YOU'RE flummoxed! What about ME? I can't figure out what you are getting at with this.
Really - I don't get it. Are these the "first amend words" you are referring to:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
If so, what part of these do you think "he does not like"?
And why would you think such a thing? Surely you aren't referring to CFR? Thompson has already and long since said his support of that legislation was a mistake. And besides, it wasn't just Thompson, all on his lonesome, that got that piece of crap enacted into law. A majority of Senators and Representatives voted for it in a Republican controlled Congress, if memory serves. And never forget that George W. Bush signed it. Laying this at the feet of Fred Thompson involves a bit of bad history.
What still amazes me is that all the pols including Fred went for it.
The president campaigned in 2000 saying he was against it.
Then he signed it.
What gives?
Some dealing with John McCain to get along?
Did they all want to keep McCain’s diaper dry by supporting it?
Are they still trying to do it now?
Is McCain the designated GOP candidate with everyone else splitting the vote to let him through?
And Mitt Romney SAYS he's pro-life, too despite his record. Yet we seem to give Freddie a pass on this one.
