Another Republican representative lies in the gay marriage debate.

I think she's supposed to have waxed eloquent, despite saying she wouldn't.
I didn't find her so. My first thought was, "Who is Eloquent, and why won't she wax him?" But I've had a few, so my take may not be reliable."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

That's it? Something that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with "the debate"?
She's a Republican. She's supposed to oppose same-sex marriage. That's her party-culture's requirement of her, if not her party's. But instead of being a typical party tool, she decided to be a Mensch, a genuine person. She spoke from her heart and her heart told her plainly and clearly that this hatred against love is wrong. She spoke the truth, from her heart. I cannot see how she had lied, except perhaps in a very narrow literalist interpretation. But then I have never been a literalist ... except when I read the Bible which then led to my becoming an atheist. PSAnd even though none of us knows just exactly who "Eloquent" is, whether he/she gets waxed or not, and by whom, should always be kept in private. PPSEver hear of sotol?

PPS Ever hear of sotol? Hadn't. Googled. The state drink of Chihuahua and Durango? Sounds intriguing. I'll check it out. For medicinal purposes."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

Subtle irony?
Not really, that I could see. Yes, she did say that she would not wax eloquent, yet she did. That would have been true of any issue under consideration. The "debate" was and is about same-sex marriage. Her party would have anticipated her coming out against, yet her own self and experience brought her out in favor. But still, the fact of her waxing eloquent when she said she wouldn't has no bearing on the issue itself.
The state drink of Chihuahua and Durango?
Years ago, my suegra (mother-in-law) send me a humor list, "Sabes que eres mexicano cuando:" ("You know you're Mexican when ... "; OBTW, she's Mexican). One entry was: Sounds intriguing. I'll check it out. For medicinal purposes."4. Piensas que el Tequila cura la gripa y otras enfermedades." ("you think that tequila cures the flu and other illnesses."). When I have a sore throat or a bad muscle pain, I take tequila for it. It does seem to help. Especially as a muscle relaxant. The sotol is a related plant to the agave.

anytime you can slander the right or the republicans Really really if you are going to make a lame argument could you at least know what the words mean. I suggest you take a quick look at the words slander and libel. No links. Look them up yourself.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
