Anyone else find themselves appalled but unsurprised that this sort of crap is becoming common again now that the religious right is gaining power again? The Democrats used to be the party of the Old South back in the day. But so much of our political landscape has changed. People will actually vote against their economic and social best interest because the fear of homosexuals and minorities. Religious issues become voting issues, morality becomes legislated, and we return to the middle ages in sanguine flash flood of intolerance and feudalism disguised as righteousness. Fuck religious conservatives. Fuck racists. Fuck homophobes. Fuck corporations. Fuck any politician who will pass on supporting a bill which is good for his or her constituents in order to ensure the support or his or her corporate masters in the next election.
