This Idea Will Totally Work!

Filed in National by on April 19, 2011

A delegate to the Utah Republicans convention has an interesting proposal:

They also have a delegate who wants it made clear that sex is only acceptable when it takes place between a married man and woman. David Baxter wants the party platform to include that the “God-given sexual power is to be used only between a husband and wife.” He believes this will rule out any possibility of adultery, sodomy or fornication.

This could totally work! Just like prohibition stopped people from drinking, outlawing sex will stop people from having it. What a great idea!

    I assume that also means that if the election is between Obama and( Gingrich, or Trump, or Palin,(they would have to support Obama because he has been faithful to his spouse.

    This isn’t the Republican idea, it’s their endgame. All their talk leads to this outcome.

    Republican Sharia is coming to git-cha!!

  4. cassandra_m says:

    These Republicans need to go first on this kind of thing — provide clear and abiding proof that forbidding sex between unmarried people works.

    They’ve got their work cut out for them with Newtie.

  5. socialistic ben says:

    well, nobody anywhere smokes pot illegally, so the same will totally work with sex

  6. Free Market Democrat says:

    This will work to the same degree as the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 (a multilateral treaty signed by all the Great Powers of the time) worked in making war an illegal tool of statescraft (see: WWII, et al).

  7. Don says:

    One would assume there will be exemptions for republicans’ mistresses, airport bathroom stall sex, and politically funded S&M club visits.

  8. jason330 says:

    Don comes through with the comment I wish I had written. Props.

  9. good one says:

    oh then we can hand out condoms to 11 year olds too…

  10. reis says:

    When the delegate says “married”, does he mean to each other?

  11. Heh, reis, I was wondering that myself.

    I want to quote this, but you didn’t provide a link. I’ve watched too many right-wingers fall for satire and think a piece in the Onion or the Borowitz Report is factual. So, please, a link, because — if true — this is delightful.
