On Abortion: "Government should stay out of it... The ultimate decision must be made by the women... Government should treat its citizens as adults capable of making moral decisions on their own." -- Fred Thompson, July 1994
Are the Social Cons ignorant of Thompson's background?
Back in the early to mid-1990s, there was a raging battle in the Republican Party between the Moderates/Libertarians versus the Religious Right. On one side there was Ann Stone's Republicans For Choice, the Ripon Society, Log Cabin Clubs and the organization that I had founded in 1990 - the Republican Liberty Caucus. On the other side was the Religious Right.
Tennessee was right smack dab in the middle of it all.
The leader of the TN Anti-Religious Right forces at the time was Michael McCloskey.
During the same time, Fred Thompson was making noises of running for the US Senate. McCloskey was one of the ones who was influential in recruiting him to run. McCloskey saw him as a Celebrity counter-force to the Religious Right/Pro-Lifers that could win the GOP Nomination.
And the Religious Right, predictably came after Thompson. It was a bitterly fought primary. Thompson's opponent was Religious Rightist John Bakkes. In the end, Thompson's celebrity status carried him through, and he won with 62% to Bakkes's 37%. Many credited McCloskey and his "Young Republican brigades" with helping Thompson's win.

I love the smell of Fred Fear in the morning.
You’re debasing yourself even more than you did during the Schwarzenegger campaign. I didn’t think that was possible.
This line of attack is particularly galling... since everyone here knows that if Thompson was really pro-abortion, you’d be behind him 100%.
Do you folks really think you can win a national election without the support of Republicans who are disparagingly refered to as the “Religious Right” or “Social Conservatives”?
Keep it up. Continue to alienate the wing of the party who still believes in the sanctity of life and morality and the Dems will have the White House and both houses of Congress for a long, long time.
Keep it up.
“Fair” Opinion my butt! You are not an honest person. Is it worth selling out your integrity for?
I’m afraid that you’re just whistling past the graveyard.
Wonder how many times ths drivel will be posted ? : )
Looks like Monica : )
Multiple times per day, as long as the people willing to sell their own and their party's souls to put Guiliani in the White House fear Fred Thompson.
As many times as they can.
They will find as many different versions of the story as they can and post them. They will post the same exact story as many times as they can get away with.
They don’t have a problem with thompson possibly being pro choice. They already know his real record after being corrected many times. They just want to spread FUD about fred thompson in order to help their favorite liberal - rudy.
My favorite ones are when somebody tells us Rudy will take the South and the West : )
I live in Arizona, and I don’t know ONE person for Rudy.
Ping to #66.
I’ve rarely read of any male adulterer who was anti-abortion. These statements are just shocking to me.
“I live in Arizona, and I don’t know ONE person for Rudy.”
You just need to head to a retirement village and look for a retiree from new york. That would be the most likely way to find a rudy supporter in AZ.
That’s funny right there.
“You just need to head to a retirement village and look for a retiree from new york”
Yeah, New York Transplant Disease : )
This is no contest. Thompson is clearly pro life and Rudy was and is the darling of NARAL. I am a New Yorker who will not vote for Rudy.
This is desperation from the Rudy/Patootie backers.
” I am a New Yorker who will not vote for Rudy”
You must be the only one : )
