To give you an idea of how much the Colorado House Republican leadership hates the gay homosexuals,
here's a complete list of bills that died last night as a result of Rep. McNulty's tactics.
The civil unions bill is on the list, of course, but the interesting part is all the collateral damage. McNulty's "let's take the fuck off and nuke the site from orbit; it's the only way to be sure" approach killed all the other bills on that list.
All but one of the other murdered bills was bipartisan or wholly Republican sponsored. For instance, our Republican state rep. and state senator sponsored a bill that would have reduced criminal sanctions for certain drug offenses and funneled the law enforcement savings into substance abuse treatment. There's a bill that would have included dental services for pregnant women as part of the state's Medicaid program. One bill would have substantially altered state public school disciplinary laws, with the aim of derailing the school-to-prison train. Hell, there's even a "Drill Baby Drill" bill on the list!
All dead, and all because Frank McNulty hates t3h kweersz. A moment of silence, please.
