RNC chief: Gay marriage will burden small business

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Republicans can reach a broader base by recasting gay marriage as an issue that could dent pocketbooks as small businesses spend more on health care and other benefits, GOP Chairman Michael Steele said Saturday.

via RNC chief: Gay marriage will burden small business.

This is really a stupid argument.  If you are going to buy into this reasoning, why isn’t the RNC working to eliminate this burden for small business in regards to everyone?  If small business did not have to pay for these benefits for everyone think of all the other taxes the government could charge them then.  Remove this burden from small business for everyone.

Can they be serious?

How stupid is this? This girl goes out and has a child out of wedlock (which is like a huge no no) and they make her a spokesperson. Excuse me, but why is that everyone that does the “wrong thing” are made spokes people?

A second racy lingerie photo has emerged of Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean – as well as some details about her past that may shed some light on the beauty queen’s well-publicized views against gay marriage.
Prejean’s publicist says Prejean posed for the photos when she was 17 in order to land a modeling job. Prejean herself defended the first image, saying, ‘I am a Christian, and I am a model … Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos.’
Prejean, whose anti-gay marriage comments during the Miss USA pageant thrust her into the national spotlight, may also have some explaining to do about a series of court documents from her parents’ messy, decade-long divorce proceed”

Adams, through his spokes”
