AUGUSTA, Maine — After receiving the endorsement of the nation’s largest LGBT advocacy group, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday indicated for the first time her personal support for same-sex marriage.

“A number of states, including my home state of Maine, have now legalized same-sex marriage, and I agree with …

Collins has a moonbat Dem opponent. The major difference between the two is that the Dem is pro-privacy/anti Patriot Act and NSA snooping. Almost tempted to vote for her.

“The State ‘o Maine ain’t what it used to be.”

Well actually, the electorate in Maine has stayed very middle of the road for about the last 50 plus years. 1974 elected the first independent governor in the country. James Longley was fiscally conservative while being socially moderate (for the time period). We have since elected many middle of the road folks from Bill Cohen to Susan Collins. There have been both conservatives and liberals elected in succeeding years. Liberal Tom Andrews succeeded by conservative Jim Longley, Jr. (former Gov. son) followed by somewhat liberal Tom Allen.

I get tired of folks thinking that David Brat could get elected in Maine. He would get about 5% in a general election. Chris McDaniels would get about 1%.

Maine has also had the highest percentage of unenrolled voters of any state and it is more than either party.

The Maine Problem is that when the state mandated jut 8 years of public school education, the people were a lot smarter and a great deal handier than they are now with 12 years of hosshiite behind them, instead of the hoss.

Also 50 years ago South Portland queers (Uh sorry, the LGBT vote), illegal alien Latinos, and Somali "refugees" were not voting blocs.

The term in the sodomite community for more than two sodomites shacking up together is POLY. I have known as many as 10 lesbians that live together and every night is a big dyke orgy. Like I have said before with sodomites it’s all about sex and nothing else. Or as Tina Turner said “what’s love got to do with it”. So after Roberts and Kennedy sides with the left-wingers on the Supreme Court to legalize sodomite “marriage” in all states, the next lawsuit they will hear will be for “poly marriage”, and they will have to approve it. Polygamy will once again be legal, but this time not just in Utah, but all over the country. Then I would suspect the next legalization will be a man wanting to marry his daughter or a mother marrying her son. It’s coming. Stay tuned. If marriage does not mean the union of one man and one woman, it means nothing and any perversion will do. Welcome to the United States of Sodom and Gomorrah and once again thank the Republicans for allowing it to happen.

You know, two or more of anything of any gender, whether virtual or real, getting “married”. Could include not just men and women, not just LGBTQB&D, but children, goats, tractors, and other fetishes.

I have been saying this for years. You point to any item in the Sears catalog and somewhere in the world you will find someone that wants to either have sex with it or worship it as a god.

Westie, this guy is dangerous. I am putting security cams in my woodlot NOW! Suggest you do same.

Verga (and don't you think you're getting away with that handle, neither), what we love ain't none of your business and how much for the negatives or tapes?

To the state in the modern era, that’s all marriage ever was or will be, just whatever judges, pols, or the voting majority thinks it can be at any one time. Pope Leo XIII warned about it 130 years ago.

Hey I will make the same deal I have with all of my non-internet friends: You don't tell on me, I don't tell on you, fair enough?

And how many people still to this day say he was engaged in the "slippery slope" fallacy.

I must, must I say, refuse to negotiate with anyone who believes Leo XIII was into skiing.

Exactly.

Scott Brown is pro-abort, pro-gay and anti-gun.

May as well be a DemonRAT. He was all over Howie Carr last week touting what a conservative he is compared to hyper-RAT Jean Shaheen the abortion machine.

I’ll be writing-in Testerman. A solid pro-gun, anti-gay-agenda, anti-abort Christian. Shaheen may win, but at least I’ll be voting my conscience.
