Fred Thompson's South Carolina TV ad!

If they were making their endorsement after IA, they would have endorsed Huck, and given they are a single issue lobby, I would have at least understood that.
Queeg isn't prolife at all - he opposes overturning RvW.
So you opposed the North's war of Northern agression and think the south should have been left alone? Welcome to Paulville.
Do you support a 'Federalist' interpretation of the 2nd amendment, like Rudy?
The problem is also that Fred also opposes states restricting abortion.
Fred Thompson, by law, was not allowed to vote for the impeachment of President Clinton. The members of the House of Representatives do that.
Fred Thompson did, however, vote to convict President Clinton when handed over to the United States Senate.
Does he now? And just where did you get that tidbit of information?
From one of your cherry picked partial quotes?
I’ll tell you what though. Lets say I support Fred and you go and support..... who ever and don’t bore me with part of quotes you seem to think makes your case.
Perhaps you would be less enthusiastic about killing 3 million Americans if you knew, for sure, that your entire family would be among them? Myself, I am generally opposed to mass murder.
Fred voted for impeachment on one count. Will his Kingdom abolish lying, it is a sin.
I guess that’s why National Right to Life endorsed Mitt./sarc
Your candidate has some positives. Consider discarding the nastiness and learning from him.
I’m just perplexed by the SC group.
I believe those people who aren’t interested in FRed because he is a Senator. What Thompson should have done is run for Governor after Sentor of Tennessee. When was the last time we had a Senator for President? JFK. Close to 50 years now.
I am astounded that so-called Christians are willing to give Huckabee a pass for letting a rapist out of jail prematurely, so that he could rape again, and murder. Is that Christianity?
Half truths and lies
When was the last time we had a Senator for President? JFK. Close to 50 years now.How many times does this argument have to be shot down before it will stay down?
Consider these six possible general-election matchups:
Senator McCain vs. Senator Clinton.
Senator McCain vs. Senator Obama.
Senator McCain vs. Senator Edwards.
Senator Thompson vs. Senator Clinton.
Senator Thompson vs. Senator Obama.
Senator Thompson vs. Senator Edwards.
In which of these six possible general-election matchups is it possible for a non-Senator to prevail?
Think hard, now. This might be a trick question.
Excellent ad.
That would be Thompson, because he is the only one who is a former Senator. All of the others on your list are current senators. It Has been since 1960 since a US President (Kennedy) was directly elected from the US Senate.
Funny. I don’t see any of them President in the last 50 years which was the point of my post. Another thing you conveniently you left out the two governors and mayor. Plus that has NOTHING to do with my post whatsoever. You went on some crazy notion that this is going to result in this scenario. Plus who said I was speaking of this campaign? I was speaking of 2004 and earlier.
What a bizarre statement. I’m not sure you if you understand this, but most of us do not see our candidates as “Gods”, or even future Gods...Your statement suggest that you believe Romney is your God. You need some help.
Oh, and as for your argument about Right to Life Groups simply picking too early, more come out for Thompson every day.
If a man like Romney, who so passionately defended Roe v. Wade, attended NARL fund raisers and pledged to uphold the status Quo when it comes to abortion can in fact convince any right to life groups to endorse him, then you may be right about him being a God, since nothing else could explaining any pro-life conservative voting for man with such a reprehensible past on this issue.
Fred is also a Federalists and believes that those powers “not expressly given to the federal government or withheld from the states resides with the states.” Fred has a 100% pro-life voting record period.
The bottom line, is either you don’t know what you are talking about on this issue, or all the national and state pro-life organizations are clueless on this issue. I’ll give you one guess as to which would be the correct answer.
Also, the reason no one is endorsing the Dope from Hope is that, although he is pro-life, Huckabee has said that he believes the Constitution does contain a “right to privacy”. This flawed argument is the basis of the Roe v. Wade opinion. Also, most pro-life voters are conservatives in general, and the Huckster’s nanny-state policies and far left foreign policy positions probably scare the Mitt out of most of them.
“I am astounded that so-called Christians are willing to give Huckabee a pass for letting a rapist out of jail prematurely, so that he could rape again, and murder. Is that Christianity?”
That’s the beauty of “identity politics” what the man has said, or even done doesn’t matter. He may be a flaming liberal, whose left wing policies have destroyed lives and a state Republican Party, but he’s a preacher, he’s “one of us” and therefore can’t be criticized.
