WASHINGTON - House Republicans intend to hold votes this summer and fall touching on abortion, guns, religion and other priority issues for social conservatives, part of an attempt to improve the party's prospects in the midterm elections.

The "American Values Agenda" also includes a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage — which already has failed in the Senate — a prohibition on human cloning and possibly votes on several popular tax cuts.

"Radical courts have attempted to gut our religious freedom and redefine the value system on which America was built. We hope to restore some of those basic values through passing this legislative agenda and renewing our country's commitment to faith, freedom and life," Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said Tuesday.

1. hastert had to rehearse his lines so he wouldn't laugh when spewing them

Their base makes it so easy to say such nonsense. "Gut" religious freedom? And what value system was America built? These guys are a fucking riot.

2. The GOP "Values" agenda is really a "Hate" agenda

Republicans hate women, so don't them control their own bodies.

Republicans hate gay people, so don't let them marry.

Republicans hate black people, so don't let them vote.

Republicans hate all living things, so don't do anything to limit the weapons that kill life.

They value hate.
