Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson reiterated his anti-gay marriage policy today.
Rather than flat out banning gay marriage, the federalism loving Thompson (pictured, looking sinister) simply wants to make sure judges don’t make legislative decisions. And, what’s more, he claims social conservatives – not including James Dobson – agree with him.
Everyone I have talked to in my meetings like this, the answer has been yes. I think they prefer their own wording. They are primarily concerned about marriage being a union between a man and a woman.
…
What I have done is fashion something that says judges can’t do that any more. It’ll stop the process in its tracks because it’s all judge-made. No state legislature accompanied by a governor’s signature has gone down that road.
Yeah! Our nation’s courts should just stay out of the equality debate. They’re obviously aren’t qualified to interpret constitutional law or anything…

A translation: “Just to reiterate, I’m an asshole. That is all.”

Right. Like desegregation and voting rights and silly stuff like that would’ve happened if the issue was just left up to the states and the courts kept out of it. “Asshole” is putting it mildly.

Clearly all the gay stylists, lighting directors, and photographers are taking revenge on our behalf.

You got a point, mozzer! Of course it helps to live on bourbon and Doritos. You don’t get those looks by having good habits. Dude ain’t even so old.

Freddy Thompson, (his legal, given name) is a Reagan wannabe. Reagan was already afflicted with a virulent form of Alzheimers before he became President in 1980 and went downhill from there. Freddy doesn’t even have that excuse for his caveman politics.
(With apologies to Neanderthals’ and Cro-Magnons everywhere.)

Senator Fred Thompson is the only major candidate that gets it. He makes decisions based on principles. Principles don’t change. You have to stand for something and not change who you are based on the polls. That is what Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani have done and all of the Democrats do it. Give me a leader that will stand by his principles anyday versus someone that stands for everything.
I know many, many Republicans that will stay home if Rudy Giuliani is the candidate. He does not represent our values as Conservatives, and never will. Mitt Romney is a RINO (though a very nice man) that simply has everything else and nothing to do. “I guess I’ll just try to buy the presidencyâ€. Conservatives will simply stay home and the Democrats will pick up additional seats in the House and probably get the 60 seats in the Senate they need to completely destroy our Country. Nice picture huh?
However, I think Fred can bring America back together, if that’s even possible. America needs a rebirth of patriotism and honor. Republicans also need a rebirth. President Reagan was our last rebirth and he can never be duplicated. Fred Thompson will bring his own down-to-earth common sense to this Country and strength back to our party. A little of the good old days of faith and family would do well for this Country. If a Conservative runs as a Conservative, he will win!
Think of it this way: Eight years of another Clinton White House? Now if that is not a sufficient enough reason to pull together as a party, as a Country, and fight this socialist liberal takeover of our government, what is? It is not impossible to take back the House and the Senate. We are winning in Iraq—they know it. The best they can do now is stop our progress and choose defeat, just like they did during Vietnam. We lost because Congress chose defeat. History repeats itself when not learned from.
Folks, we are in for the fight of our lives, just as our young men and women are fighting for our freedoms in Iraq and Afghanistan, we must fight for our Country right here and now! I truly believe Fred Thompson is the one man who can pull this party and nation back together! Rudy Giuliani will just tear us apart as a party. Liberal is liberal every day of the week.
Really tick off the leftist democrats and contribute to Fred Thompson: https://www.fred08.com/contribute.aspx?RefererID=c637caaa-315c-4b4c-9967-08d864cd0791

Alan, are you sure you’re not a Ron Paultard?

Apparently, Fred Thompson has the same problem with the Constitution that the current President has. The founding fathers created three separate but equal branches. To propose a law that limits one of the independent branches from doing its job is not only a breach of this separation of powers but any such law would in itself be unconstitutional. Then it would take years to undo it so a lot of damage could be done in that period of time.

Alan, have you found your way from the homocon’s gaypatriot.org web site?
