Allen to reverse stance on crimes against gays
Sen. George Allen, R-Va., after coming under fire from some social conservatives for a 2004 vote, plans to reverse course next time and oppose making hate crimes against gay people a federal offense.

"When it comes before the Senate again, he will vote against adding sexual orientation to federal hate-crimes statutes," Mike Thomas, Allen's state director, said yesterday. In 2004, Allen voted the opposite way on an amendment in the Senate.

"I wouldn't define it as a flip-flop," Thomas added.

Joe Glover, president of the Virginia-based Family Policy Network, was among those who pressed for a change. He told The Washington Times after Allen's 2004 vote that Allen "can count on us to expose him as a conservative fraud."

1. So George Allen...
...is soft on crime.

Just want to make sure I understand.

The Family Policy Network and George Allen are soft on crime, and on record as being violent, biggotted asswipes that believe some kinds of violent crime don't warrant more than a slap on the wrist and a sit in the corner for a half hour.

Fucking assholes.

2. hell no it's not a flip-flop it's a whole damn ferragamo loafer
I am officially volunteering to go round up social conservatives and gay marry terrorize every damn last one of them.

What is the matter with them? Is it communicable? Maybe we should make them ride on the back of the bus. And the scary part is that every day they're having more little social conservative gay babies.

If they would just come out of the closet and accept the Holy Gay Spirit of Festivity into their lives and let the real heterosexuals only breed, then there wouldn't be any more little gay social conservative babies growing up to be social consarvative homophobes, and eventually there just wouldn't be any more little gay babies.

(had to stretch r-e-a-l hard for that one, sorry)
