Former Ronald Reagan Aide Airs 2012 Presidential Ad

The guy's got guts, I'll give him that! I feel sorry for him because the extreme righties, especially in Iowa, will attack him personally something terrible, I'm afraid. I KNOW all Republicans aren't homophobic but it seems like the current crop of them who are trying to take over sure are. One good thing may come out of his running and that's that the country will be able to see just how extreme and intolerant some of the Republican hopefuls really are. Annie

Well I wish these gay republicans like GOProud and the log cabin republicans would simply join up with the libertarian party, but I suppose I can understand that if you want to get real recognition on a national level you often have to sell out and run as one of those two. Most people can't even name 2 candidates that ran for president in 2008 besides Obama and McCain even though some states, like Florida, had 13 people on the ballot. As for his stances on the issues, I agree with some, not so much with others. He wants to lower the voting age to 16. I think that's a pretty horrible idea. They're not even allowed to drive a car in some states. Besides, once you lower a voting age people start wanting drinking ages and everything else lowered. It's just a bad idea. He also wants to make gay marriage the "law of the land". That is simply unconstitutional as marriage must be dealt with at the state and local level. Unless he's planning a constitutional amendment, that would be just as unconstitutional as DOMA. Still, I'm glad he's running as the first openly gay candidate in a major party. It should get some nice attention.
