Somehow, the republican gay community Log Cabin Republicans seems to differ with your opinion about Mitt and gays, as they too are running ads about what they say Mitt used to say because they are upset that he hasn’t lived up to their interpretation of what they heard him say.
Your characterization of Mitt is so totally off that it is hard to imagine you actually could believe what you are writing.
It’s not like Fred Thompson has been working in the pro-life movement his entire life. Or even an entire day.
Seriously, I know he’s voted right, and I admire that, but point to ONE paragraph he wrote or said before he started talking about running for President that demonstrates he was “at one with” the pro-life, anti-abortion movement.
Even now he can’t bring himself to grant to the unborn the same inalienable right to life that we grant, at the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT level, to every other human being. No, for this ONE class of humans, Fred believes that life should be defined by the states, an argument that generally is great for a federalist, but not when it comes to basic human rights, like say abortion, or slavery.
Nobody thinks now that slavery should have been left to individual states. But Fred thinks killing babies should be left to the states.
I’ll support him anyway, because from a federal government perspective, at THIS time, it’s about all we need to get the ball rolling.
But eventually we need a president and a congress that will act on abortion like we once acted on slavery. And Fred Thompson is NOT at that point.
I’m not saying Romney is, or any other candidate is (although some certainly are). I’m just saying that people who support glass candidates should not throw stones.
