Texas GOP platform comes out against oral sex, strip clubs, UN and SCOTUS
"The Texas Republican Party has passed its new election platform, including a ban on pornography, oral sex, gay marriage, sodomy, strip clubs -- they also want to ditch the Federal Reserve, "withhold Supreme Court jurisdiction in cases involving abortion, religious freedom, and the Bill of Rights," "oppose the implementation of one world currency" (why was I not informed of this One World Currency? It would sure make travel simpler!), and get the US out of the UN."

My favorite comment thus far:

"And the oral sex ban seems problematic, as the GOP is essentially a corporate glory hole."

3. in one section they talk about "individual rights"
and protecting them from the government's intrusions, and then later on, they want to keep sodomy illegal.

4.  "using the regulation model of the oil and gas industry as a model for the water market"
It's just full of brilliance.

5. They've had how many years with a Republican Governor?
And they haven't accomplished this or even tried?

6. Somebody told them that the French invented oral sex, so they
turned sour on their old ways, of advancing to get ahead in this old world.

8. I guess all their kids are into "Patriot Kissing" ...
at least, that's what the little GOP girls say about their GOP daddies ...

7. In a state where first time domestic violence charge is a misdemeanor
They would charge two people pleasuring each other in "the wrong way" as a Felony.
