Now everybody do the propoganda and sing along in the age of paranoia.

Methinks the Republicans in Florida are getting nervous about the 2006 elections. They are talking putting the whole gay marriage thing on the ballot. Unfortunately for them, the petition drive to get this thing on the ballot is losing steam and it appears that it will not see the light of day.

Concerned, the Florida Republican party contributed $150,000 to keep this alive and get it on the ballot. You would think that we were trying to outlaw NASCAR here.

But there is just ONE SMALL THING wrong with this.

Florida already HAS a gay marriage law on the books.

Shortly after Clinton and Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act, Florida lawmakers scrambled to put a law on the books banning Florida marriage.

Almost 9 years ago.

So why the fuss now? Realizing that Democrats may finally get off their ass to exorcise the demons of 2000 and soundly trounce Katherine Harris, plus the general public is fed up with W, Iraq, Tom DeLay, CIA leaks, government spying, faulty Hurricane aid, an even faultier budget, and no prospect of things getting better..... the Florida Republican party is trotting out the issue of boys kissing boys for the November election.

To stir up the evangelicals and toothless rednecks that cheered the bashing in "Boys Don't Cry".

This is extremely hypocritical and well, extremely Republican to say the least.

Remember, Repubs have long ranted about "special interest" groups abusing the amendment process to clog up the Constitution with "unnecessary" amendments.

This is as useless as it gets.

Is anyone surprised really?
