The leader of the Georgia Republican Party decried marriage equality in a newspaper interview as a pathway for heterosexual people to scam their way into getting tax breaks.“I believe a husband and a wife should be a man and a woman, the benefits should be for a man and a woman,” chairwoman Sue Everhart told the Marietta Daily Journal for a story published on Saturday. “There is no way that this is about equality. To me, it’s all about a free ride.”
Everhart described a scenario where two friends who were “straight as an arrow” could enter into a fake marriage if one of them had a job with a “wonderful health plan.”

Nope you cant make this **** up.. I wish it was from the Onion but social conservatives seem to be running out of excuses on why DOMA and banning gay marriage should still be active.

Marriage is a contract. It should be open to anybody will to abide by its terms, regardless of their motivations.

A real sharp reporter would call out: "When was the last time you had sex with your husband?"

Yikes!! Poor guy.

Two friends could already enter into such a marriage. So much stupid...

I would not call that a smart reporter. I would call that an asshole reporter whose employer should fire his dumb ass.

and most likely do.

Some even enter into marriage in order to immigrate legally into the US. It happens.

Some no doubt enter marriage for money.

It's not all about sex, after all. Sex is not everything, you know, even if it is way ahead of whatever is in second place.

She's implying that a loveless, sexless marriage is not a valid marriage. I'm saying a reporter would be right in throwing that idiotic notion back at her. Is she putting out sexually for her husband and fixing his dinner, or is she getting a free ride? Fair question. She's saying all marriages without sex and children are a "free ride". I'm saying she's a vile idiot who has opened herself to ridicule from the left and right.

During a Santorum press conference on traditional marriage according to the bible, a reporter asked Santorum if he supported wealthy men being able to purchase as many wives, sex slaves, and servants as they can afford... like in the Bible.

IMO, the press should openly mock dimwitted and vile politicians as much as possible. Edward R. Murrow hammered McCarthy with sarcasm and distain. Is it objective? No. Is is responsible journalism? Yes. You can intelligently and fairly use biting humor to expose the truth about someone. Katie Couric should have won a Pulitzer for asking Palin what she reads.

The reason a politician would/could make such an idiotic statement is because she has a receptive audience. Further proof of the truth of a dumbed down America.............

Pretty sure there's quite a few heterosexual couples that are only together for the money....

Perhaps even Sue Everhart.

And if she is entitled to question the motives of others, then her marriage is fair game.

It is actually a real argument for a change. I am not saying it is a good or non-hypocritical argument, but it actually shows the selfish desires and reality of the situation to the politician. What is one of the supreme court cases on gay marriage about? It is about the collection of taxes on the estate of a dead spouse. I think it was around 300k in tax revenue that will be lost. Now this is coming from the party of less taxes, but we can finally see some reality in the selfish nature of the people opposing gay marriage.

It is not and has never been about god. if it was we would forbid the spiritual joining of same sex couples by churches and other spiritual organizations. We don't touch that, and no one is suggesting outlawing gay marriages by religious organizations. You can get married before god all you want as a gay couple. You could have a big gigantic wedding in a church and have the whole town show up. You can be blessed by god and some preacher for your union. The only thing you cannot get is benefits. That is what this is all about. No one gives a damn about what god says, but they do care about what the state says. When the state says you are married you get benefits from it. People want to keep gays from getting those benefits because they are selfish, and we finally have that argument coming out.

It is a sucky, selfish, prejudiced argument. At least it is a real one. Oddly you can actually argue back with logic and reasoning with this point. There is no logic and reasoning witgh god says so, and you cannot argue with the supposed words of an imaginary being.
