After reading Fred Thompson’s legal intrepretation as well as Rudy Giuliani’s legal intrepretation, how are those intrepretations of abortion different? Giuliani has already defined the type of SC Justice he would nominate. And he hasn’t changed his own personal beliefs unlike some candidates. As far as I’m concerned William Kristol and his cabal of media pundits can go to hell along with McCain.

Rudy’s NARAL rating————100%
Fred thompson’s NARAL rating———0%
Nuff said.
Let’s look at what’s going on while Fred’s “mulling” his decision.
Rudy’s had a miserable last two weeks/month. He’s had the revelation of the six Planned Parenthood donations which effectively nixed his attempt to be seen as at least neutral on the abortion question. It’s gone so badly that apparently he’s decided to go ALL IN WITH A 2-7 OFFSUIT and proclaim proudly his support for the pro-choice position effectively ruining him with the base. His candidacy is imploding.
Mitt Romney, despite his 1st Quarter fundraising, is still mired in forth or fifth place (7% and 5th in the latest Marist poll) and had the revelation of his own/wife’s donation from their JOINT CHECKING ACCOUNT to the primary supporter of infanticide——a fact that will only increase suspicion of him as a johnny-come-lately “conservative” and a political chamelon only too ready to say anything to anybody to get their vote.
McCain? Well he doesn’t appear to be going anywhere, up or down but he’s done little to increase his appeal outside of his hard core support.
Seems to me that Fred’s playing this about right. Letting Romney and Giuliani’s campaign’s self-destruct while he remains above the fray and continues to introduce himself with position papers, speeches and essays that strengthen his bona fides with the party’s base.
True, he can’t wait forever but I believe he’s playing this one out just about right.
Fred says Roe is bad law. Rudy has praised Roe.
Giuliani has already defined the type of SC Justice he would nominate.
He said he'd nominate strict constructionists. But twice he says a strict constructionist could uphold Roe as precedent. Which turns the concept on its ear.
Rudy is telling us that he's pro-abort. Loud and clear. You just don't want to hear it.
