veto, although unfortunately, the vast majority of the gay population doesn't. If I got to decide things, actually, I would let gays marry except for gay republicans, because if you are masochistic enough to call yourself a republican if you are gay, well, then, you would probably enjoy being deprived of the right to marry. Hell, it is like S and M, but through campaign financing, skipping the dominitrix middleperson. They are almost as bad as those muslims who live in New Jersey and London and who claim to hate the West, which is fine and all, but it reminds me of Donny Wahlberg criticizing being a packaged teen pop star.

So the gay republicans say they belong to the party of Lincoln, and if Lincoln was running I might vote for him. If there were more Republicans like Christine Whitman and John McCain, I might even think that Gay Republicans were onto something, but most Republicans are like Jerry Falwell and George Bush and Dick Cheney and Ralph Reed and James Spongebob Dobson and they really hate gay people, or at least they like to have a good scapegoat and the gays are up there.

However, I live on 19th Avenue and people get killed all the time. Arnold vetoed this bill

and I guess, aside from pandering to the valued bigot and self-hating gay groups, the reckless driver constituency also needs its props.
