Looks like the faggots don’t like Fred either. Another check mark for him.

In case you didn’t catch that, we’re “the problem” in that scenario.
No you're not, you blockhead -- one state's forcing same-sex marriage on all the others is the problem.

I think we could use more gay-written, liberal articles like this one published all over mid-America. Fred’s the man!

This attack article is the single best endorsement of Fred that I have ever read!

I love Fred’s accent, and I’m from New England. I also like his slow speech. We talk too fast up here. Maybe it’s the cold.

Someone with a valid “Lucianne” ID should go post it over there.

I got kicked off some time ago (presumably because I openly scorned their chosen candidate, Guliani).

If everyone backing Fred gave $100 every time a columnist used the words "folksy" or "lazy" to describe Senator Thompson, he'd have more money than Hillary & Obama combined!!

Good post. One of the best ways to advocate for Fred, Rudy, or Mitt is to post moonbat articles like this that denounce the particular candidate.

I've said it before and I will say it again - NOTHING gets me more excited about candidates than pieces such as these written by the political opposition.

Reading some bought and sold true believer extol the intelligence and conservative credentials of a candidate is like listening to my own echo; reading some liberal douche's expose of how smart, right-wing, and effective a candidate would be - especially in derailing their own agenda - is like sweet sweet music.

Same story with liberal coverage of left-wing Republicans like Huckabee and Giuliani - when I start reading positive reviews on how "wonderful and moderate" certain candidates are ("for a Republican"), it sets off much louder alarms than, say, negativity from the pens of even my staunchest idealogical allies.

The author is a fag.

Fags hate Fred.

He must be doing something right.

You know, I’m not at all upset that FDT scares the crap out of the uber-libs...mainly because THEIR candidate - the shrill beast - scares the crap out of me.

I pray for FDT to be the standard-bearer. He’s 95% of Hunter, but he’s someone with name and face recognition who can raise money, and who isn’t afraid to say whatever he thinks needs to be said (i.e. he’s not PC). Also, the baldness, jowls and bags under his eyes show that he’s a real person, not some plastic everything-to-everyone type. The ordinary citizen can relate to people like him, because he IS them.

He did refuse to vote for a marriage amendment to the U.S. Constitution on federalist grounds, but he showed off those Matlock-like lawyerly wiles this week with an alternative proposal that is even scarier because it’s more likely to be adopted. Thompson has proposed an alternative amendment, constitutionalizing the part of the Defense of Marriage Act that allows one state to refuse legal recognition of marriage licenses issued by another state to same-sex couples.

Thompson's alternative is quite consistent with federalism. Dunno why that makes him duplicitous in the columnist's eyes.

If anyone gave a dollar every time that happened, that person would quickly reach his contribution limit.

That Southern charm may soften the appearance of the actor-senator’s hardened conservative views.

LOL! Get over it, degenerate whiners!
