Lt. Gov Candidate: Same Sex Marriage Would Lead To Marrying Clocks And Tables

Ever think “Wow, that’s one sexy little lamp, I’d like to commit myself to her forever!”

Well, a lieutenant governor candidate from Wisconsin firmly believes that same sex marriage will lead to people marrying furniture and other inanimate objects. You know, because saying it would lead to polygamy or animal marriage just wasn’t shocking enough.

Via Blogging Blue, a newscast report on Scott Walker’s running mate Rebecca Kleefisch’s strange thoughts on gay marriage plays a radio clip of her saying:

The Gay Marriage debate heated up again today thanks to some controversial remarks made by one candidate on the trail.

Kleefisch: “This is a slippery slope. In addition to that, at what point are we going to ok marrying inanimate objects? Can I marry this table or this, you know, chair? Can we marry dogs?”

Needless to say, if you have Kleefisch over for dinner, you might want to keep an eye on her — apparently she has a different sort of eye for furniture than most people.

(to all who remember the Dr. Demento radio show:) "They're coming to take me away, ha ha, they're coming to take me away."

Someone left the green door open and the inmates are running for office and voting for each other. Although I do like the way my couch cuddles up with me, LOL.

Sorry, I voted yes in the poll because this is just hilarious. If the religious right were only so comical more often they'd be a lot more tolerable. Take one off the yes votes if you want a better sample. Oi!

If nothing else this election is giving me a better appreciation for how nutty so many of my fellow Americans truly are. They're coming out of the woodwork these days. Even more astonishing is how poorly prepared they are. Look at the people running for congress for jebus sake. And they're the most competent ones!

Stone the flamin' crows. Just when I thought I'd heard every stupid argument under the sun, someone comes up with this tripe. The mind boggles.

she really doesn't know that dogs get married all the time and a lady married the Eiffel Tower? I would marry Dr Pepper or chocolate if I could but if she thinks I'm serious she needs to move to her own island

Actually I`ve been thinking about marrying my favorite ginger snap cookie. I think mr. paul block has got it right, a little bit of common sense and intellect is in dire need.

Picture my eyeballs rolling up like a Charles Town slot, because every time I think that the Religious Reich can't get any dumber, they manage to throw me a new curveball! Excuse me, but one cannot marry furniture for the same reason one cannot marry children or animals: THEY CANNOT GIVE CONSENT, you dumbass!

I don't know which is scarier, the idea that people like this actually think they have a logical argument against giving people the same legal rights as the rest of us, or the fact that there are more people out there who are stupid enough to vote for these brain-deads!
