I'd have thought Senator Vitter (R-LA) would be interested in finding allies to defend his dying city, not dividing Americans and alienating people (this blog included) who love New Orleans, have stood by New Orleans over the years, and have been constant critics of George Bush's abandonment of the city.
Vitter had the following to say yesterday about the gay-bashing constitutional amendment:
"We're building votes," said Sen. David Vitter, R-La., another new supporter. "That's often what's required over several years to get there, particularly to a two-thirds vote."Maybe Vitter should spend a little less time building votes for gay-bashing, and more time building levees and searching for dead bodies in New Orleans now that the hurricane season is again upon us and New Orleans remains a disaster.
And people wonder why New Orleans is dying. Even their own US Senator thinks gay marriage is a bigger priority than helping revive New Orleans.
