Unless Hutchinson is planning to veto there isn’t much he needs to say other than “Me hate gay people…me love freedom…me love bashing women on head…”

War is God’s way of teaching Americans world geography. Homophobia is God’s way of teaching Americans the names of Republican governors. -@LOLGOP

What’s to discuss? This is ARKANSAS.
Bic will have to put on another shift to make enough pens for Asa to put enough ink on this baby.

To be fair, exceptions don’t change the rule, they lie outside it…but, point taken.

Let’s hope the corporate backlash is as strong from inside and outside Arkansas as it has been in Indiana. Hit 'em where it hurts, in the wallet. It’s all they seem to understand.
Nice to see all these Republican state legislatures have already cleared up all the poverty crime and hunger in their states, solved their education problems and delivered affordable healthcare to every sick and needy person and now have all this time and energy left to resolve the ‘baking cakes for homosexuals for money’ problem …

If I lived there, I’d be ashamed of my governor too.
I am…
Didn’t vote for him
The bill has the word Freedom in it, so if you oppose it, you must also oppose Freedom!!! Check-freaking-MATE, Democrats!!

Rather than having enough political sense to dance around the topic, most TGOP presidential aspirants have gone all in on supporting Indiana, freedom, choice, and hating teh gay. It makes it harder for the Crazy Party to cull its candidates when they’re looking like a herd of clones. AND, because independent voters have swung behind LGBTQ rights, it’s becoming impossible for any of them to win swing states in the general election no matter which clone gets nominated.

Thunderhawk, Indiana was a big Klan state. I grew up there and experienced Jim Crow in the 50’s and into the 60’s–separate drinking fountains, seating in the balcony only, segregated public swimming pools. I learned the basic n-word jokes in kindergarten and 1st grade. Indiana is not like Ohio and Illinois. It’s like Kentucky and southern Missouri, with plenty of rural poor who like to know there’s somebody below them.

Oh yeah, I know. We called it Indytucky. Klan was huge in Indytucky.
No offense, but I’ve always hated that fucking state.

Don’t you worry…the Liberal Media™ will do everything it can to help these Klanners win swing states.
Hutch and Pence are both doing the two-step backtrack dance, will this become a republican Goob linedance?
It is time to add a permanent caveat to an old truism… Elections have consequences, but so do the lousy laws that come from those consequential elections.
What some seem to miss is that all of this is just window-dressing, cheap political payback to Armey’s Tea Mob and Rove’s Fundie crowd for joining the electoral process and keeping our neoroyals on their fast track to total ownership.
Red Meat time, at least on the bubbling surface, and all the while, in the background, occurs the REAL legal wrangling that matters, the stuff that deals with Wall Street reform and voter rights and equal rights, environmental safety and worker safety, anything about corporate costs, especially if it has to do with wages and benefits.
The REAL movers and shakers are in those latter meetings, while the fakes and phonies and facemen, with the help of a compliant media, are all very publicly wrangling over that meaningless red meat, fomenting even more confusion and support from the angry mob.
