“But why are you so focused on statements made when his voting record and current statements say otherwise?”
Ummm... maybe because I’M NOT A FREDBOT! Past statements by Fred Thompson actually matter to me because I am not obsessed with promoting Fred! All of your hysteria can not hide the simple fact that this quote WILL matter to people who are undecided.
But you're obsessed with tearing him down though.

There's no hysteria, just disbelief that one would say that Fred is pro-abortion over a libertarian statement a long time ago that has been made irrelevant by his voting record and subsequent pro-life statements.
Look; I agree that the idea of there being a rule where you can’t criticize a candidate is pretty crappy. But if you want to criticize Fred Thompson, abortion isn’t the issue to point at.
Instead, we can be talking about trade policy. Duncan Hunter is against having American jobs go overseas so that China can be wealthy enough to buy submarines. And on illegal immigration, Fred Thompson has supported increases in foreign farm workers and increases in US visas, which cost American workers, especially highly skilled and educated Americans, their jobs.
On abortion, though; I’m sorry to say but I think Thompson’s pretty solid.
