Thats where it sholud be no matter what you think of the issue. This is America after all ,Freedom rules . You have to have confidence in the people of your State to be decent God fearing people ,if they are not then at least you have the freedom to move to where they share your views . This is the very foundation of our country . Right now you have no choice what so ever because Washington has spoken and that is it.
I guess some people just want to be dictated to and be comfortable where they are ,but sometimes action has to be taken and I am with Fred on the states rights issues

Fred had a great line when talking about federalism on both abortion and gay marriage. It was to the effect that people, the legislature and governors of the states should have the right to make a decision even if Fred Thompson thinks it’s a bad idea.

Fundamental principles. It’s nice to find someone who has them and expresses them calmly, clearly and consistently.

You ARE a Player with a capital P!! WELL SAID!!! It's what I like best about Thompson and LEAST about the other candidates. Thompson is consistent and actually has a platform built on a philosophy rather than a list of positions on cherry-picked issues.
