Go, FRED!
I'm afraid the abortion genie is out of the bottle. It has become too accepted in this society. There will be some states that will allow abortion, some won't. But everyone will have had a say in the matter, which will make it a much more acceptable solution because they won't feel like today, where individuals don't really have a say in the matter.
Whether you realize it or not, your position assures the continued killing of thousands more unborn babies every day in America.
And you waiting for your pie in the sky solution does the same thing.

Poor Fred Now you’ve gone and done an awful thing, set off the chattering class of tin foil wearers to turn their rage against any group that might take money away from their white loafered, pantie wasted, Cadillac driving, opportunistic, Jim Jones wannabe churches.
Masons are good people and the back bone of why this country became so great.
but didn’t you see “National Treasure”?
Well, fact is, it’s still very early. We’ll see how it all comes out. In the meantime, I’ll just keep fighting for what I believe in.
Personally give me a good John Wayne or a Blazing Saddles for a fun movie night.
Insulting people who believe the same thing but have different ideas of how to get it accomplished isn’t really a productive tactic.
Only dated? Several women? Nice try. Fred behaved like men in their twenties and thirties, in his forties and fifties. After sleeping around with a number of women during that time period, he marries a woman young enough to be his daughter. Hardly a paragon of conservative social virtue, and a lousy example.
"I'm a middle aged woman and have no problem with him having a younger wife, especially since I know he didn't leave his first wife for her. In fact, there is some info that Fred's first wife might be willing to campaign for him. That tells me something important about the man.
Just as I would have a problem with a woman marrying a man young enough to be her son, I have a problem with a man marrying a woman young enough to be his daughter. The fact that his first wife is willing to campaign for him tells us nothing.
BTW, trophy wives can be the first woman you marry, they aren't necessarily women one marries after a divorce.
I wouldn't give a democrat a pass for this kind of personal history, and I won't give it to a Republican either, not in my teens, not in my forties and not ever.
Please tell your Mama and her friends that those pictures were taken at fancy dress events at which young women DO wear those kinds of dresses. Jeri Thompson is just a bit older than Jackie Kennedy was when she became First Lady, and the media fell all over themselves because she was so very stylish and was such a departure from what First Ladies had been to that point in time.
Since they are not yet on the campaign trail, there are not many pictures of them together recently. I'm sure that Jeri will show herself well during a campaign and will be very cognizant of her dress during that time. Please suggest your mother have another look after he's announced; I'm sure she'll see Jeri in a new light and with an appropriate wardrobe.
I agree with your entire post, wardaddy.
“Fred loves women...make no mistake.”
He sure does...and women love men who are gentlemen, which he is of the first order.
You and he have much in common...
greccogirl, I don’t think her age will make a difference in how folks view him.
Now, maybe some tabloids, like the DBM, will be snarky about it.
But, most people will not put that much weight on his wife’s age.
Betcha both she won’t be showing cleavage the next time we see her. ;o)
You are right.
I wish I had seen your post before my post above yours. ;o)
She’s been on the arm of a Hollywood star.
Now she will be on the arm of a Presidential candidate.
She will dress very conservatively from now on.
At this point in this country, a Human Life Amendment will never pass. There are too many who are too emotional about the issue from the view of not forcing young women to carry babies to term if they've been raped or are victims of incest, or whose babies have some sort of deformity. No, I don't agree with that. I think abortion should be outlawed for ANY reason, except if the mother is in danger of dying, for example, if she has a fallopian tube pregnancy. The baby has no chance of survival anyway, and the mother should be saved.
When Roe v Wade is overturned, the laws will revert to the States. Because we've learned so much more about the development of unborn children since Roe v Wade, I believe there will be the ability to enact many more restrictions at the State level than have been allowed at the Federal level.
Yes, there will still be unborn children who will, sadly, die, but I believe that number will be far fewer, and it will happen sooner, than if we tried to pass the HLA.
Well, I have to agree with you there, mom.
You can be as prudish as you like, but I daresay, most folks won’t hold his dating history against him, especially if he didn’t act like a boor with women. He wasn’t cheating on his wife, so that puts him in a different league with some of his colleagues in the Congress and Senate; some who might even be running for President.
He does consider it an issue for the states but I believe was trying to say he would be pro-choice in his state before Hannity cut him off.
I did not hear wrong. He said was an issue for the states AND was then in process of explaining that he would be pro-choice at his state level as Hannity cut him off. Listen again.
Your analysis would be correct if Fred had married a woman who wasn't young enough to be his daughter and we were talking about Fred's twenties and thirties. We're not.
What I am being is called honest, fair and consistent. The same standards for men and women, Democrats and Republicans alike.
The attempts people on a social conservative forum are making to give Fred a pass on this, is quite simply disgusting.
And as a Catholic woman, SuziQ, you know better.
You have proof he was sleeping with a number of women?
Please provide it.
