If I have learned anything about this political campaign, it is that religion and politics don't mix. This is what the people that wrote our constitution told us years ago, but we just don't listen. If you want lies, deceit, and downright evilness, throw religion into the mix. Is this the American Taliban? These people that say they know the mind of God are insulting our heavenly father by reducing him to our level. We know about the workings of God's mind as much as a newborn does peering at the face of its mother -- it doesn't have a clue.
But, one thing I do know is I don't like paying for some female's abortion just because she wants to wing it some night and gets caught. I still think abortion only in the case of incest, rape, and the health of the mother. Anything else is wrong and just maybe the whole thing is.
I think if a gay couple wants something legal to protect their relationship, then go for a civil union. It would be no different than any business partnership and it is not as if the straight community has such a hot track record when it comes to marriage.
Gay people are human beings and Americans and should be treated as such with all civil rights and privileges as everyone else. I think the argument of it opening the door to marriages with little farm animals is just plain nuts.
I'm tired of the dung throwing at the heads of Democrats. A conservative Democrat, and there are a lot of us, is no different than a conservative Republican and we do not have souls black as Navy coffee. For some reason when the people we elect, of either party, go to Washington or St. Paul, their egos inflate and their understanding of what the people really need is the same as the understanding of a dog watching a card trick.

Minnesota nice? It is a joke and a shameful one at that.
