Reply #32: That was Marilyn Musgrave, from Colorado. [View All]

She was shameless. I was waiting for somebody to butt in and say "Girlfriend! MY, but we are SO obsessed with this polygamy bit!" She clung to that, and group-marriage, every friggin' time! Probably a dozen different mentions. I'm SURE this is a widely-distributed, officially-sanctioned talking point. Others in the knuckle-dragger squad are repeating this mantra over and over, too, apparently. She had the same sanctimonious look on her face that they all do. Oh yes, and the "activist judges" buzzphrase was hauled out multiple times, as well.

PLEASE! NOTE MY SIG LINE! HOW YOU CAN CALL HER, FOR FREE, AND GIVE HER A PIECE OF HER MIND!!!

I noted, also, that there were two calls of probably 6 or 7, that supported her and the religioso on with her. Everyone else, including a self-proclaimed "staunch republican" (who also said he was going to do his utmost to ensure that bush is defeated!), and a man with a gay son for whom he desperately wanted a happy life and official recognition of the son's longtime relationship) - was against this Neanderthal proposal. It was encouraging. If that was even a small indication of how the public sees this, then I'm feeling a little bit better about America.

on edit - I just took my own advice and called her office (TOLL FREE!) and let her know that, like the majority of the callers to "Larry King" last night, I think most Americans do NOT want discrimination put into our Constitution!

ALSO, I kept waiting for SOMEBODY to quote the Bible back to these people: the pastor fellow kept quoting Biblical passages, and I wanted so much for someone to jump in and remind the guy - "uh, YES, sir, but the Bible also said the world was created in 7 days..."
And then it would also have been nice to hear someone remind them all that the Bible also says "judge not lest ye be judged."
