Larry Craig and David Vitter — “two United States Senators implicated in extramarital sexual activity” — have named themselves as co-sponsors of S.J. Res. 43, the Marriage Protection Amendment. If passed, the bill would amend the Constitution to declare that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.”

    Awesome…


  3. ralph the wonder llama Says:

    Man, you gotta love the Republicans’ lack of self-awareness. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

    I heard that both Craig and Vitter pushed for the language to include, “marriage ‘shall consist only of the union of a man, and a woman who stands next to him at the podium during his damage-control press-conference.’” But it was voted down.

    You can’t make this stuff up.

    Here they go! Trotting out the ole “Gay Marriage” distraction…you gotta have a wide stance to have the lack of shame, Craig…

    You really can’t write this $hit, they write it for us. I’m surprised that the King of marital fidelity, John McSame isn’t also sponsoring the bill.

    So I guess that whole “States’ Rights” thing has gone out the window, huh?

    I can hardly wait to see what the Daily Show does with this. Sometimes, it just writes itself.

    Those wives looked thrilled to be with their men. :-D


  14. misshusseinmolly Says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    But let’s be fair. Larry Craig believes that marriage should be between a man and a woman, and that sex in public bathroom stalls should be between a man and a man.

    We don’t really know where Vitter thinks man on man sex is appropriate — just where sex and diapers are appropriate.

  17. oldtree Says:

    Both of these fine public servants value marriage. It allows them to trot the wife out to prove they aren’t gay or seeing prostitutes regularly. But the most important part is the alimony and testimony part of a marriage. Can’t testify about a congressperson you are spoused up with, you will disappear.


  18. Leftside Annie Says:

    Diaper David and Tappy Widestance what an awesome pair.

    What makes Repukes such hypocrites anyway, is it the water?


  25. PatrioticLiberalChristian Says:

    To be fair, Craig and Vitter were not trying to “marry” anyone when they were trolling for sex and it’s easy to speculate that this legislation would probably more accurately be called “Save My Marriage Amendment”.

  29. PatrioticLiberalChristian Says:

    rogerse Says:

    Isn’t that the definition of marriage.

    roger does not understand (go figure!) that “definitions” are dynamic and changing according to culture and time. He probably does not realize that our own culture has at various times defined marriage as “taking a wife” (property) and uniting governments. Even Biblical acceptance of more than one woman as a wife and the ordering of a man to marry the widow of his deceased brother to maintain a blood line constitute different definitions of marriage.

    PRESERVE HAPPINESS
    OUTLAW ALL MARRIAGE!!


  35. Bushie Says:

    And I thought the GOP didn’t have a sense of humor.

    Amendment 28: Marriage shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman excluding all others, except of course those employed or self-employed in the business of negotiable virtue or other liaisons where the spouse is not aware, nor would want to be.


  36. ScaryBrownHusseinChick (ThinkOutsideTheBush) Says:

    I think “marriage” should be abolished altogether. Any couple, including the heterosexual ones, should have to have a civil union to gain access to certain benefits. This would take religion out of the equation entirely. Couples could have an optional religious ceremony of some sort, but would still need to get a legal civil union in order for their partnership to be recognized by the federal, state, or local governments. I think this is the only way to separate church and state when it comes to marriage - gay, straight, or otherwise. All marriages would be equal this way. And we can even refer to them as civil unions or some other legally descriptive term, since the word “marriage” implies a religious sanction.

    I’m sure I’ll be attacked for the above statement but I myself come from a religious background in which homosexuality is frowned upon. I am not an atheist and I’m not against religious, but I am only pondering what I perceive would be a fair and objective solution to removing another aspect of religion from government and politics.

    S.J. Res. 43, the Marriage Protection Amendment. If passed, the bill would amend the Constitution to declare that the marriages of Larry Craig and David Vitter are annulled, and neither of them will ever be allowed to remarry.

    Craig and Vitter are trying to save themselves from getting the boot in their next elections, this would never pass ratification.


  43. LividLib Says:

    rogerse Says:

    “If passed, the bill would amend the Constitution to declare that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman”

    In the case of your parents, the man and woman were brother and sister.


  44. Max-1 Says:

    rogerse,
    What about all the Loyal Christians(R) that marry for life only later to get a divorce and then remarry? “Till death do us part” means nothing to them and you’re O.K. with that? But let two men get married for life and gawd forbid, THAT is a sin? Isn’t infidelity a sin? What about Craig’s homosexual trysts? And Vitter’s lust for hookers? Not sins?

    Oh, IT ONLY COUNTS WHEN YOU’RE A REPUBLIFUNKINNAZI? NO?

    Isn’t Haggard back in action somewhere? This could be the first bill sponsored by a ‘hat trick’ of nutjob repubs.

    As Zooey said: Look at the faces of those wives; that is not the “I am happy to be here look”. Thay may even pull a Lorena Bobbit deal and cut him off at the *cough* knees.

    Thanks for the laughs GOP; you make this stuff way too easy.


  54. Above the Clouds Says:

    Craig and Vitter should team up with Reverend Ted Haggard to sponsor the “support those who snort meth from the gay hooker’s dick with church donation cash” protection act.

    I absolutely agree with you. “Marriage” is nothing more than a legal contract entered into by two parties, exactly like a sale, a will, a partnership, etc.

    It should be treated as such.


  56. Paul W Says:

    So same sex marriage is somehow going to destroy the institution of marriage and must be banned at all costs yet infidelity is apparently harmless. You have to wonder if these clowns ever actually listen to what they say.

    But if marriage is only for “certain people,” (i.e. a man and a woman), and not available to any adult person who wants to get married — I say get rid of the whole concept.

  65. DRxJ Says:

    Okay, sorry, busy day, so if someone posted this, my apologies:
    the bill would amend the Constitution to declare that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.

    But I’m assuming Craig is okay with a union of man and man if it’s “outside the marriage”, and Vitter is okay with any union of man and woman, especially if it’s done in a motel room?

    Is this another SNL sketch???


  66. MapleStreet Says:

    Sorry, I can’t come up with anything that rises to the level of sarcasm which this deserves.


  67. tarazan Says:

    And they added and AMENDEMENT to the bill:

    It is permissible to have fun in public bathrooms.
    It is OK for a husband to try a baby diapers.


  68. LividLib Says:

    Zooey Says:
    But if marriage is only for “certain people,” (i.e. a man and a woman), and not available to any adult person who wants to get married — I say get rid of the whole concept.

    I totally agree. There should be two categories:

    1) “civil unions” sanctioned by the State and dissolved by the state with all the rights and privileges endowed by the state and federal governments and

    2) “marriage” committed in a religions setting to be dissolved only by the religious body that sanctioned the “marriage”. If you want all the perks that go with it, then if you get “married” you also have to do the “civil union”.

    I think this would be the perfect solution to the problem.

    My thoughts are if we had a system similar to this, most people would not commit to the religious “marriage” because I suspect that the church would make it much harder to get out of than the State would do with a “civil union”.


  70. Heynow Says:

    “I am not gay”


  71. DRxJ Says:

    If there are any trolls here (and there should be a plenty), please explain to me, in detail with examples, of how an amendment worded to include marriage as a union “only of a man and woman” will protect heterosexual marriages.
    I’m just curious, because as of today, about 99.9% of marriages are hetero, and over half end up in divorce. I’d say that “straights” are doing a fine enough job of ruining marriages.


  72. Red Pill Says:

    Right on cue, these hypocritical bastards fire up this amendment in an election cycle. Anything to distract the public from the fact that John McCain is Grandpa Munster on crank, and that the Republican Party is bankrupt of ideas, ethics, and honor.

    Coming Soon to a Congress near you: a constitutional amendment outlawing the burning of the American flag!

    Craig & Vitter should draft a bill protecting marriage from men like them.

    I’m sure I’ll be attacked for the above statement…
    ________________________________________________________

    Not from me, you won’t. I agree with you completely. Separating unions recognized by God and recognized by government is the only way to go.

    When Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier back in 1956, they had two ceremonies. The lavish wedding spectacle that was presented to the public was the religious (Catholic) ceremony, but the civil ceremony required for the marriage to be valid under Monagasque law was a small private affair (no catering).

    Couples who wanted their union blessed by the church generally had two ceremonies, since only the civil ceremony was recognized by the government.

    I think that’s an excellent system.

    Good luck, guys. In order for this amendment to get green-lighted, you need 38 states to ratify. This means it will only take 13 states to derail it.

    Many people who are against gay marriage believe it should be up to the states to decide. I doubt the 38 can be scraped together.

    TeleMan Says:
    What is it about monogamous homosexuals that scare the Repugs so?
    Oh, that’s right. Anything different than their little imaginary world make them wet themselves.

    Fewer opportunities for anonymous bathroom sex for Craig… For Vitter, he just believes only heterosexual men should be able to pretend to be married while screwing around - it’s HIS RIGHT do trash marriage, not gay people’s.


  83. curmudgeon Says:

    This bill must be designed to protect Larry Craig’s marriage. After all, if gay marriage were legalized, if Craig has a gay lover, he could pressure Craig to divorce his wife and marry him. In other words, it would be “put up or shut up” time. We couldn’t have that, now could we?

    Remember, the safety of our country depends upon the passage of this bill. Just recall the dire warnings from the Christian Reich about this, including the pronouncement that Hurricane Katrina was New Orleans’ punishment for allowing a gay event to occur in the city (Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri, with the recent flooding, must have committed similar egregious sins as well).

    And consider the following news flash from three years ago, “On July 20, 2005, Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide with the approval of the Civil Marriage Act.” Maybe nature hasn’t yet unleashed their fury on that country, but if the Christfascists are correct, there time is coming.

    Perhaps Vitter signed on just to add some “credibility” to the bill?

    Even Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert couldn’t make up something this outrageously funny.

    Anyone have any info regarding other Senators jumping on the bandwagon or rather, going into the bathroom stall with Craig & Vitter on this farce?


  84. Linus Says:

    S.J. Res. 43, the Marriage Protection Amendment, declares that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman and any 3rd party (or 4th, or 5th, etc.), whether male or female, the man decides he wants to drag into it from time to time and at any time he so wishes.”

    One is sticking his dick in women who are not his wife and the other is sticking his dick in the ass of men. Now how sick do these two have to be to think it is their place to say that a man should only marry a women.

    You can just read Craig’s mind as he thinks, boy that Vitter is cute as hell, I wonder if he is a wide-stancer.


  107. Robt Says:

    How fitting for the both of them.

    Vitter can provide the diapers and Craig the toe tapping to exite the other Senators into supporting their reserections of puritan rule.


  108. Kira Says:

    ROTFLMAO!

    This one puts the icing on the hypocritical cake.

    Just another example of the so-called “moral majority” accusing others of the sins they themselves are comitting - as a distraction. All from Nudie Gingrich’s reThugliCon manual.


  109. Kira Says:

    I should say things they define as sins. But only if other people do … whatever it is.

    The sad, and slightly scary aspect of all this, is that they’re doing this because they think their constituents are too dumb to realize they’re being played, by two hypocrites.

    They must have so low an opinion of the intelligence of people who sent them to congress, Craig and Vitter think this bit of political chaff will cause the voters to doubt the charges made against them, and just maybe, return them to office after the election.

    Sadly, given the easily-manipulated nature of their conservative constituents, it’ll probably work.

    Breaking news from the British Journal of Nutsology.
    It is now a proven scientific fact that being republican is proof positive of insanity says Dr Elmwood Futherthom.
    All republicans should be treated, and some can recover.
    However die hard bush supporters are beyond help and should be quarantined as soon as possible for the greater good of humanity; these people have lost all signs of being human and have become a danger to themselves and others. If republicans are spotted in your area they should be pointed out to local mental health professionals. The sooner the better. That is all.
