He didn't marry her. The question is, was she HOT???

"Unless, that is, he has changed his mind, as suggested by his current self-description as a pro-lifer."

I'm pro-life to a specific point. Science is solving that problem for everyone. If a lower tubular pregnancy will kill the mother, OK. If a deformed baby will have a terrible life, OK. Those are rare things.

I suggest every pregnant woman should have an ultrasound between 18 and 20 weeks and watch on the crt what is growing up inside of her. Its very clear. I had a physical a few years ago and saw the inside of my aeorta and all the little valves around my heart. The surgeon stepped out and I asked the nurse to stick the probe on my stomache to see what it's doing for a second (I was hungry). I could operate that analyzer because I watched everything!

If a deformed baby will have a terrible life, OK.

We part ways there. Playing God is what got us to where we are.

Whatever happened to Fred Grandy?

His ship has already sailed.

If J.C. Watts were in the race as Vice-President, I would expect a Thompson/Watts ticket would be unstoppable and all others would fade from memory. (Rudy who? Mitt what? Hillary?....isn't she still in jail ...)

[RipSawyer]

He's a Howard Baker conservative.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

He reminds me more of Joe Don Baker.

[68 grunt]

Fred Thompson/J.C. Watts would really energize me! ...

Cool idea.
