Lawmaker Suggests Gay Marriage Leads to Bestiality

Just saw a link at Pam's House Blend to this story at

Two Colorado lawmakers got into a shouting match when one of them marched into a news conference the other was holding to denounce same-sex marriage.

Rep. Kevin Lundberg (R-Berthoud) and Rep. Jim Welker (R-Loveland) called the news conference to tout their proposed amendment to bar gays and lesbian from marrying.

Colorado already has legislation that blocks same-sex marriage. But, Lundberg said that it could be overturned by judges. Lundberg called it "the most significant domestic issue of the decade."

At that point, Rep. Angie Paccione (D-Fort Collins) had enough. "We have over 700,000 Coloradans without health care," she said, her voice rising, she yelled as she marched up the podium.

"How could we possibly say that gay marriage is more important than health care?"

Paccione, who is half black, also reminded him that interracial marriage used to be illegal in Colorado. She said denying gay people the right to marry is no different. Lundberg argued that they were two different issues. Welker then interjected saying that gay marriage would open a "Pandora's box".

"Where do you draw the line?" he said. "A year and a half ago a lady in India married her dog." Welker was referring to the marriage of a 9-year-old girl who married a stray dog in 2003 as part of a ritual to ward off an evil spell.

WTF are they putting in the drinking water in Colorado? Or is it being trucked in from Alabama? I wonder what kinds of things are stored in his personal folders on his PC...

Here are some predictable cookie-cutter positions of Rep. Jim Welker on a few recurring issues of the batsh!t brigades:

Family Values

Protection from Internet Pornography Internet filters are needed to protect schoolchildren from accidentally downloading pornography while on computers in our libraries and schools. I co-sponsored legislation on this issue; it did not become law. This issue remains vitally important. I will support all efforts to put commonsense and decent restraints in place to protect our young people.

Federal Marriage Amendment

Coloradoans spoke on this issue before when they passed the Defense of Marriage Act. I also support the Federal Marriage Amendment. I believe that marriage is meant to be between one man and one woman. This amendment needs to be added to the Constitution. It does not diminish the civil rights of gays and lesbians; it protects the definition of traditional marriage, which is the backbone of our great nation.

The Right-to-Life

According to statistics from October, 2003 to July, 2004, every month in the Planned Parenthood clinic in Fort Collins, Colorado, an average of 131 unborn babies are aborted. This practice is legal, but it is not right, moral, or just. Life begins at conception. The decision to make abortion legal in this country should be overturned. We need to value and protect all human life.

Assshattery. You can bet he's staunchly pro-dealth penalty.

Not to be picking solely on Welker, Rep. Lundberg is more of the same:
