You do know that has been discussed and covered extensively here since some pro-Rudy turd posted it to try to damage a conservative candidate to make their liberal one look better.
Here's one of my responses:
Now, what was it you were trying to smear Fred Thompson with again, Rudytard?His views in 1994, especially as it pertains to abortion, were made irrelevant by his actual voting record. His voting record in the Senate was solidly pro-life and conservative. The constant repetition of a few things that he SAID in 1994 ignores the actual record of what he DID while serving in the Senate. Further, the intent of repeating the 1994 statements is to detract from Thompson's conservative record.
