State Senator Caught Looking At Porn On Senate Floor

Everyone knows how boring a debate on a controversial abortion bill can get on the Senate floor. So it's no wonder that Florida State Sen. Mike Bennett took the time to look at a little porn and a video of a dog running out of the water and shaking itself off. From the article: "Ironically, as Bennett is viewing the material, you can hear a Senator Dan Gelber's voice in the background debating a controversial abortion bill. 'I'm against this bill,' said Gelber, 'because it disrespects too many women in the state of Florida.' Bennett defended his actions, telling Sunshine State News it was an email sent to him by a woman 'who happens to be a former court administrator.'"

Hey, Jesus does it too!

That's some twisted logic there, Lou.

It's an inappropriate picture, being looked at on a taxpayer's purchased computer, through taxpayer provided Internet connectivity, by a taxpayer funded lawmaker, and the floor of the State Senate. Call me a prude, but I don't appreciate this asshole using my tax dollars to ogle naked chicks at my office; no more than the GOP appreciated the SEC doing the same. Nice set of double standards we've got working there.

What false equivalence? Democrats can't stay out of your wallet and Republicans can't stay out of your bedroom.

That false equivalence. Republicans have spent much more of your money, and committed you to spend way more (in debt payments, in unfunded mandates, in catastrophic misadventures like wars and deregulation) than Democrats ever have. They continue to do so in their minority by obstructing government. And they invade your bedroom, too. Democrats are not at all equivalent, even if they do also waste your money - but not nearly the vast, crippling magnitude of Republicans.

That's real cute, linking to Google searches like that. Did you know that Barack Obama kicks puppies? It's true.

You give us just another Republican example of false equivalence. I linked to a simple Google search result that returned lots of verifiable sources, so you can read for yourself and see the facts - confirmed from many angles, and even with any defenses or contrary claims as published. What you linked to is a Google result list that is obviously unable to support any claim that Obama kicks puppies.

Thanks for perfectly confirming my point. You Republicans have wallowed in false equivalencies for so long, to the exclusion of any logic in favor of fallacies, that you can't even tell what it is. You just hear "Republican", and you shove out some package of nonsense about "Democrats, too!"

Fallacies. Republicans. You people never learn. But the rest of us have learned to spot your fallacies and reject them.

Whooo boy I got some news for you.

It is America's Taliban - go watch Jesus Camp and tell me otherwise.

You'll be worth talking to when you mature enough to realize that the Executive is only 1/3 of the Federal Government and only 1/2 of the part that decides how much money is going to be spent.
