IS YOUR JOB SAFE?

If Jim DeMint (Rep.) is elected to the U.S. Senate and you're homosexual or a single mother, you'd better be worried. DeMint, currently running for the U.S. Senate seat being relinquished by the distinguished "Fritz" Hollings (D-SC), issued a statement that gay and lesbians should not be allowed to teach in the public schools. He also, in justification of that remark, stated that he felt the same way about a "single pregnant woman living with her boyfriend" teaching children. He believes that these individuals do not possess the morals or values needed to teach children.

Although DeMint has apologized for the comment, he didn't rescind it as error. He's just sorry he said it aloud. Let's not allow bigots like this to take their place in the U.S. Senate. If you live somewhere other than S.C., I encourage you to ask these questions of the candidates in your area. I'm sure a few of you will be surprised at their response.

For those of you in S.C., DeMint will be debating Democratic candidate Inez Tenenbaum tonight on WIS-TV 10 in Columbia.
