It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

What If RuPaul Moderated A Republican Debate?

Omg, this is hilarious, but what if RuPaul were to moderate a Republican debate?  

There is one thing I do know, they would definitely be up shit creek without a paddle.

Oh thank you Buzzfeed, you didn't fuck it up!

A Convicted Prisoner Would Be Better Than Gay Parents

Oh, you gotta love our Republican candidates as they continue on their crusade to overturn everything our current President has done.
Ryan and I watched the debates on Saturday and Sunday, and I'd have to say they were the best ones yet.  I know what you're thinking - we're dorks, but who else would keep you informed of the current political news? LOL.  

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".

Governor Rick Perry says, "Ooops".

Please help me understand how our state has elected this man for three consecutive terms?  Oh, I know, the corrupt Republican machine, who is now in the process of redistricting, and finding ways to suppress voters.

If you're Latino or a student, good luck.  Republicans are in control of both houses in this state, so they can pretty much pass whatever they want.  Soon Democrats won't be allowed to vote. LOL, j/k.

During last night's presidential debate, Governor Ricky Perry forgot the third government agency he would eliminate as president.  "Commerce, Education, and the.... um...um... what's the third one there? let's see....Commerce, Education, and the um. um...um.."  Really?  And when the moderator asked him if he was serious, he continues mumbling and still can't remember, which in turn leads him to say, "oops".

So now you know why he never wants to debate when he's running for Governor.  He refused to debate Mayor Bill White of Houston during the last election.

The Rise and Fall of Herman Cain

A humorous look at how the rise of presidential candidate Herman Cain transpired, and the aftermath involving a sex scandal that just won't go away.  I feel for the guy, but he knew what he was getting himself into.  I take that back, once again women's rights are always overlooked.  Karma, Cain, Karma.

Time Allotted In Last 3 GOP Debates

It's sad, but true.  Like 'em or not, the last 3 presidential debates simply were not fair when it came to allotting time to each of the candidates.  But we see this way too often, it happens during the Democratic debates also.  It's whoever is the flavor of the month, or who's riding high on the polls.  Let's see how much time they give Herman Cain next time around.

I Would Rather Go to Hell...

Seriously.... After watching the Republican debate last night I couldn't help but almost laugh and yell at the same time.  All these people are idiots!  Everyone of them!!! And this includes the stupid-ass, teabagging audience who would rather have a 30-yr-old die, than for him to have health insurance.


I would rather go to hell than to vote for any of these Republicans.  They've condemned me and Ryan to it anyway.

Last night they chanted "Obama depression" like he was the one who got us into this mess.  Nothing will ever improve as long as we have a Republican congress, because their goal is to watch President Obama fail.  They don't approve legislation or agree with any of the policies put forth by this administration because they want to win the election in 2012, not because they care about you. TRUST ME, NONE OF THEM CARE ABOUT YOU!!!  None!  Zero! Zilch! They don't give a shit about you!!!


This entire piece actually got crazier, because he started going into how the churches would pay for his care, they wouldn't let him die. 

Because every american can go into a church and ask for help, right?

OMG Hilarious! - Republican Presidential Debate Factoids

OMG, this was hilarious as shit.  I already know none of you watched the Republican Presidential Debate this past wednesday, because all of you bitches hate politics.  But once again, that's okay, because just like yesterday's post, here is a small clip of what happened.

According to Conan O'Brien, MSNBC tried something new that no one has ever done before.  They flashed some fun facts about the candidates as each of them gave a response to a question.  Conan states they were actually more entertaining than the actual debate.  Check 'em out.

Must Watch: You Really Didn't Miss Anything

Not interested in politics?  That's okay, this video is only 45 seconds of your day, just a mere 45 seconds of your life.  Pretty much what was said during the debate on Wednesday was... Taxes, Reagan, Taxes, Reagan, Taxes, Reagan...


 I swear, all of these guys are idiots.  You know what?  I take that back.  Jon Huntsman actually broke away from them on a few issues, but all that means, Republicans will only shun him.

First Major Republican Presidential Debate is No Slugfest

So, on the news this morning, all you hear is who won and who lost in the first major presidential debate of the election season 2011-2012.  In my opinion, the only one who came with straight-forward answers was Ron Paul, even though he's a little nutty.  As for the rest of the group, you can count them out.  Lord help us, if Rick Perry decides to get into this late in the game.  When are people going to learn?!?!

For those who have no idea who's running for the Republican party, here are your candidates so far.
Left to right: Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Fred Karger

Oops! They forgot to invite Fred Karger.

Oh that's right. He's gay, he don't count.

The Supposed Winners:  

Michele Bachmann?  Really?  Are you fucking kidding me?  I know what it was, it was the fact she said, "I have 23 foster children," not once, but twice.  But supposedly she dominated the stage.  I'm sorry, but after 30 minutes of watching this debacle, I had to change the channel.

Mitt Romney?  Really?  Presidential? Really?  If you're wondering where I'm getting this Winner and Loser data from, it's from this article: New Hampshire Republican debate: Winners and losers.  I don't know about you, but somebody needs to have a talk with Chris Cillizza about this.  Mitt Romney came off as Presidential?  Really?  The only good going for him was that, "no one had the stomach to attack him directly." I do give credit to Cillizza for stating the obvious.

We won't even go to who Cillizza thinks the supposed losers are.  You can go to CNN for that.

Also, Keep in mind: Rick Perry from our own state of Texas, Rudy Giuliani from New York, and Jon Huntsman from Utah, have yet to decide.  Lord, help us.
