And I'm for the rights of everybody, including gays, but not any special rights.
WALLACE: So, gay marriage? You're against.
THOMPSON: Yes. You know, marriage is between a man and a woman, and I don't believe judges ought to come along and change that.
WALLACE: What about civil unions?
THOMPSON: I think that that ought to be left up to the states. I personally do not think that that is a good idea, but I believe in many of these cases where there's real dispute in the country, these things are not going to be ever resolved.
,b>People are going to have different ideas. That's why we have states. We ought to give great leeway to states and not have the federal government and not have the Supreme Court of the United States making social policy that's contrary to the traditions of this country and changing that overnight. And that's what's happened in a lot of these areas.
I fail to understand this bruhaha over thompson. Nobody knows who he is, i dont know what this notion of 'star' power is. Most people who watch tv rarely know the names of actors unless there big.
Even so, what the hell is so appealing about thompson? He's just a senator with an okay acu rating(86). He's never held an executive position.
have we already forgot the rule, that senators rarely are elected president?
