I understand where Fred is coming from, this was a tricky question and he gave a rather safe answer. One does not have to a opinion on all issues, considering his position of similar issues(euthanasia, abortion) is well known.
Starve or not starve,that is the question.
But not to worry — as one person who is obviously a Fredhead posted on a site regarding FT opposing an amendment to ban gay marriage:
“Daniel writes: GO FRED! Who cares what Fred believes?
He’s the great conservative hope.
He’s hound-dog mean. He’s got southern character and big-city northeast smarts. He’s been a tough DA in New York City. We’ve all seen how he runs that office. Just watch when he gets his hands on the terrorists.”
With all due respect to my friends on FR, I suspect there are a lot of folks out there that are confusing reality with fantasy.
Or was Fred Thompson really a DA in New York City?
I don't know -- I've never watched Law & Order.
Anyway, he's such a hero, he can be forgiven anything!!
