"The Republican Presidential hopeful Fred Thompson, who is considered "progressive" on gay rights..."

Uh, Fredheads, you might want to correct these folks. If the PinkNews thinks Fred is progressive, that ain't gonna help

The Republican Presidential hopeful Fred Thompson, who is considered "progressive" on gay rights

Why do you continue to post this utter crap. Just because your candidate is at 0.00001% in the polls? Fred is a federalist who strongly believes in states rights. That is very conservative. Gee, imagine that, someone who believes in the Constitution.

Fred seems to have a penchant for sticking his foot in it.

I think once the source is considered, and the motives there of, it will all work out...

The problem with making gay marriage a state issue is that the Interstate Commerce Clause of the Constitution will be used to force states who do not choose to recognize gay marriage to recognize gay marriages performed in other states.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

In this case, notwithstanding the mis-use of "progressive" in this article to slant it, Fred is correct in that we don't need no stinkin' Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

We need to remove the ability of Judges to make law that doesn't exist.

Fred recommends that States can make their own laws, a true State's Rights issue, and stop legislating from the bench.

Amending the Constitution every time some ACLU-loving activist Judge commands something is NOT the way to go.

For the DuncanDonuts here, attacking on this issue is really weak.

Duncan Who?

Pink News is a newspaper for queers in the UK!

Do you read their articles often?

I’m a little surprised you would post this.

I am a FredHead and agree with Fred. If some states want gays to marry, let them. Just firewall the perversion off from the rest of the country.

You can’t legislate stupidity and shouldn’t use the Constitution to do it either.

Pissant, everyone here knows your method of attacks, and Jim has come close to banning you. And I really think it’s time he did so.

Wow! I can’t for the life of me figure out how giving (if you’ll excuse the pun) back door creedence to a moral perversion has been twisted around to be called a conservative position by some. Either my or their logic has gotten severly twisted. I don’t think it’s mine.

Sounds like since he’s not publicly proclaiming how terrible homosexual ‘marriage’ is, they think he’s ‘progressive’. They’re not listening that closely to what he’s truly saying, but, hey, if it means that they might actually VOTE for him, that would be fine by me! That’s fewer votes for Her Heinous!

Fred Thompson supports states allowing sexual perversion since he knocked up a girl at 16 and married a second wife half his age. He should know.

I reject that "compromise." I am not interested in compromise with evil. Its like being half-pregnant and can never work in the real world. When you give the Left an inch, they take everything. Thanks but no thanks.

Oh, I don't agree, Fred. I don't care what people do in private, and if anything is a matter of the pursuit of happiness the choice of a mate is,

But marriage is an institution that is the very basis of civilization, and it must be a union of one man and one woman.

Homosexual couples may enter into any agreement they wish, but marriage between two (or more) people of the same sex, of multiple people of any sex, or between humans and animals is out of the question.

This is not at the top of my agenda, and this in itself would not stop me from voting for Thompson, but I do not agree that same-sex marriage should be sanctioned by law.

If I am still on it, please take me off the Duncan Hunter ping list. I no longer want any association with his supporters.

The bigger issue is why Fred is even wasting his time on gay marriages and kissing the rings of Big Socon.

Start talking about limiting government and reforming the tax system, Fred. Start addressing Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security and our $9 trillion national debt. The social issues will take care of themselves. States have already taken the lead and banning them, even here in Wisconsinstan we banned homosexual marriage.

This is a legal ABSURDITY.

The judge will not rule on “marriage” the judge will rule on FULL FAITH AND CREDIT.

This is not a “compromise” this is EXACTLY what the homosexual groups want to impose homosexual marriage on the entire nation.

That is why Hawaii courts, Vermont’s civil unions, and Massachusetts outright imposition were all about.

Not even a pre=law student would be allowed to say something this stupid. A constitutional law student in their first year of law school would be flunked out for something this absurd. (here is a dime, call your parents to pick you up stupid)

They seems to have omitted the core points of Fred’s views:

The federal government will not recognize gay marriages.

States will not be forced to recognize gay marriages.
