CARTWRIGHT SAYS YES
17th District Congressional candidate Matt Cartwright did something the other day that most candidates never do, he answered a question with a straight answer. When asked by the Times Leader if he was in favor of gay marriage, Cartwright didn’t him and haw, he just answered with a no BS, clear headed response. Cartwright said, “I’m for marriage equality. “There’s no reason to discriminate against gay people. They’re not a threat against anybody.” Cartwright honestly said his position has evolved and said he is against having religious institutions forced to perform a ceremony that it found in opposition to its teachings.
KENNEDY ANNIVERSARY
Today marks the three year anniversary of the death of Ted Kennedy. The son of an Ambassador, the brother of a President and Senator, Kennedy established a niche for himself in the United States Senate with an extraordinary legislative record. He became recognized as "The Lion of the Senate" through his long tenure and influence. More than 300 bills that Kennedy and his staff authored were enacted into law. Unabashedly liberal, Kennedy championed an interventionist government emphasizing economic and social justice, but was also known for working with Republicans to find compromises between senators with disparate views. Kennedy played a major role in passing many laws, including laws addressing immigration, cancer research, health insurance, apartheid, disability discrimination, AIDS care, civil rights, mental health benefits, children's health insurance, education and volunteering. During the 2000s, he led several unsuccessful immigration reform efforts. Over the course of his Senate career and continuing into the Obama administration, Kennedy continued his efforts to enact universal health care, which he called the "cause of my life." There is not one area of American life that doesn’t have Ted Kennedy’s legislative fingerprints on it.

And one dead girl named Mary Jo.
Let that never be forgotten as much as many would like it to be.

Of course the skank lawyer is for gay marriage. Gay marriage equals more divorces. Duh.
And lets not forget his sterling record on women's issues. He showered them with his own affection constantly, and championed women's choice when allowing that girl to choose to stay in the car when most men would have dragged her out, whether or not she wanted to get out.
Kudos to Matt Cartwright for his stand. Did you get a load out of the comments from his opponent? She said "The Lord is against homosexuals....and she listens to the Lord. Jeez.
Yonki, given your past history with the babes, I know you are not gay. And if you were, there'd be nothing wrong with that. BUT, these man crushes you have on the dead Kennedy brothers has to stop.

Jack Lord?
The Man was guilty of negligent homicide and thats a fact. Nothing can erase that. Nothing!
Only a political geek like Yonki would remember when Teddy died. I bet his own kids don't even remember when he kicked!!! But Yonk is at least consistent. You aren't going to mistake him for a Newt Gingrich Republican.
Yonk's sexism is apparent in not only his actions, but by those he idolizes. All the rhetoric does not erase the actions of the Kennedy. He used women in his personal life and he used them for political gain.
"Book him, Dano. The Lord has spoken and lets not forget the Missionaries who came to the Islands. Too bad we didnt stop em at the shoreline! And Jack Lords real name was Ryan, by the way.
