Nonsense. It has been decades since the KKK lynched anyone. They focus on political campaigns and "public debate" and do so a heck of a lot less than NOM and in much less offensive terms.

But now I live in NYC, and am very sad that these Republican senators lost. They totally stuck their necks out for marriage equality, and we were all hoping that if it did not mean political death for them, then other moderate Republicans would also start to support it. A lot of people were watching them. This will slow our inevitable progress. Seriously sucky.

But, yeah. Today rules! Waaahooo!!

*count legally, of course - I don't doubt your marriage counted personally a long time ago already...

The man flat hates faggots, and he's not shy about expressing it.

I don't know anything about these crossover Republican New York State senators who defied their base in the interest of the greater good of their constituents. However, as ignorant as I am, a side of me feels pretty sad for them. It seems like politicians who take courageous stands should be rewarded, not punished. This doesn't encourage other Republicans to cooperate with us and vote their conscience.

But I guess it's nice to see that the NOM headhunters got their pound of flesh for their troubles.

This is the party that says anti-bullying programs are religious discrimination. They want to defend the right to bully gay kids. To death.

They accuse Barack Obama of being an anti-American sleeper agent.

Sometimes Godwin's Law doesn't apply. Sometimes a major American political party really is kind of sort of actually fascist. It's not like there's some immutable law of the universe that says the GOP can't really be like Nazis. They can, if they choose.

Remember, they lost Senate seats for saying out loud what their party platform says about rape.

Remember, they could have won if they hadn't alienated the Latino vote. W and Karl Rove figured that out years ago, but given the choice between whites-first racism and winning, rank and file Republicans chose racism.

They'd rather be a white-supremacist party permanently in the minority than hold the White House and Senate.

BTW Maggie is claiming her side was out-spent 8 to 1. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that?

So where does that leave us?

I think we better get used to victory. This is awesome. Fantastic. I'm so happy I could explode. Maybe I just did.
