Keyes - Infertile people should not marry

[erosewater]

Alan Keyes, the Republican candidate for a vacant U.S. Senate seat in Illinois, said Tuesday that Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Mary is a "selfish hedonist" because she is a lesbian.

His comments came during an interview with SIRIUS satellite radio.

Keyes said: "The essence of ... family life remains procreation. If we embrace homosexuality as a proper basis for marriage, we are saying that it's possible to have a marriage state that in principal excludes procreation and is based simply on the premise of selfish hedonism."

Asked whether that meant Mary Cheney "is a selfish hedonist," Keyes said: "That goes by definition. Of course she is."

I guess we should all have to sign contracts agreeing to procreate before we marry. Otherwise we're just hedonists.

That guy is a nut.

Come on that’s not what he's saying and anyways his ilk assume if they ban contraception and promote NFP that it's likely we'll procreate anyway regardless of our wishes.

Haha, I'm loving it....what a meltdown. A selfish hedonist.... Boy Keyes must have pretty much locked up his seat with that hoo-dinger.

i think the title of teh thread should have been:

Keyes says women are baby making machines

or

Women are incubators with legs

Good to see he sticks to his principles rather than just trying to get elected.

Yup, he'll pay for that...

They should have kept Jack Ryan. Republican's own damn fault.

Actually, no he won't. He had no shot at winning the seat against Obama. Ryan (the guy he replaced) is still showing polls as the better candidate.

Personally, it'll be satisfying voting against this yahoo.

I doubt this had any impact on the outcome of the election.
