NYC Mayoral Debate: Bloomberg vs Thompson on Obama and Gay Rights

[vran228]

No. YES! Lol. Ah man. We need a dictator. Period. Just one person to make the rules and the rest of us can just take it or die. Im so thru with politics and the world having an opinion on everything. Especially those which try to justify corrupt politics with the religious foundations this country was founded on. I can't imagine what our forefathers would say. Oh, right. They're dead. As are their politics. Next! And for the record, Thompson is right. 9 months and still report cards. C'mon.

Move to China and shut the fuck up.

it would take only a moment for President Obama to pick up the phone and tell Sec. Gates "As Commander and Chief, I am instructing you to cease all dont-ask-dont-tell related firing while the congress disposes of legislation."

Bloomberg is right, not enough has been done by Obama.

Lord have Mercy, I cant believe they asked that question.

Maybe because Bloomberg is Gay. Thats also why he feels that Obama didnt do enough for gays in his only 9 months as president. DAMN!

[zhippie]

one of the dumbest responses thompson could've given. question: has obama done ENOUGH for gays? his answer: YES . . . he's done enough, move on, they've gotten all they need, he's done enough!

Winner: Bloomberg.

While Obama has made lots of great speeches, he's done very little actually for LGBT rights, when compared to what he actually could have done quickly and easily.
