The loony hillbillies of the Maine GOP have had a hard time convincing residents to back them in their opposition to a statewide referendum measure that would permit Election Day voter registration, so their latest strategy has them running ads ominously informing the citizenry IN SCREAMING ALL CAPS that anyone who supports the measure, known as “Question 1,” is in fact a flaming member of Team Homo, because voting rights are super gay. Real heterosexuals hate democracy.
More on this homophobic weirdness from the Sun Journal:
The chairman of the Maine Republican Party is defending a print advertisement that singles out a gay rights’ group’s involvement in the effort to retain Election Day registration.
GOP Chairman Charlie Webster said the ad, which was circulated by more than 25 community newspapers, was designed to “educate” the public about EqualityMaine, one of the advocacy groups involved in the coalition that wants to retain the state’s 38-year-old EDR law. However, members of the coalition say the ad is designed to mobilize opponents of same-sex marriage and marks yet another example of Webster and EDR opponents’ attempts to distract voters from the real issue of Question 1.
Oh those crafty homosexuals, “first they came to redecorate,” etc. [Sun Journal via TPM]

This from the fuckers who have been actively recruiting voters in the churches for the past 35 years. How much money did they spend on that?
And unlike sexual orientation, being a churchgoer actually is a lifestyle choice.
Methinks going to church can be an indication of sexual orientation–if you're a Catholic priest, at least
Yes. You don't have to *do* anything to be gay, but in order to be a churchgoer, you have to — surprise! — go to fucking church.
These people are so fucking hateful, that I can't WAIT till they've extinguished their contribution to the gene pool and died the ignominous death they deserve.
And how much *didn't* they have to pay in taxes on that money?
…and why do those churches retain their tax free status?
It cost them $52 per year… $1 every Sunday… cheap Bastards.
I'm straight, but I know that Team Homo throws the best election afterparties.
Are you from Annapolis?
Well … yeah.
Team Homo wouldn't have Rick Scott as a DJ.
With the most tasteful decorations, as well…
The best wedding reception I ever went to…
But how many times in a row can you dance to YMCA?
And let's not forget to vote out those lesbian rino Maine senators: Susan Collins and Oympia Dukakis.
Ha ha, you mean "Olympia Snowe," who sounds like some sort of ice goddess but is actually from Brooklyn or some damn place.* And Collins has Diane Rehm's Disease which it isn't appropriate to make fun of except for the fact that as a US Senatorette your job is to talk, and having that kind of herky-jerky hitch in your oratorial gitalong is like being a one-legged placekicker, if you know what I mean.
________________
* Well I just checked and she's actually from Maine so never mind.
No, I want Olympia Dukakis and her elderly nympho persona to get voted off the show "Bored to Death".
Couldn’t get “into” that show. Too “droll” or “something.”
Leave Olympia Dukakis alone!!!! Finally a character I can relate to!
I think "Dukakis" was what Herman Cain told Sharon Bialek.
Sometimes I really, really want to bitchslap Susan Collins, though.
Really more for her DINO/RINO vacillation than her odd talk. Yes being a swing vote allows her to harvest much personal glory, air time, and pork for the Pine Tree State, but it’s pretty ugly when you just see it like that.
Yah. She keeps dipping her toes in the shallows and then playing shitty little games with both sides and with the people of her state. If only Mainiacs weren't quite so Maniacal, they'd break down and find themselves a decent Democrat. But then again, this is the state that elected that revolting pig Paul LePage.
This is blatantly unfair in singling out gays. Nazis and Commies also prefer same-day registration.
LOL. Free elections are so gay.
I cant believe they leave out the Muslins !
ACORN, the ACLU, and Roe v Wade, too! Also.
Black Panthers too!
Say, you know who else posted screaming all-caps posters just before an election… ?
AOL?
The Warshington D.C. hockey team?
Washington Nationals mascot Screech, also.
clevah!
You sure do tark funny, pdog.
"T" ?
KANYE WEST?
New York Post?
Gaius Baltar?
The traitorous little creep.
Not unlike Eric Cantor.
Even looks like him sort-of-kinda, except Gaius Baltar is, of course, handsomer. Eric looks like he was shoving a barbed-wire-sheathed dildo up his rectum all night long till it got stuck and now he can't quite sit down comfortably.
Oh DAD, poor Dad
Um … I'm gonna go with Hitler, OK?
Hitler, OK? Is that near, like Tulsa or something?
Yeah, but wind blows more often and hotter.
You little hellion, just looking to start trouble.
So, you work long hours or something? Because I notice you don't start commenting till pretty late.

John Holmes? Oh, wait…. that says "election". I thought it said… ah, never mind.
Maine be quite a lot like the Ozarks for the hilljacks. Know what they do for Halloween?
Pump kin.
But they want nothing to do with those black cats.
The ad does not mention Election Day registration. It also doesn't disclose who paid for it. Webster said none of the Maine GOP's campaign material contained a disclosure line, which according to the state's Ethics Commission, is not required by law.
He added that he had a relative who was gay. "How they live their life is none of my business and I have no problem with them being part of the democratic process. It’s just that people have a right to know whose funding this effort, who is involved in this campaign."
I give up. These clowns aren't even trying to make sense any more…
They're nuckin' futz. Every time I try to read this shit, my brain shorts out.
He shoulda just stuck with "it says in the Bible….".
Those nefarious gays might actually want the right to be treated the same as everyone else under the law, how horrid!
Imagine that, they want HUMAN rights! How dare they think they're HUMAN?
Rick Perry is now frothing all over Pox Ooze about how we need to reinstate DADT. I swear I will stamp his nuts flatter than paper if he tries that shit.
HB:
No, according to the right wing nutz, this is a claim on "special rights."
If any one of those little pishers says doodly to me about it, I swear, I'm gonna grab their tongue, pull it right out of their mouth, and spit on it. What the FUCK is wrong with these people? It's none of their goddamn business who I'm fucking. I'm guessing they're not getting enough, or they wouldn't be so anxious to be sticking their noses up all our underroos.
Democracy: the gay agenda. Now we finally know what these MONSTERS are up to!
Well, there's that, and champagne brunches, mani/pedis, converting straight people, working out, a two-martini-and-salad lunch, lounging on the beach checking out all the boys pushing a nice basket … a faggot's work is NEVER done!
OH FAIL.
MS FAIL.
PEARCE FAIL.
this almost makes up for the loss of silvio.
Team Homo…am I supposed to be afraid of that or not? I like to be up to date on all of my fears.
Depends, hehe. If you like fucking people who have the same configuration you do, no need to be afraid. OTOH, if you normally worry that strange people will anally rape you with barbed-wire-wrapped dildos smothered in HELLFIRE chilli sauce, I'd say don't stop running till you reach Missouri.
Hm, a friend of mine is wondering what the safe word is. You know, if he were willing to give that second possibility a try.
Thanks!

Why is the Maine GOP opposed to easier registration? Haven't they heard there are no Blacks in Maine?
But, didn't you hear? They gots them sneaky Canadans sneaking across the border producing ridicluous amounts of voter freud.
Oh, this whole thing is freude-licious, trust me.
Team Homo asks that you not diminish their status as the group most feared just because there are no blacks, brownz, muslins, or real live Freddie Krugers in the state. I mean, seriously, how often do the geyhs get to be "Most Feared".
Kirsten, they'd already called this race when you posted this, I think. Did I miss something?
I was beginning to get nervous about the Mainers, happy to see that Common Sense prevailed and the Fascists got a good drubbing.
The anti-union bill lost in Ohio, and the fetal blob bill in MISSISSIPI! Things are looking GOOD.
The main supporter of the Arizona No-Browns Allowed Law is getting recalled, too. Tea Baggers are blaming it on increasing numbers of illegals crossing the border to vote in the recall election.
When Election Day Voting is outlawed, only outlaws will be……gay…..?
I'm just as confused as GOP Chairman Charlie!
So, has anyone made a formal complaint of "shenanigans", yet, on this beautiful November night?
I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, "Shenanigans."
Shenanigans
<runs away>
LOL! I love the word exactly because of how annoying it is.
It's the name of every tacky sports bar in every downtown business district in the Continental United States.
See, I thought that once an idea like that had been parodied on the Simpsons or in Office Space, it should be off-limits as an actual idea for a real business name. Guess I was wrong.
In fact, John Kasich extended an extremely gracious concession to his opponents, and didn't even accuse anyone of election fraud. I couldn't believe it.
Doesn't he have people to cry "election fraud" for him?
Oh, I get it now. Team Homo. So that's what they mean by playing for the other team. Do they sell numbered jerseys and such?
Todays GOP: Testing how far you can stretch a fear before it breaks.
Looks like they over-stretched.
How long before they start drumming up fear of stretch Marx?
Complementary sodomy for each newly registered voter! Wriggling around for democracy!

In a sweat-sanity soaked squirmish with Santorum, also.
Don't know about Maine, but victory in Ohio.
Multiple upfists for Ohio!!!!
Apparently, also in Maine: http://bangordailynews.com/2011/11/08/politics/ea…
There is a squeaker of a recall going on here in Michigan. In some non-descript district in suburban Flint, reports are out that "family value" conservative Paul "Babby-Daddy" Scott is going to get recalled 50.5% to 49.5%. Please let this be true, lord. This "young gun" is repugnant.
damn. day-em.
tonight's feeling a little like payback for baggers.
Michigan Radio is confirming that the unofficial tally shows Paul losing by 232 votes:
Oh, happy day! I know this only makes a little dent in their numbers, but it better be a wake-up call. What's notable about this is that this is a pretty solidly red, Republican district. It's also a suburban district, meaning that they are generally not crazy about the GOP on social issues. Let this be a warning to all suburban Republicans in Michigan that there seats are just as vulnerable, next year. There ill-gotten gains are showing themselves for what they are.
Young gun? Must be 55, at least.
He was an actual young gun. 29 years of age. First elected to the state house two years ago. He was one of those "our blacks are better than their blacks" characters, and apparently a close ally of the governor's.
and now he's unemployed.
rock on republicans.
With them having to backtrack on their "License to Bully" bill the other day, and now this, they better back-the-fuck up is all I have to say. All this gay bashing and poor bashing and union bashing better fucking stop, or they better get sneakier about it.
Black? Republican? Needs a job?
Ron Christie and Michael Steele will go to the mattresses to defend their cable news paychecks, young buck. Step off. Maybe take a job in a warehouse, or something.
More good news!
Beers on the house!
They keep trying to pull that "personhood" crap here in Colorado. Grrrr. We've had to vote it down twice so far.
And thanks for the beer. I'll have a double bock.
Dear god–this means that gay union abortionists will be able to register to vote on election day.
I take your gay union abortionist and raise you a black muslin lesbian union abortionist.
Except that I couldn't appear to be black, at a recent protest against an all purpose hate group- I was going to tell the local haters that I was a Muslim Latina lesbian abortion provider.
Who?
I suspect the angry homophobes behind this are suppressing more than just the vote.
Do you mean a smile?
Wow, what a crap move. First of all, you have to give garbage like that a week to get around — you don't just blast it to newspapers the day of the election. Second, you get one of your journalist friends to write a piece about how this is all part of some gay agenda and then get a couple other columnists to repeat it as though they heard it from an authoritative source. Thank goodness the Maine GOP are a bunch of rank amateurs.
Randomly and apropos of nothing, I received local campaign postcards/mailers in the mail today. Today! Hello, I don't get home to get the mail until 7 pm at best. And furthermore, our state is ALL vote-by-mail anyway, so I voted a week ago.
Impropaganda?
They are both amateurs and rank. Very rank.
so tomorrow we're going to be getting all sorts of media coverage of a sharp turn to the center by america's electorate right?
yeah no, i didn't think so either.
Lotsa coverage of voter fraud, maybe.
While the results tonite seem to be good, we must continue to despise and ignore the MSM.
Maybe, it's a little sad, but that Mississippi voted down the personhood amendment with such vigor gives me a bit of hope for this country. I mean, considering that they are probably still drowning women for being witches, down there, this is huge. lol
That said, nothing was sweeter than that blunt-talking, smug bastard Kasich getting absolutely steamrolled for his overreach. Welcome to Ohio, fucker. Today, we are all Ohioans.
yes. and what i really want is for fucking mark mardell on bbc to have to admit that not everything is a complete disaster for progressives. at least not today.
that would be sweet.
The Mississippi results are enough to make me believe in a widespread librul election fraud conspiracy.
I mean, I could have believed a 51-49 spread either way, but these 60-40 numbers I'm hearing? C'mon, guys! You're supposed to make this shit believable!
it'd be funnier if it was a 63-27 split.
69-31 would be my pick.
huh-huh, I said "69."
Hey isn't Ohio State-Michigan still a few weeks off?
Fuck Michigan. I live in Spartan country. UofM might as well be in North Korea for all I care.
Tx, buddy. I often repeat my joke: Uglier than a Michigan Coed. MSU = OSU.
"Today, we are all Ohioans." Yes!! Welcome Wonkateers! Woo-hoo! I've got a bar in my basement, c'mon over and we'll celebrate.
I think that's Ohio's motto. You know "A bar in every state house basement" or something.
"Today, we are all Ohioans"…
did you mean "Today we are all Georgians"
But how could this be an issue in Maine, home to the the Lumberjack, who is the ultimate in manly straight men? I mean, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day. I cut down trees, I skip and jump,I like to press wild flowers. I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars.
But do you wear high heels, suspenders and a bra? Do you wish you'd been a girlie, just like your dear pappa? It's an important point.
Well, there's the plaid-wearing, Subaru driving lumberjacks to be concerned about.
But REAL gay men stay in the closet, donchaknow?
FACT! That poster was written by Dwight Schrute.
Isn't Question 1 the Question That Cares?
Joe Walsh is at it again….
Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) melts down, yells hysterically "Don't blame banks!"
Good lord, what a douchebag. I'd happily vote for the woman who was schooling him.
You can't argue with a sick mind.
I love Walsh's argument that he's sick and tired of hearing that his ideas are idiotic and wrong — right before he says that industry only responds to government and it's never the other way around; that the government's maniacal fixation on everybody having a house is what caused the recession; and that Dodd-Frank has completely ground the free market to a halt. Good luck to his wife on getting her $110,000 of back child support from that motherfucker.
Idiotic and wrong ideas are idiotic and wrong.
Well, I think there is a grain of truth in that "home ownership is the path to prosperity" flogging, but most folks seem to forget that it was George W Bush who was the key cheerleader for this from about 2002 – 2007 or so.
Its the "Rocky Mountain High".
Leave the banks alone! LEAVE THEM ALOOONNNE!!!!!

By a relatively wide margin, Mainers on Tuesday overturned a recently passed law that would have ended a 38-year-old practice of allowing voters to register on Election Day…
With more than three-quarters of the state’s precincts reporting early Wednesday morning, the yes side was leading 60 percent to 40 percent and had declared victory. The yes side was prevailing in every county, with especially lopsided results in Portland and Bangor. http://bangordailynews.com/2011/11/08/politics/ea…
As goes Maine, so goes the nation…I hope…

In all the talk of calling zygotes humans and teachers fascistic parasites, I didn't realize that there was an election in AZ to recall Russell Pearce, president of the state Senate and architect of the infamous immigration law. And whadda ya know, Pearce is now the first legislator in AZ history to be recalled. Of course, the guy who beat him is also a Republican, but presumably he's at least less insane.
A headline on the L.A. Times website right now: "Elections may signal a pause in conservative trend". I'd prefer the more accurate "Election results a vaguely hopeful sign that sanity is finally reasserting itself," but what the hell. You take the little satisfactions where you can get 'em.
"Elections may signal that the wingnuts have finally pissed off everybody."
Come on, it's Arizona. My guess is the people thought they were voting for the actual Jerry Lewis, not this new fake republican Jerry Lewis…
I know that the last time I registered to vote, the first thing I did was go out and have a torrid affair with one of teh ghayez.
You know who else supported same day registration.
The DMV?
licensed software?
the sex offender database?
The postcards that came with all my large appliances?
Bill Clinton?
The University of Phoenix?
same gay registration
Humane Society?
Macy's Bridal Department?
Maine is a State that is known for having many giant sea spiders.
The rain in Maine falls mainly on Herb Cain.

yeah, but how does this effect Herman Cain? or his victims?
What victims? Also Bill Clinton.
ya know? now that i think about it, we're all Cain's victims. but some have had to deal with the gross prospects in person while the rest of us are armchair victims.
FACT!: Anytime, "FACT!" in all caps prefaces a statement, it makes it a FACT!
FACT: TRUE STORY!
By the way, I saw something on the news this morning about Herman Cain sexually harassing Penn State or something like that.
Damn, I'm mad Mississippi turned down the personhood-begins-at-conception. It ruined my plan to: get pregnant, go to Mississippi, get arrested and thrown in jail, have my fetus sue for unlawful imprisonment = profit!
Don't worry, in The NewCorporateAmerica, personhood begins when you receive your first MasterCard or Visa.
… and ends if you cancel it.
Team Homo??? OMG – Am I on it and didn't even know it?
OK – let's calm down and simply figure out what we are to wear on my new team. I'm so excited.
Oh sweetie, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford the uniform…
Whoa, the Maine/Ohio/Mississippi trifecta came in whilst I slept! Far fucking out. Maybe if I go to sleep a la Rip Van Winkle, I'll wake up 20 years hence and this country will have pulled itself out of the shit.
Nah.
I'll take these brief moments of sanity where I can.
Maine. Or as the natives refer to it "the Mississippi of the North."
New Hampshire libel!
What's Maines' deal, anyway, though? Just about every other state up that way has some kind of discernable identity, and all I equate Maine with is lobster and moose.
Awesome seacoast, good skiing, Portland is pretty cool, Gritty McDuffs, the Atlantic Ocean, Cadillac Mountain, Camden Harbor. Our taxes kind of suck, but hey…whaddya gonna do?
L.L. Bean, also too.
All I equate Maine with is Stephen King, and the associated killer clowns, cars, dogs, zombie toddlers, psychic high school girls, gypsy curses, etc.
You don't Remember the Maine?
I had enough of the media promoting blatant lies to get the public to support a war of imperial expansion in my own lifetime, thanks.
No we don't.
This is what comes of letting women vote. As soon as your back is turned it's that time of month and they are at the polls supporting all sorts of godless and liberal initiatives. Even Maine, Ohio and Mississippi are not safe.
In other libtard-friendly election result news, AZ State Sen and Senate President Russell Pearce, the author of the notorious SB1070, was recalled.
Wow – that thing with the Fiesta Bowl tickets really pissed off a lot of people!

I'll celebrate in just a minute – first I want to check to make sure they weren't recalling him because he wasn't punitive enough. This is Arizona, after all.
You're wise to be cautious. The People of AZ passed a really weird mixed bag of sane and insane referendum items. You'd almost think there was a split electorate at work.
Is there, or can there even be, any crossover from Team Homo to Team Hobo?

I've hiked and hiked till my feet are sore
And I'll be damned if I hike any more
To be buggered sore like a hobo's whore
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains."
This issue pales in comparison to Washington State initiative 1183, which will allow me to buy my booze in 5-gallon jugs at Costco as opposed to the state-controlled liquor stores, which has lousy hours and no parking.
Actually, come to think of it, Costco has lousy hours and terrible parking.
Well, fuck.
Costco has great parking… about a half mile away… to be fair, it is in their lot still.
I guess the three-mile hike to, around, and back from Costco will justify the 10 gallons of Kaluha that I intend to purchase.
Burns them calories.
Ohio, Maine,Arizona and Mississippi! All this great news makes can't be good.
Well, it's certainly good news all around this morning. I wonder what the over/under is on how many hours until Ken Layne posts some utterly depressing piece of information as to how we're all going to be living in dishwasher boxes soon or the EPA is being absorbed by the Chamber of Commerce or Obama is making John Bolton SecDef or something.

I just got an email from that Crafty homosexual Jewish Cabal leader Ben Bernanke, saying that 14 million had been posted to my account, and they need my account number and password to confirm.
Think it's legit, too?
From the comments to the article:
"The only thing this campaign has educated us on is how low and sleazy its proponents are. They are trying to win by stirring up hatred and bigotry. First it was immigrants, then it was college students, then it was Canadians and now homophobia."
Apparently the Maine GOP hates immigrants, educated people and Canadians more than it hates gays. That's progress!
(When I was a military cadet as a youngster I met other teenagers from across Canada. The New Brunswick cadets were always talking about how American Election Day was their favorite time of year. They would get all liquored up, then swim the St. Croix river and go vote for Democratic things. (The Democratic party would print up special waterproof voter guide sheets for them.) They didn't have Social Security numbers, Maine driver's licences, any form of proof of Maine address, and in fact every form of identification they had made it clear that they were from New Brunswick. But thanks to same-day voter registration, this was no obstacle. (Fortunately, some of the ID was in French, which made it easy to defraud honest but naive Maine election officials. The cadets were coached to say "Yes, it looks as if this is a New Brunswick drivers licence, but the French part takes it back. "Nouveau Brunswick" is French for "Correction: It's Maine, actually.") After the cadets, still dripping wet, had voted, a Democratic party official (a big guy wearing a Black Panther beret and carrying a truncheon) would give them a coin containing $100 worth of Nazi gold. (They knew because it was stamped on the coin: $100 In NAZI GOLD.) Then they would all have gay sex and go to college.)
I see you're still getting the good shit from B.C., but baking it into morning muffins is really gonna retard your productivity.
They don't have to worry about working at jobs or paying bills in Canada. Everything's free.

Yep. Doin' a job no American wants to do. For which I can't really blame them.
Shhhhh! I'm hoping that this post will get quoted in the next Maine Republican party scare ad.
I heard the New Brunswick cadets are excellent swimmers, because they always train with their bowling balls.
Or their curling stones.
I love a happy ending.
Everyone's forgetting to mention that Sunday sales of booze will soon be legal in Georgia. I don't drink, and have never been to Georgia, but it seems newsworthy to me.

"It’s just that people have a right to know whose funding this effort…"

If it weren't for the homosexuals and the socialists there wouldn't be any plots at all.
Why are conservatives continually obsessed by their fear of being anally violated?
The dumber the message the bolder the type, never fails.
You mean, return to being sneaky about it. Here they thought they had a mandate to fuck us over, so they could be blatant about it. How disappointing that must be to have be a little more covert about it.
After the high of last night, I'm having a joy hangover. I have the most sickening feeling that he'll be given some cabinet position in the Snyder administration since they happen to be allies for reasons I've yet to even begin to understand.
The GOP is really pissed about this recall. In fact, before the recall, they were putting together punative legislation that specifically targeted the teachers union behind this recall. There are already GOP consultants saying that the gloves are off, now, and that the GOP is going to try to crush teachers into the ground for this.
How times change. Saw Michael Steele on MSNBC last evening; he seems almost lucid compared to the prominent clowns running for the Prez in is own party/
Black? Republican? Needs a job?
I think rentboy.com is hiring.
An understandable and comprehensible reaction. (Though you might want to stop paying attention to the media for the remainder of your lifetime. Not that I have any specific idea of what the future may bring, but I have a hunch that we haven't seen the last of the whole "media promoting blatant lies to get the public to support a war of imperial expansion" thing.)
the gloves are off, now, and that the GOP is going to try to crush teachers into the ground for this
Shit – you mean they weren't trying to crush them before?
