“I’m a Republican libertatian,” Simpson says. “The party’s basic core is, government out of your life and the right to be left alone.”

Fixed it.

Or are they one and the same?

[Izzy Dunne]

if you love someone and you want to marry them, marry them,”

Michelle Malkin, here I come!

[skeeter]

Go back to sleep Alan. The homos haven't used the 'live and let live' canard for decades.

They're far beyond that and well into 'kiss our *ss or we'll throw you and your family out into the street, breeder' territory now.

From Wikipedia bio: “In 2001, Simpson became Honorary Chairman of the Republican Unity Coalition (RUC), a gay/straight alliance within the Republican Party.”

In other words, he’s been a gay activist for many years. Probably did his share of foot tapping in men’s restrooms during his political career.

“if you love someone and you want to marry them, marry them”

Mommy? Puppy? Cheesecake? Spaghetti Westerns? Love them all dearly.

Freedom to Marry? I didn’t know marriage was illegal. Should I let my youngest son marry his wagon? States got different ages for marriage, so if a 15 year old married an 18 year old is that pedophilia? Some states can let you marry at 15.

'basic core' of the GOP is to get 'government out of your life.

Then stop the government from trying to define marriage. Give to Caesar that which is Caesar's and give to God that which is God's.

The homos haven't used the 'live and let live' canard for decades.

Great point! Has Simpson hear of Mozilla?

““live and let live” approach to same-sex marriage”

You mean like the tolerance shown to Brendan Eich?

[Viennacon]

Total fraud. Not a Republican.

[ken5050]

I like cheesecake..

[catfish1957]

30 years ago this guy was a pretty decent conservative.

Dementia's a bitch a'int it?

"Total fraud. Not a Republican."

From the best I can tell, Alan Simpson is a 'John McCain' Republican. That, or the only time the media ever pays attention to him is when he doesn't tow the party line. Hell, what IS the 'party line' anymore? If someone asked me what a "Republican" is, I honestly wouldn't know what to tell them or have a good answer.

The west has always been very libertarian—too libertarian in my opinion.

[N. Theknow]

“I’m a Republican,” Simpson says. “The party’s basic core is, government out of your life and the right to be left alone.”

And not force you to accept things that are disgusting, perverse and against all of your moral standards as a Christian.

[dfwgator]

“I’m a Republican,” Simpson says.

Sadly, he's right....This is the Republican Party today. GOP stands for "Gay Old Party."

[SoFloFreeper]

If this isn’t the government’s business, why is the pro-sodomy Simpson insisting the government force sodomy down our throats?

[MNnice]

I always thought he was a little squirrely.

[BarnacleCenturion]

“If this isn’t the government’s business”

Exactly. Government should just stay out. Perverts will still be perverts whether gay marriage is legal or not. The debate over this issue is a waste of time.
