Ed Markey and Mike Sullivan for Senate 2013: Comment on Debate


After listening to Democrats and Republicans debating for Senator Kerry’s spot, I hope that either Ed Markey http://markey.house.gov/ or Mike Sullivan are elected for senate. Their competition is 2nd class for Senatorial positions.

I am mostly in favor of the democrat candidate, Markey, but would not be disappointed if Mike Sullivan won.

Watching how Sullivan's Republican candidates, his competitors, didn't bat an eyelash at the subject of gay marriage had me worried. I am in favor of allowing gay marriage, but I don't believe I could discuss the issue with such a straight face. You know the type of straight face that makes people want to laugh.  When I initially wrote this as a post to Facebook, I was giggling at Sullivan's Republican opponents' candidate talk, and would like the chance to laugh in the face of his current competition.
If I had to describe the Republican debate on the subject of gay marriage, it reminded me of a scene in the movie Dirty Work (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120654/).
In one scene of the movie, Norm MacDonald gets even with a mean employer who runs a movie theater by playing (so called) gay porn in the theater.  The beginning of the scene is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tXQm9K9cjQ
I wouldn’t even know what gay porn is, as I have never seen it nor do I want to.  So, if you are gay and reading this, thank you for keeping the gay porn out of my search engine.
I'll never forget the tone of the words in Dirty Work, "Let's have sex with it," and thank goodness that they didn't show the porn. They just showed all the customers running out of the movie theater. That attitude of the gay porn tone of voice, which was so funny in Dirty Work is pretty much exactly the same voice these Republicans use in the debate.  It is worth a giggle.
The debate is available here: (the Democrats) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f41M6LUUils
And, (the Republicans),
