When you show that much hate towards gays I believe deep inside that person would suck a dick in a second or already has and hate's the fact he enjoyed it or fantasizes about it.

I know it's early but no you may not recall that because the post you link to expressly states that Ron Paul did not vote against the plaque.

Also, I vote that the Real Steve King likes to dress up like Karl Marx and be sexed over by underage dancing Muslim boys dressed like slaves.

After all, he's bound to be getting bored with television in general and his shtick in particular, plus political leaders are much more likely to get into the history books and they're often pretty adept at talking out of both sides of their mouth.

He was on The View in October 2008 and he said, I quote, "Well, sometimes socialism is good."
Of course, I can't find the damn video-segment on YouTube now where I first heard it, but this article quotes his phrase:

One measly example, I know, but just sayin', he's not all evil.

Landed, middle-class individuals have the demographics to keep that mortgage exemption in perpetuity. There simply isn't a politically viable way to remove that in the midst of a foreclosure crisis. Especially because the hit to home valuations (the tax benefit is a component of price) is unwelcome after 20-40% home price declines in 2 years and would probably put most homes underwater. If we're cutting fat, I'd suggest starting elsewhere, not least because I - like more than half of Americans - am a homeowner!
(That's why the Baucus plan is structured as it is: the "tax" is structured to look like a premium. And it removes another large entitlement, the fact that most employed recipients of health care pay for it out of pre-tax income.)

But unless we do start to address some of these sacred cows, people will always be able to say we can't pay for health care reform. And it will always be untrue.
