Fiscally Irresponsible ? how about Logically Irresponsible!

teenlaqueefa · February 2, 2015, 4:21pm

Marsh is truly a horrible person.

thunderclapnewman · February 2, 2015, 4:21pm

A note to the phenomenally stupid Mr. Marsh------

All those awful gay people are already eligible for Social Security and insurance.

Marriage equality is far less expensive than trying to educate an abject moron like Marsh.

…and those SSmarrieds will be adopting unwanted TeaXian kids…

and pumping up the wedding industry.

And , of course, when their marriages are declared legal, they will be exempt from paying ANY social security, and school taxes , and that sort of stuff.

And MegaCircusChurches will crumble because the Chri$harians will all be Raptured up (or so they’ve been led to believe…

////SSS

“GOP Lawmaker In Alabama: Gay Marriage Is So Expensive!”

Del knows cause all those insurance companies who bri-donate to his campaign, said so!

captaincommonsense · February 2, 2015, 4:36pm

Yes, because if civil rights are expensive, we shouldn’t do them.

What an asshole.

sniffit · February 2, 2015, 4:44pm

Alabama.

The End.

GOP- DOWN WITH SOCIAL SECURITY!!! GET THOSE LAZY BUMS OFF OF THE GOVERNMENT DOLE

GOP on Same Sex Marriage- OH MY GOD THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH THE COST WILL BE IN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS!

GOP on being hypocritical whiners…silent.

Elections would be cheaper, too, if only white, male landowners were allowed to vote.

manhattan123 · February 2, 2015, 4:55pm

The floral bill alone at those weddings will be astronomical.

tigersharktoo · February 2, 2015, 5:08pm

“Those People”? Ass.

And if they work, they already pay into Social Security.

austinite · February 2, 2015, 5:14pm

… there’s Stupid, then there’s GOP Stupid. The former is most definitely not as bad as the latter.

jinmichigan · February 2, 2015, 5:17pm

So how are “these people” not already eligible for Social Security? What a maroon.

jthomas666 · February 2, 2015, 5:20pm

Del Marsh has consistently been in the running for the “Most Idiotic AL Legislator” from the moment he arrived in Montgomery. And in Alabama, that is QUITE an accomplishment.

johnscotus · February 2, 2015, 5:23pm

Well said.

thunderclapnewman · February 2, 2015, 5:37pm

You win the interwebs for this thread.

doctorbiobrain · February 2, 2015, 5:41pm

He’s right. Marriage is too costly for society. We need to end it now and save billions of dollars in benefits. Just imagine the savings we’d have if all those little old widows bilking the system for their “husbands” Social Security and Medicare benefits had to get off their parasitic rears and get a job.

Or perhaps it hasn’t occurred to him that traditional marriage is just as expensive as gay marriage, if not more so. After all, couples that produce children are even MORE expensive for society than childless couples. So if we want to do the fiscally responsible thing, we need to end marriages and child birth immediately.

When at first you don’t succeed…
(at denying certain Americans of their rights)
get creative!

p.s. I wonder if the high costs of emergency room treatment
for irresponsible gun handling makes him question the
financial cost of 2nd Amendment rights…

But they haven’t been eligible for the substantial SS benefits that
are currently paid to straight stay-at-home-wives (and ex-wives).

Straight (and white): that’s OK. Gay (or brown): you’re a TAKER.

…whatever’s fair,
