I was asked by another poster for another source, I posted it here:

Then we can worry about being brought together with Democrats.
I don't see anyplace in the article that Thompson mentions being "brought together" with Democrats.

And what kind of response would you like to YOUR question of, "

? What answer would make you happy? I'll just stick to posting echinodermatas to you. Cause, you really don't care what anyone has to say. You just want the opportunity to insult and attack.

Let's observe the pointy poisoneous sea urchin:

LOL! First you give a meaningless non-response, then you post pictures of beautiful sea creatures. Tripping out???

[rednesss]

I think I've found the solution to you.

Fred’s conservative record against abortion needs no shielding, pissant.

And no revisions, either. His love for children, family, and protecting future generations is clear and frequently reiterated.

You dislike him for not being Duncan.
I like him for standing up for principle in the face of hateful opposition every single day.

[pissant]

That is pretty funny, I must say. LOL

[pissant]

I actually do not dislike Fred. I put him in the Dole/Baker/McCain wing though. Not the Reagan/Helms/Hunter wing of the party.

[Clara Lou]

I put him in the Dole/Baker/McCain wing though.
But... but... you assured us that FRed was your #2 choice after Duncan Hunter. You told us that over and over this past summer. And, since Hunter's getting ready to fold, I know that FDT can count on your vote.

[pissant]

Actually, he’s tied with Tanc for #2. But it is a substantial dropoff from #1.

[Clara Lou]

Tanc is going the way of Hunter.

Whom do you think he meant, then?

[b9]

I put Fred in the oval office “wing.” “;^)

[Clara Lou]

LOL! Good one!

Gee Sturm, I guess principled votes doesn't count on this issue, eh? Fred has a what, 99 percent pro-life rating in the Senate?

While Fred Thompson is certainly pro-life, his ratings in the Senate weren't as high as some would like to say they were. His ratings, according to Project Vote Smart's list of his ratings from the National Right to Life Committee, are:

• 1996 86%
• 1997 83%
• 1998 87%
• 1999 75%
• 2000 77%

And according to National Right to Life Committee's own ratings:

• 105th Congress 87%
• 106th Congress 78%
• 107th Congress 33%

If you average the ratings reported by Project Vote Smart, you get only an 81.6% pro-life rating.

If you average the ratings reported directly by the National Right to Life Commitee, you get only a 66% rating.

I will congratulate you if you guys pull it off.

Of course not!
