I rant to open webspace because it doesn't argue back.

BREAKING: Obama Embraces Marriage Equality

stfuhatemongers:

sageoflogic:

OBAMA: I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.

Translation: Well the Conservatives already hate me as much as possible because I’m Black and they’re racist; so I might as well be open about my support for this instead of quiet like I have been. 

At least he’ll get his supporters back on board.

Breaking News!

Rick Santorum has finally (I mean—achem—recently) declared on national TV that he will be pulling out. A little gauche, but the man likes to keep us updated. [tell me you caught my sexual innuendo. no? moving on.] That’s right, Santorum is out! Mitt Romney will personally host his going-away party. Gingrich is also expected to be in attendance, where he will drink himself into oblivion amidst loud proclamations of reduced government and his own refusal to give up and go home.

cartoonpolitics: The Supreme Court is due to hear arguments by the end of April on Arizona’s controversial immigration law. How the court rules will affect similar laws in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Indiana and Utah. The result should be known by June 2012.

Anonymous asked: Can you possibly explain the appeal of Santorum? I understand you're not the biggest fan of him, but I just don't understand how someone even CAN be a fan of him, let alone how millions of people are.

This question is especially pertinent now that Santorum has taken Louisiana. I am a person who avoids extremes. I am a raised, baptized, and confirmed Catholic, but I do not believe government should have the power to ban contraceptives, nor do I think that it is a legitimate and worthwhile political subject. Some people, however, thrive on such extremes. There are liberals who would like to chew up and spit out every bit of conservative legislation that tries to pass, and vice versa. Santorum is an extreme conservative, and there are people that want that. There are enough “very strong conservatives” out there (like much of Louisiana) to support his campaign. Again, I don’t think there are ENOUGH to see him to the white house, and the same goes for any freaky uber-liberal candidate (which, arguably, Obama isn’t). Personally, I do not see Santorum as viable competition against Romney or Obama, so I tend to not worry about him. He’s charming, he is (in many people’s eyes) a “true” conservative, and he knows how to hold his own for the most part. That’s as much as I can guess as far as his “appeal” with Americans.
