Flashback: Rick Perry Supports Criminalizing Gay Sex | Mother Jones

So what exactly has Perry done? Well, for one, he is (still) a supporter of the Texas "homosexual conduct" statute, an archaic law that made it a crime for two consenting, unrelated adults to have sex if they were of the same gender. The law was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the landmark 2002 case Lawrence v. Texas, but, despite repeated efforts, Texas has yet to formally repeal the statute. When Perry was asked about the Lawrence case in 2002, he defended the anti-sodomy statute: "I think our law is appropriate that we have on the books." He wrote about the case in his 2011 book Fed Up, too, citing the Lawrence decision as the product of "nine oligarchs in robes" and an example of what's wrong with our judicial system. And last spring, when Perry ran for his third full term as governor, he did so on a state GOP platform that exlicitly stated "we oppose the legalization of sodomy."

That doesn't sound like "Small Government" Conservatism to me.

A definite mark against him in my book.

It's why I only quoted the relevant facts of the article. If you have evidence that shows otherwise, feel free to give it.

If you like Elvis, I can provide evidence from other websites.

This is just shocking !

Earlier today, one of the village idiots of USMB was reporting that Rick Perry was earlier involved in the porn industry !

What's tomorrow - Michelle Bachmann gave birth to an alien?

Not sure why this is even relevant. Like Obama's hideous record on abortion isn't relevant since the Supreme Court ruled late term abortions aren't allowed.

If it came down to Obama and Perry....I still would have to vote for Perry. We all know what Obama is capable of.

I think this is enough.

more so, even, than Rep. Michele Bachmann, who once feared that the Lion King would corrupt children because its soundtrack was created by Elton John.

WTF?

Any voter, of ANY party, who decides their vote on a single issue, is a moron.
