Allard needs the boot ... in 2008

Marilyn Musgrave and her Federal Marriage Amendment nonsense is one thing. The woman is a wackjob, and its up to her constituants to either remove her, or stand with her in wackjob solidarity. She doesn't represent me, and I have no say in what she does. Wayne Allard on the other hand, I can do something about. I had no particular problem with Allard before, but with this move we're beginning to look a lot like the "Hate State" once again. Whoever his opponent will be in 2008 - assuming my memory lasts that long - has earned themselves a volunteer.

Sen. Wayne Allard on Tuesday introduced a Senate version of a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, meaning four of the nine Coloradans in Congress have lent their names to the controversial cause.

Allard's measure is meant to short-circuit the debate being waged in U.S. courts by defining marriage as being between a man and a woman.

"This union is sacred and must remain so," Allard added.

Allard's amendment is identical to one being carried in the House of Representatives by Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, a Fort Morgan Republican.
