Or, “Reasons I will never, EVER vote Republican #29,472”.

For those of you who have recently signed up for Team Def, I probably should have mentioned early on that some posts will be political ... and they may not always be in line with yr own political beliefs, seeing as how I don’t support any political party.

This is because I generally regard all politicians with suspicion and rank their importance somewhere on the same level as Vaudeville comedians (ask yr grandparents) and professional wrestlers. I do take political issues seriously (or at least the ones worth taking seriously), but not necessarily the politicians arguing about them. Which basically means I will give either side a hard time if they do something silly/annoying/reprehensible.

However ...

Whilst I don’t have any particular reverence for the Democratic Party, it’s safe to say the chances of me joining the Republican Party these days are as close to zero as makes no odds.

And here’s why.



Okay, it’s not the ONLY reason. And I realize technically this is just Texas (except for the OMG Gay Marriage part), and that this is just one plank in a broader platform.

But even if the other planks were good ones, this plank is a dealbreaker for me. I can’t take any political party seriously that’s so afeared of Teh Gayz that they’ll reinstate bans on blowjobs and buttsecks to stop them, especially a party that also presumes to lecture me on the dangers of intrusive Big Govt. And don’t get me started on outlawing strip clubs and porn.

Truth be told, I’d be embarrassed to vote Republican at this point. Seriously.

Get out of my bedroom,

This is dF

I wish they would stop making me feel embarrassed to be from Texas.

If it helps, a lot of the coolest people I know are from Texas, so I always tell myself that for every creature like Joe Barton, there's people like you. Also, a state with a city that can do SXSW every year can't be ALL bad.

Yeah, Austin is our saving grace. It's easier to explain than the subtler things that are great about Texas, especially in opposition to "But BUSH IS FROM THERE."
