What are Fred's Negatives?

Other than the standard; No fire in the belly, he got in too late, and the evil membership in the Council on Foreign Relations, what are his negatives?

For the record, I am a Fred Thompson supporter.

I think Fredheads are naive to believe Fred's transformation into a "100% true conservative" when he has the record of a Howard Baker-mentored moderate member of the centrist coalition along with the likes of Jim Jeffords, Olympia Snowe, Chuck Hagel and George Voinovich.

*snort* Yeah right, all those folks were always as consistent as Fred in their pro-life, and pro-2nd amendment votes and views.

What you Fredheads don't seem to understand is that Huckabee wants an amendment in addition to overturning Roe. Overturning Roe V. Wade will not stop a single abortion from happening. Every real pro-lifer understands that's why relying on overturning Roe V. Wade is not good enough.

We don't want to hear that our goals are impossible. We are not achieving our goal because people like Fred oppose our goal. People like Fred who join their voices with liberal abortionists to oppose pro-life legislation stand in our way. Fred doesn't support us, so we don't support him. That's just the way it is.

You mean like when Fred supported laws restricting political speech which were strongly opposed by the pro-life and pro-gun lobbies? Fred’s record is that he’s a consistent flip-flopper.
