Here’s what former GOP Representative Alan Simpson had to say about Santorum:
“He is rigid and a homophobic,” Simpson, a Mitt Romney supporter, said. “He said, ‘I want a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage,’ and they said, ‘Well, what about the people who are already married?’ And he said, ‘Well, they would be nullified.’ I mean what is, what’s human, what’s kind about that? We’re all human beings, we all know or love somebody who’s gay or lesbian so what the hell is that about? To me it’s startling and borders on disgust.”

The quote that has been flying around the internet this past week: If you want a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage, you are admitting the Constitution already allows it.
“you are admitting the Constitution already allows it. ”
Well not really. They are saying that they want to stop all the states from acting independently on the question.
Which seems to go totally against the grain of tonight’s debate…that they wanted to push all of the responsibility for social issues back down to the states.
Bachman and Santorum should join forces. They could be Bachman Santorum Overdrive.
Love it!
Who knew Alan Simpson could so easily immitate a human emotion?
