Said what?
I believe we are discussing FDT, not DLH in this thread, RR. Have another cup of coffee.
Is Terrence Jeffrey supporting Hunter now? Cool.
Project Vote Smart lists Thompson as having supported Contract With America items 100 percent of the time.
You’re correct, but we also have to realize that there is no realistic alternative.
I, for one, am 100% fine with Fred’s stance and would take the same one if I ran for office.
But why shoot off your mouth about state-level action?

bingo. it’s not about federalism
Did you watch Meet the Press? I declare, there are as many worlds walking around out there as there are people! How will we ever unite enough to bring our country out of the tail spin we are in in view of that!
I'm in agreement. Potato Boy knows damn good and well that abortion is an issue just like asking Republican candidates to raise their hands if they don't believe in evolution. It's designed to scare the mushy middle.
Fred Thompson is doing the right thing, he's fighting the general election fight, and not trying to look like he's too far in the pockets of the religious right that the mushy middle distrusts completely. By saying "the issue goes back to the states where it was before Roe vs. Wade", means that comfort is given to those who don't want to see abortion absolutely outlawed in every circumstance. There are a heck of a lot of people in the swing states who think that, unfortunately.
I'm perfectly happy with Fred Thompson's votes while a US Senator, and I'm convinced he will appoint SCOTUS justices who believe in federalism as well.
If you really want to get abortion completely out of this country, then support efforts that will get it out of part of this country. If Roe v. Wade had not come to pass, then you'd only have free and easy abortion in the blue states, the rest of the country would not be paying for this immorality. Fred Thompson would do everything in his power to restore that situation.
That’s a pretty lofty theory. But I doubt Terrence Jeffrey is a democrat. And I doubt the Cybercast News Service is Catholic. Just my 2 cents.
That’s not the idea, it’s REALITY. Might want to visit that place sometime.
When a candidate's supporter makes derogatory comments on a thread regarding another candidate, they should expect and accept remarks about their own candidate. You can't have it both ways.
Fred is correct on how to make abortion illegal... at the State level. Roe is all about making abortion a Federal Case... Fred also has 100% anti-Abortion voting record... unlike rootie or mitt. I’ll stick with Fred because your guy loves dead... babies!
LLS
Don’t forget federal ethanol subsidies. Fred seems to only come up federalist on the moral issues that matter the most to the conservative base. He won’t dance to anyone’s tune though!
“This is exactly what pisses me off about the absolutionist crowd.”
This is what angers me about the wishy washy anyone but the Demonrat crowd.
While we vote for pro-death candidates like Bush and Thompson millions of babies are being slaughtered, sanctioned by our government. If we had doctors paid to go into kindergartens and ripping the legs of 2 million 5 year olds, getting paid big money, completely “legal”, would you think that would be the most important issue? Wouldn’t you settle for compromise on that issue?
That load of BS won’t work for the Rudy boosters, and it won’t work for you either!
>The Fred supporters are sounding more and more like the Rudy supporters all the time.<
You are too kind, Joe. To me they sound more and more like Reid and Pelosi. :)
I refer you here to what my guy thinks. And BTW, has thought since he first stepped foot in DC.
