Ultra-conservative Senator Sam Brownback, in Iowa pretending to be a viable presidential candidate, stunned witnesses by declaring that the Republican party wouldn’t necessarily blackball any candidate who suggested demonstrating a tentative support for gay rights, or at least not publicly executing homos.
While some see this as an attempt to appeal to moderates, we are pretty sure it’s just an example of how prison can change a man.

Am I a 12 year old because I want to make a joke about the name Brownback and the return of the assfucking tag?
Jack Abramoff is such a tender lover.
Brownback: GOP has room for gay rights backers
It's a little room in the back... with a cot, a sink and a toilet. There's a small chest for your clothes and a little writing desk with a Bible on (certain passges have been highlighted for you to mull over and think about before you turn in for the evening). It's a little dark and a little damp and can get a bit chilly in winter, so make sure you pack a sweater. In short, it's not all that much, but it is a room. We'll even let you out every now and then when we need to you stand before the cameras and project an air of "tolerance" for the party. So... basically... welcome to tha party. Now get the fuck out of my sight before I puke.
this is brilliantly machiavellian for brownback. of course the GOP has room for a gay rights candidate, because without such a foil, brownback would be doomed in the GOP primary. doomed, i tell you, doomed!!!!
Next, should we expect Chuck Colson to embrace the "gay for the stay" exception for christian cons?
If this unsettling development doesn't scream out for a truly effective soy-chelation therapy, nothing will.
Getting six inches of prime tube steak during a behind-bars proctology exam has certainly turned Sam's pretty little head. All that pent up latency was just waiting to explode. (I mean Brownback, not the pitcher he met in the slammer. Actually, I believe Brownbottom received a "getting to know you" visit from the entire bull pen: triple A, Double A, Mexican league, etc. Booty-giver ain't gonna be able to sit down for year. Good times, good times.)
Encouraging human rights (cp or esc) is something I don't trust any conservative to do. Gay rights are a divisive political tool that politicians use: you know, divide and conquer. We all need to unite, however, on a national scale to address an international issue: poverty and hunger. According to the Borgen Project's website, the Millennium Development Goals are the greatest opportunity for the world's poor but are extremely underfunded. As a nation, we need to unite and reverse this trend.
Hey Ashley18: if the MDGs are such a "great opportunity" for the world's poor, can't we let them work on them? Huh?
(original post: "Now I understand why they call him 'Brownback'; he's covered in santorum!"
ashley:
Reduced cost K-Y for the 3rd World a Millennium Development Goal?
Not if you can also work in a reference to Log Stabbin' Republicans.
It's just part of the whole evangelical/born again meme = love the sinner, hate the sin. And by love the sinner they mean, as long as they commit to repressive therapy and accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior.
"Hello inmates. My name is Sam and I'm looking for some seeds of tolerance."
oh a night in jail how romantic.
Did he get beaten to a pulp/assfucked/maced/shanked/urinated on/flected with feces or tattooed ? No? then he ain't been to jail...maybe he should talk to Skillings in a year or so.
