Proves there's someone for everyone. As much as I like Frank's politics, he is the meanest, nastiest prick (and not just professionally) to serve on the Hill in a couple of decades. I can't imagine anyone who could actually love him, lol."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed. I say this in order to impress upon you, if you are not already so impressed, that no small matter should divert us from our great purpose. "

**** you, Romney, you opportunistic douchebag. Your record on LBGT rights is crap.
Thankfully, Romney is getting all sorts of grief for his tweet, as is Sarah Palin who also tweeted something similar."Looks like I picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

And yes if you're not for full equality for the LGBT community, you are oppressing that segment off society.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Hope that helped..."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

It's an exercise in absurdity, of course, but mix it with a completely inaccurate definition of hypocrisy, and it's apparently very satisfying to people who prefer screaming "Hypocrite!" to making a sensible case against an opponent's politics."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

Once you accept that assumption, you open the door to all sorts of nutty assertions: A person who disapproves of internal gambling on baseball cannot admire Pete Rose's hitting skill. A person who disapproves of homosexuality cannot admire Freddie Mercury's musical talent. A person who disapproves of sleazy behavior towards women cannot admire Bill Clinton's political acumen. And on and on.

In a vacuum I'd agree, but when you use the "Admiration" to curry favor in an election it's a totally different thing than holding the same sentiment in private. He made the comment to laud the person, and possibly engender those who respect her. To do it the way he did, while not supporting who the person actually was in her entirety, is Hypocritical.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Hmm, I remember the Congressional Black Caucus had some sort of resolution honoring the passing of Michael Jackson.
Were they "supporting who the person was in his entirety"?
