Yeah, no.
Can I hang out with the people who run Barack Obama’s Tumblr?
Also, the HRC reported a couple days ago that Mitt Romney donated $10,000 to the National Organization for Marriage in 2008. Yeah, fuck him.

"He [Rick Santorum] is a staunch opponent of abortion, even in the case of rape. Even in the case of rape, telling CNN recently that a woman, in that case, should, and I quote, ‘make the best out of a bad situation, and accept the gift from God.’ Wow. I think women should say the same thing to Santorum, Andy, after from now until the end of his weaselly life, they see him in the street and kick him in the fucking balls. ‘Please accept this gift from God, Rick, this pointed-shoed gift to your plums. Why are you rolling around on the ground crying, Rick? Please make the best out of this bad situation. In fact, rejoice, because I believe another lady is coming over to gift you with another high-velocity nut shot. Praise be, Rick! God is graciously raining gifts into your groinal area, you fucking douche.’"

Republican rehabilitation!
By voting for Ron Paul, you hereby agree to a major reality check. (and you need to grow up)
By voting for Mitt Romney, you hereby agree to a period of rehabilitation.
By voting for Newt Gingrich, you hereby agree to intense rehabilitation and/or ECT.
By voting for Rick Santorum, you hereby agree to a lobotomy.
This article is fantastic for those on the left who are less-than-impressed by President Obama. Don’t lose sight of what he has done (and what his plan is). The point is that Obama is and always has been “planning for eight years, not four.” He has his goals in sight, folks.
Apparently Gingrich has forgotten that one of the huge points of his campaign is to “protect the sanctity of marriage.” If he hadn’t pretended to be a moral crusader out to save the world from the LGBT community, this question would have been out of place. Instead, a question about his infidelity (and his allegedly approaching his 2nd wife about an open marriage) that came about after his ex-wife’s recent interview is completely fair game.
If you think you can tell the country what is moral and immoral and then be surprised when we ask you about your second case of adultery (yes, he cheated on his first wife while she was dying in the hospital) you are obviously not a very smart man.
When you go home to your third wife tonight, I hope you sleep well as you continue your campaign to save marriage from vicious attacks by monogamous LGBT couples.
Please stop assuming I will back Ron Paul because I’m progressive, support ending the drug war, and wish to abolish our current imperialist system of meddling in world affairs.
There’s numerous reasons to not support Paul. I’m going straight to a sampling of the…
"We want to make it possible to have those things that are most intimately human between friends… It is a huge jump from being understanding and considerate and concerned, which we should be, to saying we therefore are going to institute the sacrament of marriage as though it has no basis…"

Newt Gingrich at the ABC Republican debate tonight.
So, people in committed, same-sex relationships are just “friends” and cannot be involved in something as holy as marriage because we will ruin its sanctity… says the man who cheated on his first two wives.
Also, I am so sick of Republicans acting like the “institution of marriage” has never changed. You know, because white people still can’t marry black people, women are still the property of their husbands, and King Solomon could totally have 700 wives today. Nope, marriage hasn’t changed a bit.
He’s seriously been disappointing me lately. When I learned of his lack of compassion, that was the first bummer… But now this? Ugh.
A message to future “family values” politicians.
Hello. I don’t know you and I probably won’t like you. You see, legislating morality is a slippery slope (you see what I did there? I used your term) that can only lead to something worse than a “nanny state,” and that is a “daddy” state.
But I have a word of advice. Before you start your “I’m going to save America!” diatribe as a moral crusader, please at least have the respect for your audience to deal with the skeletons in your closet.
Better yet, don’t put any skeletons in your closet in the first place.
Those of us who do not blindly support a party (and subsequently accept their warped sense of right and wrong) do not take kindly to being treated like idiots. If you are going to talk to us about propriety, don’t screw around on your wife.
Thank you.
Please forward a copy of this to Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich in the past.
