GOP Fool- Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, advisor to Romney, Gays, like drug users/polygamists.

GOP Ignorance of the highest level. Seriously, those involved in higher office positions need psychiatric evaluations / profiles for competency to lead.

Mitt Romney Advisor Kris Kobach Likens Gays To Drug Users, Polygamists
By On Top Magazine Staff
Published: August 22, 2012

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, an advisor to Mitt Romney on immigration policy, on Tuesday compared gay people to drug users and polygamists.

Kobach, an RNC delegate, made his remarks during a debate on the 2012 Republican Platform in Tampa, Florida.

In response to a Nevada delegate's proposal to add language in support of civil unions for gay and lesbian couples, Kobach said: “I oppose this amendment, I think the wording is too broad. Especially the last sentence: 'As long as there are no infringements on the rights of others, It is not the role of government to judge.' Well, our government routinely judges situations where you might regard people completely affecting themselves like, for example, the use of controlled substances, like, for example, polygamy that is voluntarily entered into. We condemn those activities even though they're not hurting other people, at least directly.”

A urinalysis and hair testing should be done.

Why? Because it's obvious he's on some sort of mind-altering drug. Just listen to him!

He is one of the key players in the undoing of the American dream. And he continues to offer proof of his idiocy.

there is going to be an exodus out of Kansas unless a right wing teabagger. This video by The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur says a lot about what KS has become and where it's headed.
