I consider myself a social conservative, as well as a fiscal conservative and a security conservative. I was CHEERED by Thompson’s remarks. I like a man who says he doesn’t dance to anyone’s tune and means it, even when he talking about the purer than thou wing of the Republican Party.

For me, more than ever, Fred’s the MAN. And I know others who feel exactly the same way.

I don’t dance to anyone’s tune either. Not even Fred’s.

Well, you're just about the only one. Novak is right. Fred didn't do himself any favors with most pro-life voters with these remarks.

While I’m against abortion, I’m thorn about what to do with the person who does it, especially when it happens to a young girl. Yeah, like you, I commend Fred for saying this.

I agree with you 100%. The forces lined up against Western Civilization and the American Way of life are huge and are both inside and outside our borders. The self-defined purists would have us sit in our homes, and sit on our hands, while our enemies tear apart what's left of our nation and our freedoms, all in the name of enforcing ideological purity on a single issue.

I agree.

From the federal level, its bad law, and let’s fix that first.

Fact is, some states will outlaw it, and some won’t.

I call that a MASSIVE improvement.

I also think it gives people a choice on where they want to live.

Right now, we’re all basically forced to live in a country where murdering babies is legal.

Repeal RvW and each state then has to decide for themselves.

I am not cheered by a man who is falling in the polls because he doesn’t undertand that the GOP cannot win without the “purer than thou wing”

Your comment shows your ignorance of both them and Fred.

What is so hard for you anti-Christians to understand about this? If a person believes with all of their being that abortion is murder, and will not vote for someone who supports abortion (meaning that THEY say exactly what they mean and mean what they say...something you claim to admire....they don’t dance to anyone’s tune on this matter), it is called CONVICTION...but you confuse it with a false assertion that they claim the purer than you.

No such claim is made...but they will stay true to the conscience...and if the GOP drops the pro-life platform..you will NEVER see a GOP president again.

I’m with you. I agree with Freds remarks, actually, and I am pro life with the only exception being to save the LIFE of the mother.
