GOP candidate, Rebecca Kleefisch, in Wisconsin: Sorry for comparing gay marriage to marrying a dog
Source: NY Daily News


Think she wants a do over?

The Republican nominee for lieutenant governor in Wisconsin is taking a whole lot of heat after she compared gay marriage to marrying a table...or a dog.

"We can't at this point afford to just be handing out money to anyone," Rebecca Kleefisch told WVCY, a local Christian station while discussing her opposition to domestic partner benefits for gay state employees.

"This is a slippery slope in addition to that -- at what point are we going to OK marrying inanimate objects? Can I marry this table, or this, you know, clock? Can we marry dogs? This is ridiculous."

3. Oh, so she wants to stop the war; and refuse funding for Israel.. Yeah, right!

Just ask her real questions.. reporters are useless.. where are the follow up questions.. If not giving it to the taxpayers who put the money in, then who better to give it too? Where should we spend the money? These people are ridiculous.

(on edit; I'm not picking on Israel.. its just a country no politician who wants to win anything would ever want to take money away from.. I'm pointing out hypocricy of "cut spending"; "cut taxes"; yet not one of these people can state where they would cut their spending)

4. But they told me that I looked good enough to win

No one told me I would have to answer hard questions

One of the comments:
In Biblical days, people feared as to what a sheep herder might do on those long, lonely nights. Thus, a law was issued that would utilize the fear of God as the deterrent. I guess nobody wanted little "Pans" to run around! I could be mistaken.
