"We're proud to endorse Senator Thompson for president because he has a long track record of supporting pro-life principles," stated Steven Ertelt, President of Right to Life of Wyoming. "Senator Thompson had a 100% pro-life voting record during his tenure in Congress. Today, he supports overturning the Roe v Wade decision which allowed for unlimited abortions, he opposes euthanasia, and he opposes forcing taxpayers to fund scientific research that requires the destruction of human life."
Right to Life of Wyoming (RTLW) is the state affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee which has endorsed Senator Thompson for President, along with 13 other state affiliates.
"I'm blessed and honored to have the endorsement of the Right to Life of Wyoming for President of the United States," said Senator Thompson. "Thirteen right to life organizations from coast to coast have voted to endorse my candidacy, and more likely will, because they know I have stood with them yesterday, I stand with them today, and will stand with them tomorrow. They know I have the ability to win this election. They know I believe in the sanctity of life and as President I will do all that I can do to protect life."

“I just donated $100 to Fred. This is the very first time ever I have made a political donation. I did it, because however small it is, if there’s a chance it will make a difference, then it will be worth it.”
Great and good for you! I gave another $50 this morning to Fred, and will give more when I can. Every donation no matter how small still helps. GO FRED! Looking forward to the debate tomorrow night and then another one on Sunday! Fred will shine, I am sure! :)
But he did, didn’t he?
My Dad lives in Casper, and from what he has said to me, Romney has the most noticable support (save for Ron Paul) and he’s brought in the most money statewide.
He has said as well that Wyoming voters vote more “personality” than they do who has a D or R next to their name. By that, he means that Cowboy Staters can recognize a RINO a little better than, say, Iowa voters.
FWIW.
Maybe someone can convince Sen. Thompson that it would be a good idea to answer Bill O'Reilly's numerous requests to appear on his TV show.
Or, does Thompson not want his glass more than half full?
That's what won me over-- when he bitchslapped that smarmy schoolmarm moderator in Iowa.
Here ya go. Article on the Wy race.

Congratulations,

Genuine as they come and you very hard to find a classier guy than Fred or Duncan Hunter.
Just saw this on Fred’s web site. Sorry to say I missed all of these appearances! Will have to look for the videos when they are available. Someone said Fred had a nice long interview with Wolf B. Anyone see them?
Here are three upcoming media appearances for Fred today:
Fred Thompson Live Interview on MSNBC with Norah O’Donnell at 3:30 pm ET
Fred Thompson Live Interview on Fox News’ Your World with Neil Cavuto at 4:00 pm ET
Fred Thompson interview on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer between 4-5 pm ET
Actually that is a legitmate question. What has Fred Thompson authored positively to protect the unborn in all 50 states? It’s a real question.
Thanks!
Did you even READ my post? You’re either missing something or you are purposely antagonistic and spreading disinformation. I sincerely hope it’s the former.
Didn’t see it the first time.
HOWEVER, he had a perfect pro-life voting records and spoke on the floor of the Senate and in committee regarding his pro-life positions. Two such examples below:
NOMINATION OF DAVID SATCHER, OF TENNESSEE, TO BE AN ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE, AND SURGEON GENERAL OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE (Senate - February 10, 1998)
I have talked to him about this. I am a strong supporter of the ban on partial-birth abortions. I think there is no justification whatsoever for that onerous procedure. And, in response to questions on this issue, Dr. Satcher has said:
While I support the concept of a ban on late-term abortions, like the President I feel that if there are risks of severe health consequences for the mother then that decision should not be made by the Government, but by the woman in conjunction with her family and her physician.
Again, he supports the concept of a ban on late-term abortions but he believes there should be more thought given to the situation of severe health consequences for the mother. I understand what he is talking about.
Personally, I have concerns about that exception and its potential for abuse. Without getting into that whole debate again, I can simply say I disagree with the President’s position on that issue. However I have discussed this issue with Dr. Satcher and I have read what he has written in response to questions on this issue. I am satisfied he does not intend to use the position of Surgeon General to advocate or promote abortion in any way.
NOMINATION OF HENRY W. FOSTER, JR., TO BE MEDICAL DIRECTOR IN THE REGULAR CORPS OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE AND TO BE SURGEON GENERAL OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE (Senate - June 21, 1995)
Mr. THOMPSON. Mr. President, today we are debating much more than the qualifications of Dr. Henry Foster. Few could argue he is not technically qualified. Furthermore, few, if any, would contest the fact that Henry Foster is a decent man who has worked hard and done much good in his lifetime.
I might also say, for my part I am not too caught up in these issues of credibility with regard to things that may or may not have happened a decade or more ago. I do not agree with my colleagues who say that you cannot trust this man. I hope the Members of this body are never judged by standards of consistency in other matters by which we judge some of these nominees.
However, Dr. Foster is caught up in something much bigger than himself and, therefore, so are the rest of us in this debate. Because of the way the President has used the office of Surgeon General and the appointments to it, we are now engaged in a heated national debate, one that I think is divisive and unnecessary. At a time when all of us, and especially the President, should be looking for ways to bring people together in this country, the President, by means of this appointment, has chosen instead to give a symbolic victory to one side in the abortion debate.
The President has taken the office of Surgeon General, a rather obscure office with no real authority whose purposes have traditionally been to simply promote mental and physical health, and raised it to the position of spokesperson with regard to sensitive moral and social issues. Then he has proceeded to appoint Dr. Elders to that position, one of the worst and most controversial appointments in recent years.
With that legacy, naturally the position has become one of great sensitivity to many of the American people. It is time for an appointment that will symbolize a return to matters of basic health care. It is time for an appointee who will command the attention and respect of the Nation with regard to these issues.
Instead, the President has made an `in-your-face’ appointment that was totally insensitive to the religious and moral beliefs of a large segment of the American people. One must assume the President knew the firestorm of divisiveness that this appointment would cause and that he simply assumed he would be the political winner in this national debate that would ensue, regardless of whether or not Dr. Henry Foster was confirmed.
That is not the proper use of the office of the Surgeon General and that is not the proper use of this nomination. Therefore, I choose not to endorse the President’s actions and I will not vote to confirm this nomination.
I would hope the balance of the debates are on substance. During the little face time FRED gets on TV are about rumors and stupid moderator’s questions. Ask FRED about the critical issues of our time and about the detailed proposals he has laid out. You notice no MSM outlet have attempted to rip them apart? That’s because they can’t and that is what has them all worried.
FRED will go up and up from here.
I feel a bit embarrassed by the well-meaning Christians who are blindly jumping on Huckabee’s wagon. It’s no different from the dopey women who vote for Hillary JUST BECAUSE SHE’S A WOMAN. No thought goes into the process, no analysis. Haven’t they learned anything by watching the most famous Christian ex-President, Jimmy Carter??
Two videos of the three you mentioned are on:

The Wolf B one is not there.
He is still an idiot. He has risen despite his idiotic bumbles because of a stupid ill-informed pubbie electorate, and the MSM pushing for him.
Searching the net, I've not found one Wyoming poll.
Anybody seen any?
I’ve also seen Fred’s so-called trophy wife on news channel interviews and she does very well. Other than Romney and Guilani, I haven’t seen any of the others even let their wives talk on air. The ladies should be major assets in the campaign and Fred sure doesn’t hide his.
