Perry criticized for comparing homosexuality with alcoholism

ezs note: No matter what you may hear, being LGB or T does not cause conditions similar to alcoholism. However, having to hear knuckleheads like Rick Perry might. Science has shown that registering to vote and then voting does definitely put a smile on one's face. Urging friends and relatives to vote only increases the chances for health. Remember - there is help!

Who will make the change?
Credit: oneoldvet.com
By now, Americans and those around the world who are political buffs are shocked by Eric Cantor's loss. What happened to him? There are those among the pundits who say the major issue is immigration, but I think it's more than that. I think that there was a deep disaffection among the vox populi , and immigration was just the fuse which blew Cantor's chances.
However, this is really moot, since Cantor's chances are those of a beached whale.
I think you have a much better chance. From a gay man beaten by thugs in the Motor City, to a transgender woman forced into slavery for two years, to a dimwitted Congressman from Texas spewing forth his garbage, to a candidate in Oklahoma who likes the idea of stoning LGBTQ people to death (it's in the bible, you know), I'd be highly pissed myself.
But first you have to be enrolled.
And then you have to vote.
C'mon, you can make a difference. And maybe change the world.
