Remember back in the day to the 2004 election hen everything was gay marriage gay marriage gay marriage? Now it’s about kicking out the Mexicans, and why not? I mean, with whom would you rather share a neighborhood? Those preppy, well-educated homos with all

I suppose border control is the new gay marriage for this election. Either way, everyone seems hellbent about keeping people from entering your backside.

Anyway, for this election, we seem to be looking at ban proposals in Iowa and Florida. What’s interesting about these proposals is that both states already have laws about limiting or defining marriage as a heterosexual enterprise. Both groups (The Iowa Family Policy Council and Florida4marriage.org) are seeking the bans to be written into their respective state constitutions, so that those crazy-assed maverick, legislate-from-the-bench types would be less successful in overturning the laws already in place. Iowa’s proposal probably won’t be on a ballot before 2010, while Floridians will have their say on getting a ban into their constitution. this November, if they can get it on the ballot in time.

Elsewhere, Mike Huckabee (Fuckabee!) might take some shit for his take on the matter:

I think the radical view is to say that we’re going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again.
