It's really scary to be in a hearing room in Olympia filled with angry men with guns. It's brave to take a stand for common sense.

In that time he voted to impeach President Clinton, voted against money for sex education and contraception, voted against abortion rights, voted for DADT, voted for DOMA and voted for a federal constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage, even in states which had legalized it such as MA.

In short what a big asshole hypocrite!

From his 2006 vote for a constitutional amendment:

"I am a strong believer in the benefits of traditional marriage. While I understand that individuals are involved in various types of relationships, I believe we must give special recognition to marriage for one man and one woman, as it was defined in the Defense of Marriage Act a decade ago."

The obvious difference being of course that Occupy as a movement is based on a philosophy of non-violent protest, so, um, you know, that means, it most likely would never even have occurred to anyone in the movement to express opposition to something by using a tool of violence to shoot it full of holes.

But, hey, thanks for playing "False Equivalency: The Game Show"; we'll be sending you the home-version...

If Occupy did equivalent, you'd be heaping praise on its artistry...

Nice production values, I might add. Did they get the local high school's AV club to film this?

The guy is just doing what he knows will win him votes in his upcoming re-election bid. He knows where his bread is buttered, and he knows he is not making an actual argument. It is a publicity stunt, and an unoriginal one at that.

On another note, the American Conservatives Union has given Burlison a 100% conservative rating. I would wager at least 85% of that has to do with fetuses and firearms.
