"Virginia is for Lovers" No longer appropriate

Back to the drawing board.

How about "Virginia is for tightassed conservatives with no humanity?"

How about "Virginia is about making your love life a crime"

"Virginia is for lovers who want to become mothers"

"Virginia is for men who need to control their women's uteruses"

"Virginia is for women who have been vaginally penetrated"
(hat tip to Virginia Democrat Del. David Englin, who reported this remark of
unidentified republican)

And thanks to Esquire Magazine for "Virginia is for Morons"

and so on

Virginia is for Lovers, but only if you are straight, married, and only having missionary intercourse to make babies.

That was the joke going around back then during the trial. Virginia could have prosecuted both Marv and his girfriend for CONSENTUAL sodomy (law appled to gays and straights), but I guess they didn't want to become even more of a laughing stock around the country than they already were.

They have short memories it seems.

KKK, Jim Crow, the corporatist coiup attempt against FDR, (dare I say JFK?) and the sleight of hand of the Southern Strategy.

Suddenly they pop out with no past other than Reagan--then another Bush donut hole. Totally blank on that one, too.

to the list of places we hate, and deride. I just had a conversation with a member the other day after he posted that Repubs were hateful and divisive, while I maintained that we were just the same.

so, honestly, it's time to stop with this... oh, don't pick on this or that state.

This issue is an abomination.

If you didn't vote for those pols, then this isn't about you. If you or others did vote for those politicians, then, yes, people have every right to say to you that you are disgusting.

Take this sort of outrage someplace else. It's not just Virginia that's at issue here - but it is about the PEOPLE AND LAWMAKERS in ANY STATE who support this shit.

as much as I do. Didn't think that apology would be necessary in a clearly humorous post, but some folks are touchy I guess.

and this person is ridiculous to start this bullshit here.

It's SO EGOTISTICAL.

It's not about him or her. It's about the war on women in the Republican party.

that's not what I said - I plainly stated this is about those who voted for and those who are implementing these Republican policies, no matter the state.

you just don't want people to comment about what lawmakers are doing - Virginia isn't the only state with horrific Republican policies in play - it's not about you unless you voted for these cretins - in which case, yeah, then it is about you.
