Grampa Fred on civil union: Eh.. Soviet Union?

As the Nyquil turns... Time for a nap for Fred..

From Yahoo News:

Edward Paul, an employee of the Delta Dental Plans Association, asked the question Monday, but had trouble being understood.

"I'm proud to say that in January 2008 New Hampshire has passed a law facilitating civil unions here. ... What is your belief for federal civil unions to be passed?" Paul asked.

"Soviet Union?" Thompson responded.

"No, civil unions," Paul said.

"Oh. No, I would not be in support of that," Thompson said.

Paul said he wasn't surprised, or impressed.

"I think he needs to do more homework on whatever state he's in and I don't think he did on that question," said Paul. He said he is a registered independent who plans to vote in the Democratic presidential primary.

Thompson's campaign has said the candidate would let states decide whether to sanction civil unions. He has supported federal action to protect states from having to recognize gay marriages performed in other states. As a Tennessee senator, he voted against legislation to prohibit job discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Was that Ross Perot's VP candidate who went to the debate and asked, "Who am I, what am I doing here?"

Thompson is not far from that. Is he unprepared, senile, stupid, or a combination of the three?

From the other posting--For those of you who think you will win a car, Kittybowtie's pension courtesy of Baloneybitch, would be enough to pay for a Matchbox car, or maybe the one Mr. Potato Head drives.

Mr. Kitty I have no interest in Baloney it isn't spelled like the lunchmeat. Now to business I want my car if I win. NO boxcar or what ever. Don't let me come to find you I know alot of cats I saw the broadway play.

Grandpop Thompson is losing it and it's showing more and more everytime he speaks. He's becoming a joke and making a fool of himself.

Can we hire those cats to replace the clowns that we have in the White House? I swear those cats have more sense than the nimrods that have been occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The Moscow Cat Circus cats can be trained. That makes them smarter than the Gerbil.
