Thompson Pounces

Hard to conjure up that image but it's true. Thomspon sends out an e-mail blast taking issue with Romney's statement today on MTP that "every piece of legislation which came to my desk in the coming years as a Governor, I came down on the side of preserving the sanctity of life." The "fact check" includes this:

"Romney's health care legislation provides taxpayer-funded abortions for a co-pay of just $50. Romney vetoed EIGHT provisions in his health care bill that he deemed objectionable, including the expansion of dental benefits to Medicaid recipients. He did not veto Planned Parenthoods' guaranteed position on the Advisory Board or ensure that abortions were covered only in medically necessary situations (as required by MA court ruling). All abortions are covered in the Commonwealth Care program with no medically necessary limitation. Under the program, abortions are available for a copay of $50...

Romney included in his health care legislation a guarantee that Planned Parenthood would have a representative on his MassHealth Payment Policy Advisory Board. No such provision was included for a pro-life representative. ...

Romney forced private Catholic hospitals to provide the morning-after-pill, a position applauded by Democrats and pro-abortions groups. .."

Another ping!

All abortions are covered in the Commonwealth Care program [WillardCare] with no medically necessary limitation. Under the program, abortions are available for a copay of $50...

Bargain-basement infanticide. Thanks Willard!

The drive by media and FOX cannot keep ignouring Thompson indefinitly, truth will out through the internet and word of mouth. Fred will be our next President.

Romney questioned on his conservativism - ping

I need to be able to find this — at a moment’s notice.

Great to see Thompson pointing out these differences.

[Petronski]

The only conservatives in the race are Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter. God help us all if the GOP nominates anyone else.

From your link:

• Romney's health care legislation provides taxpayer-funded abortions for a co-pay of just $50.
  • Romney vetoed EIGHT provisions in his health care bill that he deemed objectionable, but he did not veto Planned Parenthoods' guaranteed position on the Advisory Board or ensure that abortions were covered only in medically necessary situations (as required by MA court ruling).  All abortions are covered in the Commonwealth Care program with no medically necessary limitation.

 

• Romney included in his health care legislation a guarantee that Planned Parenthood would have a representative on his MassHealth Payment Policy Advisory Board.  No such provision was included for a pro-life representative.

 

• Romney forced private Catholic hospitals to provide the morning-after-pill, a position applauded by Democrats and pro-abortions groups.

Romney is the biggest phony (as far as what his record shows) since Bill Clinton...well, I mean Al Gore, err, I mean John Kerry. Well you get the idea.

[JRochelle]

The Spectator blog is ripping Romney’s MTP appearance apart.
Lots of lies there.

Example:

Romney today said the NRA backed him in 2002. I think this is not correct. In 2002 he said in a debate with Shannon O’Brien “We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts; I support them. I won’t chip away at them; I believe they protect us and provide for our safety.” I found it hard to believe the NRA would support someone with that viewpoint. Indeed, the NRA grading sheet from 2002 shows no endorsement and gives both he and his opponent a “B” which is defined for a candidate hasn’t held office as someone “ who may have made some statements or taken positions against the NRA on some issues.” I have not received any response to my inquiry to the Romney camp on this.

Go get ‘im Fred! Romney’s a liberal, RINO anti-lifer, and I’m glad to see that FDT isn’t about to let Willard get away with lying about his record!

EVERY FREEPER IN THE COUNTRY should be RUTHLESSLY ATTACKING the leftmedia at every opportunity. The leftmedia credibilty should be so completely damaged beyond repair by the next election that the public wants to tear down their buildings!!!

Also today on MTP Romney said his views on guns haven’t changed since he was Gov of Ma.

Fred should hammer the liberal puke into the ground on that one!

[JRochelle]

Romney opposes “weapons of unusual lethality.”

Another whopper from this morning, he said when he said the Bush plan for amnesty was ‘reasonable’, he was only describing it, not endorsing it.

LOL.
