Chutzpah Defined: Vitter and Craig Co-Sponsor Marriage Amendment (Gay Opinion Blog)

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:24:00 GMT

Dan Sweeney writes: “OK, so it's not news that politicians are hypocrites. But, my goodness. This just takes the hypocritical cake. As reported by PageOneQ.com , two infamous senators have signed on to the bill of Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker to establish a constitutional amendment codifying marriage as between a man and a woman. You probably only need two guesses as to which...

Why are we all so afraid of allowing gay marriage? (Gay Opinion Blog)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:05:00 GMT

By ROSS REILY Who knew that marriage needed protecting? Apparently U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., believes that to be the case. On Wednesday, Wicker introduced the Marriage Protection Act, which would amend our Constitution to declare that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. It has always baffled me why so many of us have a problem with gays and lesbians getting...

Larry Craig Backs Act "Protecting" Marriage (Queerty)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:51:47 GMT

Marriage has again become a hot political topic! House Republican Paul Broun of Georgia introduced a “marriage protection” measure last month and yesterday Republican Senator Roger Wicker introduced similar legislation. It reads: Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of [...]

Gee… Is There An Election Coming Up? (Box Turtle Bulletin)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:07:27 GMT

Must be. Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) introduced the so-called “Marriage Protection Act” to amend the U.S. Constitution to deny marriages to gays and lesbians. This is a companion measure to Rep. Paul Broun’s (R-GA) bill in the house. Neither is likely to go anywhere this time.

Rasmussen (6/24, likely voters, 5/27 in parens): Ronnie Musgrove (D) : 47 (47) Roger Wicker (R-inc) : 48 (46) (MoE: ±4%) Musgrove still pulls even with Wicker despite having a poorer favorability rating (47-43 to Wicker's 56-32), probably due to Musgrove being better known as a former Governor. Still, Wicker has begun putting his healthy cash-on-hand lead to good...

Yippie! Another anti-gay marriage amendment! Roger Wicker just introduced a joint resolution ( S. J.

None of them ever [...]

Ever get sick of those commercials that seem to be a lot louder than the show you're watching? Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss) sympathizes with you. The senator yesterday introduced legislation that would require the Federal Communications Commission to bar commercials from being broadcast at louder volumes than the program material they accompany.

Further evidencing the fact that so-called "pro-life" conservatives would more accurately be labeled "pro-birth" comes this study in contradiction from soon-to-be former Senator Roger Wicker. It boggles the mind (this one, at least) how his brain - and others like it - doesn't simply explode from the opposing forces of his "convictions." Never mind how his conscience doesn't leave...

More Polling Pegs the Musgrove-Wicker Race As Very Tight (MyDD)

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 11:57:31 GMT

Here's Rasmussen Reports in a release from last week that I haven't had the chance of writing up until now: Mississippi's appointed U.S. Senator Roger Wicker (R) finds himself in a very tight election battle to win the job on his own. University of Virginia's Larry Sabato has noted that this will be a "real political battle" which is "a rarity in a state that's usually red as red can...

MS-Sen, Pres: Ras confirms Wicker's lead, Obama competitive (Daily Kos)

Thu, 29 May 2008 20:51:19 GMT

A DSCC poll early last week gave Democrat Ronnie Musgrove an 8-point lead in Mississippi for Trent Lott's open seat (now held by appointed Sen. Roger Wicker). Later in the week, a Rsearch 2000 poll for Daily Kos gave Wicker a narrow 4-point lead but the poll had a flaw -- the head-to-head question including Wicker and Musgrove's partisan affiliation. The ballot, since this...
