Former Senator Alan Simpson had some choice words for his one time colleague, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.
"I know Santorum, I served with him," he said. "He is rigid and a homophobic. He believes that gays and lesbians, he mentioned in an interview in 2003, about bestiality, and gays and lesbians. I think that's disgusting," said Simpson.
The former three-term Senator from Wyoming has always been known for both his candor and his ability to work across party lines, said Republicans are hurting themselves by focusing on social issues.
"Here's a party that believes in government out of your life, the precious right of privacy and the right to be left alone. How then can they be the hypocrisy of fiddling around in these social issues? We won't have a prayer," he told Bob Schieffer in an interview for CBS News's Face to Face, a weekly web interview from the staff of Face the Nation....

Hey Alan,
Do you know the difference between “fear” and “disgust”?
What’s Latin for “disgust”?
If Sodom and Gomorrah had been ‘homophobic’; they might have lasted a lot longer than they did...
I am not a supporter of Santorum, but the last guy I want to hear from on anything is Simpson.
Good riddance to worthless rubbish like Simpson.
Alan Simpson is a nasty, bitter old egomaniac whose best friend in the Senate was Dead Ted Kennedy.
The two vicious hypocrites were made for each other.
The fact is that Simpson’s father made his name by opposing the ‘64 Civil Rights Bill, and exposed himself for the Yellow Dog racist he was.
Like many others before and after him (Joe Scarborough is a current example) little boy Alan has never gotten over his shame and self-loathing and his loathing for the Republicans who knew in fact the stuff that he and his family were made of.
Scoundrel!
Isn't that the truth! I still can't comprehend how someone who posts on FR can believe this crap!
Bye, retread pinko.

'Former Wyoming Sentator a RINO MORON', ExCTCitizen says..

Wow, you can work across the aisle to SCREW AMERICA. Isn't that what you did? "Here's a party that believes in government out of your life, the precious right of privacy and the right to be left alone. How then can they be the hypocrisy of fiddling around in these social issues? We won't have a prayer,"
We won't have a prayer if Mitt our candidate. No more RINOS...
I’m about Simpson’s age. I did my time in WWII. I never was especially in awe of any politician because most of them are big talkers who like to lord it over others who want to be just ordinary citizens and they do convince enough people they are much wiser. The last few times I’ve seen and heard Simpson on TV he has shown my skepticism to be warranted.
