Tim Huelskamp: ISBL Asshat of the Week

Kansas Republican Congressman Tim Huelskamp does not like The Gays, and does not like the ruling of the Supreme Court that rang the death knell for DOMA, and Prop H8 packing. 

So, even though the GOP’s Job#1 is jobs—except when they were trying to keep Obama out of the White House for a second term and except when they were voting for the, what is it now, the 37th time, to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act—Huelskamp's Job #1 right now is trying to get a Constitutional Amendment passed to ban same-sex marriage everywhere.

:::foot stomp:::

Sadly though, even in his home state of Kansas, he’s not getting the support for his Hate Ban that he’d hoped. The democrats are basically calling his attempt a joke, and his own party is telling him to settle.
“It is a complete and utter waste of time. It is a waste of taxpayer dollars. It clearly demonstrates that he has nothing better to do. He is holding on to this divisive and hateful legislation when he should be focused on bringing jobs back to the First District. This will not help the farmers.”— Kansas Democratic Party spokesman Dakota Loomis
Then toss in his own party and, well, me thinks Tim Huelskamp needs a nap.

Kansas state Congressman, J.R. Claeys calls the same-sex marriage ban “not a legislative priority of mine" and then added that he doesn't see a chance for Huelskamp's amendment ever passing. When asked if he thinks Huelskamp should have even made the proposal, he says, “I am not sure how to diplomatically sidestep this question."

Translation: Tim Huelskamp needs to settle down.

But Tim Huelskamp probably won’t take that sit down. While he admits that all recent polls show a majority of Americans leaning in favor of same-sex marriage, he is going to press on because his homophobia 1s Job#1; not what the people want, mind you.

And here’s his reasoning: "A majority of Americans don't like President Obama as president, but he's still the president."

Um, Obama is still the president because he was elected to the job, asshat. He isn’t a social issue, he’s the president. And when members of your own party are asking that you set aside your homophobia—which, many times in the GOP, is a cover-up for being a deeply closeted, bathroom stall foot-tapping, homosexual—you should listen.

The people of Kansas who voted for you want you to work for them, not for your own personal bigotry.


And that’s why you, Tim Huelskamp, are the ISBL Asshat of the Week.

    I was hoping this guy would get your attention. Him doing this less than 24 hours after the SCOTUS ruling is a pure asshat move.
