STRAIGHTS NEEDN'T:

Lawmaker's proposal: Bar Republicans from adopting (Carl Chancellor, Feb. 23, 2006, Knight Ridder Newspapers)

State Sen. Robert Hagan sent out e-mails to fellow lawmakers late Wednesday night, stating that he intends to "introduce legislation in the near future that would ban households with one or more Republican voters from adopting children or acting as foster parents." The e-mail ended with a request for co-sponsorship.

On Thursday, the Youngstown Democrat said he had not yet found a co-sponsor.

As we've noted before, parody, sarcasm or spoofing is no longer possible in today's world.

This is ridiculous. The Ohio GOP, which hasn't been doing too well recently, should make this a major ad buy before the '06 election.

I'm from Youngstown. The place is full of people who "think" like that. One reason I left and never looked back.

What if two lesbian Republicans decided to adopt?

She'd say let them adopt but then follow with mandatory retroactive abortion. That way the gay-rights and pro-death people both win.

A bill to bar homosexual adoption was introduced recently in Ohio by a GOPer. This is a "funny" or "ironic" response.

The funny thing is that he doesn't get the reproductive capacity part.

You guys are burying the lede here. No co-sponsor.
