Oh, Spider, that’s SO pre-9/11 thinking.

Now, I know it’s been awhile since we’ve had a three-branch system of government in this country, but if I’m not mistaken Fred Thompson can’t simply “overturn” Roe V. Wade. Besides the fact that there’s a much longer process to do so, it’s not within his powers to overturn laws willy-nilly.

Actually, he didn’t say he would ban abortion. He said he would overturn Roe vs. Wade as bad law and bad medicine, based on his working theory of Federalism. However, he has stated repeated that any laws regarding abortion lay within the purview of the state governments, and he would not push any laws to overthrow that right.

I suggest you be careful with your statements.

Fries or cole slaw? Yes. I say go for it, Fred. Run with that. Hell, maybe in your constitutional amendment banning gays from being as miserable as the rest of us, er, I mean married, you can add that they and all other sexual deviants (pedophiles, bestiality lovers, Republicans) have to identify themselves somehow. Like maybe with a, oh i dunno, an armband of some sort.

Freddy showed up to the Iowa Fair in $400 shoes–Gucci’s, and rode around in a golf cart, when the other candidates walked.

Having said that, Freddy doesn’t seem too clear on what he proposes to do that goes against the grain of most of the American people.

You choose.

Why? Can’t it be both?
