One hand: I agree with everything Bauer is quoted as saying.
Other hand: I respect Dobson much more highly than Bauer.

Ah but this is a re-hash with 'punch'...
It's a drive-by with Gary Bauer spouting off.

It will be interesting to see if something like that were to occur, but I doubt they’d support them...
Now FDT, with his excellent voting record and high marks from national Right to life is worthy of support, wouldn’t you agree......

I never figured FReepers would stoop to cheap, dishonest theatrical tricks in place of real arguments, either. Like what? My statement is 100% true and pertinent to the fact that I've never believed that a candidate who is even agnostic on the issue of abortion would ever stand a chance of being nominated by the Republican Party, much less someone who lobbied on behalf of the abortion industry.

Gary Bauer. The guy who endorsed McCain in 2000 when he withdrew from the race.
No surprises here.

I’ve seen stories about Newt supporting Fred, too.
Something along the lines of “if Fred doesn’t get in, then I will.”

Then you must like Fred who not only isn’t agnostic on the issue of abortion (100% pro-life voting record, 100% score from the National Right to Life, 0% score from NARAL), but also didn’t lobby for the abortion industry (as you know because the billing records were posted here.)

Post #19 wasn’t mine. So perhaps you should have pinged mnehrling instead.
Now as far as what I said, it is well known that Dobson brought Newt on to his show for a big confession and forgiveness session as the first step towards running for president.
And personally, I don’t care if you take exception to what I said about Dobson making himself irrelevant.
He’s the one that did it to himself.
And he did it as a cold political calculation.
He knows that if Gingrich gets elected, he will have enormous sway with his administration for making him acceptable to evangelicals.
The whole thing is a big power play by Dobson, and it’s going to massively backfire on him.
Gut check time. You know I’m right.

There are no good judges anymore.
To repair the damage done by judges the other branches of government must regain their balance.
Waiting for “good judges” is hopeless - the universities are only producing feminist lawyers.
We need a new plan or we won’t survive.

That'll pull in about 10 votes for Thompson.
Now Jack Bauer... that'd help Thompson. LOL!

There are no good judges anymore. I believe you are wrong on this. I would bet that 90% of judges are good, but the 90% that are good don't make news. The 10% of judges who make radical decisions are the ones who are making news. It is the whole car-wreck/media analogy. You never hear news stories of the tens of thousands of cars that don't get in an accident each day, only the one car that does.

Dr. Dobson would never support Newt for President. James Dobson as “FOUCUS ON THE FAMILY”.
To: ejonesie22
Now FDT, with his excellent voting record and high marks from national Right to life is worthy of support, wouldnt you agree...... That could depend on how crucial his votes were. Was he actively pushing Pro-Life legislation or was he casting expedient votes to maintain his political career and prevent being tarred and feathered by his constituents. His history on the subject warrants a little cynicism.
It still remains that the only men I've ever heard of who have had a mid-life change of heart going from pro-abortion to pro-life are Republican politicians who want to be President.

I know that you are delusional!
Dobson had Newt on his show, but there was nothing at all to suggest that he (Dobson) wanted Newt to run for President, or that he would give him any support. In your own words, “you know I’m right”.

Yes, this Gary Bauer (oops):

Email from the National Right to Life Committee (Fred alert!)
National Right to Life Committee | July 8, 2007 | Karen Cross

It appears that there is an attempt to create confusion regarding former Senator Fred Thompson’s pro-life position.
You can go to National Right to Life’s website to see Senator Thompson’s voting record against abortion, euthanasia, and experimentation on unborn babies’ bodies. As you can see, Senator Thompson had an excellent pro-life voting record while in the U.S. Senate.
I am concerned that someone may be misleading you about his record. Regardless, I assure you it was not from National Right to Life. National Right to Life PAC supported Senator Thompson for the U.S. Senate in 1994 and 1996, and considered him to be a very pro-life Senator.
Senator Thompson has since reaffirmed his pro-life position. I am attaching a link to the statement he made to the National Right to Life Convention:
Fred Thompson’s statement to the National Right to Life Convention
Thank you for your interest and concern on this critical issue.
Sincerely,
Karen Cross
Political Director

90% of judges are good I see no evidence of that.
