sethrakSo a segment of Colorado's republican legislators are SO dead set against a bill to permit same-sex civil unions, they'll let bills on WATER PROJECTS, in a drought-riddled state, and standards for driving while stoned, die as a result of legally mandated legislative session deadlines rather than even let the damn bill out of committee.
Bravo, folks. Bra-VO. ::slow golf-clap::
Civil unions bill killed along with 30 other bills in late-night game of political chicken
Money quote:
"Waller refused to respond to questions about why Republicans were filibustering, including debating a bill on trans-fats in school lunchrooms in excruciating and sometimes hilarious fashion.
Rep. David Balmer, R-Centennial, practically screamed as he pounded on the lectern.
"Not a one of you has the courage to vote against chocolate!" he said. "
