hayworth by D-Cap_e273c.jpg

McCain's GOP primary challenger JD Hayworth says he supports a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage -- because to do otherwise could lead to a man marrying a horse. Photoshop by D-Cap, who also has the honeymoon photo, ick.

h/t Spork in the Drawer for the background story.

As Mr. Ed used to say - "Oh, Wilburrrrrrrrrrrr".

explaining his comments and he went on to say when you grow up on a farm it's only natural to have sexual experiences with animals. I'm paraphrasing, but it's pretty close to a direct quote.

Having said that, I would have thought he liked Francis, but I guess she/he talks too much.

conservative born again idiot who used to beat his wife....he was being interviewed a year or so ago on the radio by Alan Colmes when he said that. But I'll bet Hayworth did the same thing.

Here's an item on it:

http://www.newshounds.us/2005/05/06/bizarre_s...

If you haven't heard, Horsley was recently arrested for posting a video on youtube containing a threat to kill Elton John.

http://www.rttnews.com/ArticleView.aspx?Id=12...

Neal Horsley is to bestiality what Roy Ashburn is to homosexuality. And unlike those freaks and closet cases, I'm not inferring a link between the two behaviours.

applied for a marriage license for themselves and their pet of the same gender, and then mailed a copy to ol' J.D. Those who are already married would triply get under his skin maybe because it would be a gay, human/animal, bigamist marriage.

I'd bring one of my female kitties to the courthouse just for that... but then I'm orney like that. ;)

sexually abused by his teacher, and the teacher offered the parents hush money to not report the crime. What do the parents do? They accept the money and make a down payment on a house.

Sick, sick, sick.

lesser offence of causing the boy to engage in sexual activity."

I don't know anything of British law, so if someone can, please describe how "causing the boy to engage in sexual activity" differs from "engaging in sexual activity" (and with a FUCKIN' MINOR!!??) Not to mention, abuse of his power of authority.

Sad it takes events like this to remind us all that there are sick fucks everywhere, I guess. Of course, with a steady diet of crappy hot dogs, apple pie mom stole from Walmart 'cause they weren't covered under foodstamps, beer and glenn beck--NO ONE will can compete with the good ol' US of A. But fuck, at least most of ours (hopefully) get arrested and taken away from the kiddies...

Why not simply add an amendment that bans inter-species marriage?

because he's a complete jackass.

The amendment probably would be a ban on inter-species marriage, with a list of other species (conservative style).

Gays
Lesbians
Liberals
DOGS
Horses
Chickens
Etc.

Sitting together on a train was Obama , George Bush Jr ., a little old lady, and a young blonde girl with large boobs.

The train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later there is the sound of a loud slap.

When the train emerges from the tunnel, Bush has a bright red hand print on his cheek.

No one speaks.

The old lady thinks: Bush must have groped the blonde in the dark, and she slapped him.

The blonde girl thinks: Bush must have tried to grope me in the dark, but missed and fondled the old lady and she slapped him..

Bush thinks: Obama must have groped the blonde in the dark. She tried to slap him but missed and got me instead.

Obama thinks: I can't wait for another tunnel, so I can smack Bush again.


Some stuff you can't make up!

Obama got to him I guess.

Presser tomorrow at 10 EST.

I contributed to his campaign for re-election yesterday.

I want my money back.

Kucinich reneging on his word, for me, is the very last straw.

I will never trust another Democrat as long as I live.

If what I read elsewhere is correct, the deadline to file a primary challenge against Kucinich is gone.

You know what Kucinich did by refusing to support the legislation for so long? He caused it to be watered down when supporters were forced to make concessions to the Blue Dogs. Way. To. Go. [/slow clap]

By allowing marriage between a man and a woman, it's only a matter of time before we allow marriage between a man and a three-year-old woman.

Ban marriage now.

The #1 cause of divorce in this country is marriage. In order to preserve
the sanctity of marriage, it must be banned.

if Heyworthless horses around and consumates his relationship with his filly, it would be considered "humanality," and he could be saddled with a lawsuit (in a kangaroo court no doubt).

the only horse that could talk was Mr. Ed. Now if that horse he's carrying across that threshhold speaks and can say "I do" it has to be Mr. Ed and he was of course a male so, what does that say about Hayworth?

If JD and a Gelding ( or even a stallion) get married, isn't that still same sex marriage? There doesn't seem to be any indication that JD means the marriage of a man and a filly or mare...he just refers to a horse...

Other questions:
Is he trying to give man on dog Rick Santorum a run for his money?
What is with these people with their beast iality fetishes?
Or Is JD trying to end up on Fox News too?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Am I the only one who is sick of hearing about all the hard luck tales of stupidity and or deceit on the part of at least some of these Toyota drivers? Today I heard that the guy here in San Diego whose Prius hit 94 MPH and had to be assisted by CHP never put the car in neutral despite repeated questioning and later urging by 911 operator. His reason? It might rollover ???

Clearly, this guy is either a fraud, or a moron. Though nowadays, I think most 'Mericans are too stupid even to handle an automatic transmission. Sure, many could answer that "N" means "neutral", but how many, really, can explain what the neutral position of a transmission does! Think about it; most Americans can only name three of our presidents. Many kids don't have dads, shop classes, a beater car in someone's garage where kids wrench and learn.

I think we're dismissing this Toyota problem too easily. Sure, Toyota's probably got some problems here. But we should look closely at whether some of our skills behind the wheel are not up to the level needed to make emergency diagnoses and decisions behind the wheel.

that the congresspeople that don't vote for the Health care reform bill will lose their seats. To let this be passed over in our economic crisis is foolhardy. Don't believe the republicans because they have never supported anything that will benefit the working class or the poor. Only 300 teabaggers showed for their rally in DC.

That reminds me of a joke told by Buddy Hackett on one of the last episodes of Johnny Carson. It also goes well with this thread.

A traveling salesman roaming the countryside comes across a lone farm house. He knocks on the door and the farmer answers.

The salesman asks "Would you like to buy any of my wares I have for sale?".

The farmer replied "No I don't need any of the items you are selling, but I have been having a problem with some of my animals lately. My horse won't pull the plow like he used to. My Cows aren't making as much milk as they were before. Even the sheep aren't producing as much wool."

The salesman said "Well I have a way with talking to animals. Let me go out there and see what I can find out."

The salesman returns a few minutes later and says to the anxious farmer "Well I talked to the horse and he says his bridal is too tight and when you pull on it you need to let up a little. I talked to the cows and the cows were telling me that when you milk them, you're squeezing their utters too hard and its painful. So don't pull as much when you're milking them. Now the sheep were telling me.."

The farmer interrupts and screams to the salesman "Don't you listen to those sheep they're a bunch of LIARS!

Of course, being gay could never be used by the enemy against American soldiers as long as the ban on gays in the military or DADT is in place the way the CIA tried to exploit it in this case. Just another way conservative policies have weakened our national security.
