Ten Commandment's judge enters Alabama's gay marriage issue
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Former Chief Justice Roy Moore is not just asking for votes in his race for governor in the Republican primary June 6. Alabama's Ten Commandments judge is also calling on voters to cast ballots that day in support of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages.

At a news conference Tuesday, Moore joined 16 ministers from across the state to urge a strong turnout on the issue - which is expected to pass easily and could be a factor as he challenges GOP Gov. Bob Riley in the primary.

"Christians across the state have an obligation to turn out on something as important as this," Moore said.

The outcome of the statewide referendum on same-sex mairriages is hardly in doubt - voters in Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and Arkansas approved similar bans in 2004, and this Bible Belt state is overwhelmingly expect to do the same. But a political scientist said that even though Riley also supports the ban, a big turnout might help Moore a little in their primary battle.

I'm shocked ... SHOCKED, I say! ... to discover that Judge Roy "Worship this hear block of stone" Moore is opposed to gay marriage! :puke:

1. Why must we share oxygen with this man?
He is George Wallace-scary! "Homophobia now, homophobia forever."
