Here is some more ammo for you.


Conservatives, Beware of Fred Thompson

In this article by Richard A. Viguerie, you will learn:

How Fred Thompson disappointed conservatives during his 8 years in the Senate.

The only time he played a major role on a major piece of legislation—and he was on the liberal side.

Why he fails the Goldwater Test, getting an F.

Why he fails the Reagan Test, getting an F.

How he runs around with the wrong crowd—the Marshmallow Republicans.

Why one of Washington’s key media liberals is maneuvering for Fred Thompson.

What his “wrong” votes on these 18 important issues tell us about his commitment to conservatism.

Why everyone is so confused by his stance on abortion: Is he pro-life, pro-choice, or both? And,

Why he is not the conservative leader we need.

I appreciate the link, but I'm not looking for more ammunition on Fred. It's ridiculous to try to debate or argue the point with his fans.

If you use their own links to point out to them that Fred is a left-leaning moderate, they will claim that the link is an unreliable source.

If you use his own words to demonstrate that Fred is a left-leaning moderate, they will tell you that you are a liar or that you didn't read his quotes correctly.

If you use his own voting record to point out that Fred is a left-leaning moderate, they will tell you that Fred has changed his mind on that vote (now that the vote is cast, the bill is law and he's not in the Senate ... thanks, Fred).

And if you point out that the man doesn't have a policy agenda, they will urge you to just be patient, give the man some time or - absurdly - point to his blog and tell you that it is, in fact, a policy agenda.

Arguing with one of Fred's fans is an absurd waste of time because they won't let facts and records get in the way of their gushing over their candidate.
