In either case, we watch them because it's like comedy hour. They literally make us laugh. Rick Perry was applauded for finally stating the three government programs he would cut, and then went off on why we should go back into Iraq. We should go in there "literally at the speed of light," he said. I think he meant to say "figuratively". Jesus Christ, somebody help him please.
These are the kind of people who applauded the death of a man for not having health insurance, booed a gay man who served several tours of duty in Iraq, and who would rather have a man in prison take care of your children instead of Ryan or myself.
According to the LA Times, citing the work of one anti-poverty expert, Santorum said, "He found that even fathers in jail who had abandoned their kids were still better than no father at all to have in their children's lives."
Allowing gays to marry and raise children, Santorum said, amounts to "robbing children of something they need, they deserve, they have a right to. You may rationalize that that isn't true, but in your own life and in your own heart, you know it's true."
David (my previous partner) and I raised two little girls together and to this day, they have been raised by a wonderful Mother who loves them, and Gay Parents (David and his current partner) who have helped nourish them in their teen years. I was their soccer coach when they were 4-1/2 through 11 years old, and I'd have to say they have grown into two upstanding young ladies. 17 and 16 now, they're honor students, play in concerts, sports, etc. and continue to excel in everything they set their heart and mind to do. I love them and always will. I will forever be their "Papa Pete".

I am a conservative but I am not pleased with the choices we have right now to take us to the White House.
Right on Papa Pete, I read your blog about my girls and I want to say you and my son were awesome parents and you have remained dear to my heart all these years and my girls love you very much.What foolish and foul words flow out of the mouths of people that should be spouting intelligent and uplifting words to the world right now as they try to con us into putting them at the stern of our country. I am embarrassed by them most of the time. What I wouldn't give for a Ronald Reagan right now. lol.
No comment about my Reagan ok?lol
LOL, damn and I had a few choice words for him too. But I'll let it go this time. hehehe
I will say this though... these candidates reference Reagan so much it's pathetic, but they are nowhere close to who this man was. People may think he was conservative, but he was more moderate than people are led to believe. And mom, Jessie, you are not a conservative. You are too free-spirited and open-minded to be. Just sayn'
I continue to have to defend my fellow Texans by telling people here that dumb Texans are only in the govt. Lol
LOL, true story. haha
You're an excellent father, my love. That's why you deserve to have a kid of your own. We deserve our own child, and hopefully one day it will be a reality.
