"The 100% in his voting worries me a little too."

What it means is that Thompson is more reliably pro-life than even Reagan, who signed one of the nation's most liberal abortion legislation as Governor.

(100%) “In his voting” seems an unnecessary qualification. Particularly in FDT’s case, I’d rather hear that he’s 100% pro-life, period.
Why particularly in his case? Because he is a champion of federalism and those votes were cast when he was a senator from Tennessee. Was he voting that way because he wanted to represent Tennessee, or because he was pro-life in his convictions?
Also, his votes may only reflect his decisions about specific bills.
That said, Thompson and Hunter are the only 2 candidates running, whom I might vote for, but I need to hear more. About pro-life issues (abortion and euthanasia) first of all, but also about the North American Union, the UNCLOS treaty, and how to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions, to name a few.
After much reading I still don’t know where FDT stands on these things.
