I think that you're really are stretching it here. That 33% rating is for a session in which there were only three votes listed. Two of the three were for McCain-Feingold (which Fred supported at the time). Since NRLC opposed McCain-Feingold, they marked Fred down for those votes.

Do you consider McCain-Feingold a pro-life issue? Do you really think that NRLC would endorse someone with that low a rating?

P.S. A dogpile search turned up LifeSite.net as one of the first few entries that I recognized. That's where I got the information initially. Apparently, they only considered actual pro-life issues when the made their 100% claim. They should have been more specific.

The NRLC does. I thought you've been that they are an authority of who and what is pro-life.

They endorsed Fred for one reason - not because he was the most 'pro-life' candidate, but because they thought he was going to be the nominee and he was better than Rudy.

Sure - fair enough. An honest error.

I'm just going to take a break from around here until Sunday or Monday when Fred goes back to Law and Order. Hopefully some sanity will have returned.
