This is the rudy boosters new strategy to take out their biggest threat.

Afraid of the truth?

This is HISTORICAL FACT:

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.

The funniest thing about this is how the Rudy-bots pretend that the abortion issue isn't hurting their guy at all. Then, the second a viable opponent appears, the first thing they do is go after his record on pro-life issues.

Something really stinks about the Rudy-bots. They really do think we're all stupid red-necks.

That image you posted is very interesting. Beyond the comparison, Roe v. Wade bypassed the entire law making process.

"The left frequently poses as the champions of democracy. It has to, because liberals are generally committed to the democratic idea, and the left relies on liberal support to secure mainstream legitimacy for its agenda. Recall, however, that the left has won virtually all of its victories in America not through the democratic process but by going around it. How did abortion become legal? How did the left get its radical doctrine of secularism adopted? How has the left managed to overturn all laws against pornography? How is gay marriage being pushed today? In every case, the left has relied on the courts to declare a "right" and then enforce that right against the will of the American people and their elected representatives. In this sense, the biggest victories of the cultural left in the past few decades have all been achieved undemocratically." --Dinesh D'Souza, The Enemy at Home
