DeLaying the inevitable

His voice rising in anger, DeLay charged that even though 44 states have moved to define traditional marriage, the courts will wind up amending the Constitution by default, as he said they did on abortion.

"We've seen it before and we didn't stand up before, and there's been 1.7 million children killed, unborn children killed, because we didn't stand up to activist judges responding to a strategy of using the courts to legislate," DeLay said.

..."This nation knows that if you destroy marriage as the definition of one man and one woman, creating children so that we can transfer our values to those children and they can be raised in an ideal home, this country will go down.

"So believe me, everybody in this country's going to know how you voted today," DeLay said, his anger mounting with every word. "They're going to know how you stood on the fundamental protection of marriage and the definition of marriage. And we will take it from here and we will come back, and we will come back, and we will come back. We will never give up. We will protect marriage in this country."

...Insisting that "Peter and Paul cannot be mothers, and Mary and Jane cannot be fathers," DeLay argued in an emotional closing statement that such marriages would destroy the nation.

"This country will go down," DeLay warned, going so far as to say that without "ideal" unions of man and woman, "Gangs form, and gangs become the substitute for families. Everyone knows that."

No, seriously. Aside from being a crooked sleezeball politician, the man is tetched. And there's something very strange about his choice of names. They seem singularly Biblical, except for Jane. But she comes in as Mary's partner to invoke thoughts of pot-induced ramblings.

Everyone knows that.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
