Tex. House Rep. Louie Gohmert: Obama's jobs bill will destroy marriage.
Gohmert took to the floor of the House on Tuesday with a conspiracy theory — that President Obama’s jobs bill is actually part of his plan to destroy marriage.

Gohmert alleges that tax credits under the president’s plan would favor couples who live together but aren’t married.

Yep, that’s the ticket. Nobody in America lives together without being married, except the gays. Louie caught us. Damn, foiled again.

Then he got even stupider...read it here:

2. Actually, DOMA, Prop H8, etc. are job-killers.

NY State has seen an upsurge in marriage-related business activity (caterers, florists and the like) since they joined the 21st century earlier this year. It's all about jobs, jobs, jobs, except of course when those gays are or may be involved somehow... :eyes:

4. It's the other way around: couples separate and divorce after extended joblessness.
