Don’t you have anything better to do?
Funny how Lindsey Graham scored to the RIGHT of Fred in every one of those "true conservative" ratings, but he's still referred to as a "RINO traitor" on FR.
Would you prefer he list "Fred's own words" about those those three issues? Here you go:
ON McCAIN-FEINGOLD
"We are making headway to do something that will reduce the cynicism in this country and that will help this body, that will help us individually. [McCain-Feingold will] help challengers reach a threshold of credibility when they want to challenge us in these races."
-- Fred Thompson, March 27, 2002

ON AMNESTY
"I think that you have to realize that you're either going to drive 12 million people underground permanently, which is not a good solution. You're going to get them all together and get them out of the country, which is not going to happen. Or you're going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship"

--Fred Thompson, Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes," 4/3/06
ON ABORTION
"Should the government come in and criminalize, let’s say, a young girl and her parents and her doctor? I think not...I do not believe abortion should be criminalized."
-- Fred Thompson, Oct. 1994

There you have Fred's own words. If you disagree with those statements, take it up with him, not freepers who "question" Fred's position on those issues.
Either Fred himself was "lying" when he made those statements, or Fred has changed his position on those issues. If Fred would like to admit a mistake and say he ABSOLUTELY no longer supporters those things (and what caused him to have a change of heart), he's free to do so. We'd welcome hearing "his own words" admitting that, rather than his spinmeisters here on FR.
Tommy Thompson is NEVER going to be the President of the United States.
Nothing in your post is “pro-amnesty.” It is not that specific.
The 1994 “pro-abortion” thing (so-called) is vitiated by his voting record and endorsements/damnations ever since. He has also expressed his regrets about McCain-Feingold.
In other words, beebee: go pound sand.
1. I honestly know nothing about Graham.
2. How can you score to the right of right-wing-groups’ 100’s and left-group zeroes?
I thought it was stating he was pro-choice (pro-death)
That would be a bummer!
It sure would.
