Not only is this hilarious, but it's also one of the sanest things I've seen come out of the mouth of a Republican in recent memory.
SIMPSON: Who the hell is for abortion? I don’t know anybody running around with a sign that says, “Have an abortion! They’re wonderful!” They’re hideous, but they’re a deeply intimate and personal decision, and I don’t think men legislators should even vote on the issue.
Then you’ve got homosexuality, you’ve got Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. We have homophobes on our party. That’s disgusting to me. We’re all human beings. We’re all God’s children. Now if they’re going to get off on that stuff—Santorum has said some cruel things—cruel, cruel things—about homosexuals. Ask him about it; see if he attributes the cruelness of his remarks years ago. Foul.
Now if that’s the kind of guys that are going to be on my ticket, you know, it makes you sort out hard what Reagan said, you know, “Stick with your folks.” But, I’m not sticking with people who are homophobic, anti-women, moral values—while you’re diddling your secretary while you’re giving a speech on moral values? Come on, get off of it.
Of course he's absolutely right. People who are pro-choice are not pro-abortion. Men do not have any business telling women what to do with their bodies. And campaigning on family-values while you're "diddling" your secretary is not acceptable.
The problem is that none of the current Republican candidates are free of those mannerisms and I doubt you could find very many who are. The modern-day Republican party is neck-deep in hypocrisy, homophobia, and hate because of the marriage between conservatism and religious zealotry
By the way -- "diddling?"
