Mark:

I already did - that Allen missed less than 2% of the roll call votes in the House is not significant. I asked if you are a McCain supporter, as you know, because McCain has missed more than half of his votes in the Senate since Jan. 2007.

In other words, you would be a hypocrite to call Allen out while not doing the same for McCain.

Are you a hypocrite Mark?report abuse

Title VII of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, and sex.

Unless you are in favor of repealing the Civil Rights Act and allowing everyone to discriminate against people because of these "special rights" - which include only one category of citizens actually given a "special right" because it is a fact not in contention that it is a choice: "religion" - then you really ought to drop the transparently bigoted and pain-giving old line about protection from employment discrimination being a "special right" only when it apploies to gay people's attempts to have their EQUAL RIGHTS PROTECTED EQUALLY.

No one of either party who supported Bush or the Authorization to Use Force in Iraq sits in a safe seat.report abuse
