1. Say "buh-bye" to your political career.

Don't let the door hit ya...

2. And a conservative Christian is for it.

Alice in wonderland?

4. It's a topsy turvey world...

The clocks will all run backwards
all the sheep will have two heads
and Thursday night and Friday
will be on Tuesday night instead...

[William769]

5. Never mind I just realized he is a Democrat makes more sense now.

The House moved the bill forward after hearing testimony for several days, including 11 hours of it Wednesday. Rep. Kaniela Ing, who describes himself as a conservative Christian, responded to the antigay testimony with impassioned support for LGBT people.

“So Christians, I ask you, what do you expect our gay brothers and lesbian sisters to do?” Ing said during Tuesday’s proceedings (see video below). “Be alone their entire lives? Have secretive lifestyles? Relationships? And not be in the type of committed monogamous relationships that this bill pertains to? How is that conducive to a moral and fair society? They are the way they are. Shouldn’t we allow them to love whom they love?”

6. Wow. That's astounding. Up really is down.

[William769]

8. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

[closeupready]

9. You can just feel the anxiety; yet, there he is, speaking out,

in support of GLBT people. This is a courageous and admirable man.

[William769]

10. Agreed.

3. Wait..WHUT?

Even her 'explanations' for voting against make no sense whatsoever...

Unless there are some really strange, illegal or potentially ugly things hidden somewhere in the print...

[sakabatou]

7. WTF?

[theHandpuppet]

11. Wow.

You are really messed up, Ms. Jordan.

[Politicalboi]

12. She probably hasn't told her mother

She's gay, so voting for it, would make that obvious.

[TeeYiYi]

13. Oh yeah...

...the vote would have been the give away.

TYY

[theHandpuppet]

14. By her logic...

Had she lived in 1920, she would have opposed passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the Constitutional right to vote.

Had she served during the 1960's she would have voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Ms. Jordan, you were elected to LEAD. That very word implies forward movement. In the words of Gandhi, "Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained."

[joeybee12]

15. My first thought...just how freaking stupid is she?

If she represents the whole state instead of the nutters who testified against it, she would have voted yes because a majority are in favor of it...breath-takingly stupid!

[theHandpuppet]

16. Willful denial and ignorance

You can't tell me she is unaware of the polls. Ms. Jordan is messed up. I would suggest some serious counseling after the recall.

[joeybee12]

17. She is messed up...it might have been skillful selection of her quotes by

the author of the article...but it not, she was fairly incoherent and incapable of logic.
