A San Antonio judge announced Monday that he is leaving the Republican Party, citing the GOP's "pettiness and bigotry" toward the gay community. In a YouTube video announcing his reelection bid, Judge Carlo Key said the GOP is "at war with itself." "Make no mistake: I have not left the Republican Party. It left me," Key said. "I cannot tolerate a political party that demeans Texans based on their sexual orientation, the color of their skin or their economic status." Key will instead run as a Democrat. Key, a court-at-law judge for Texas' Bexar County, referenced San Antonio councilwoman Elisa Chan, who was caught on tape earlier this year describing homosexuality as "disgusting to even think about." "I will not be a member of a party in which hate speech elevates candidates for higher office rather than disqualifying them," he said.

Rescission because someone got sick has been illegal for 15 years. More dreaming. It was illegal but they did it. And if you had a medical problem they'd deny you coverage...legally. "In the spirit of the recently passed health reform legislation, UnitedHealthcare moved quickly to eliminate the practice of rescission, except in cases of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of material fact," UnitedHealthcare President Gail Boudreaux said in a statement, according to Reuters. cbsnews.com Al
