Paul Weyrich has also jumped the shark.

[mbraynard]

This endorsement is really no big deal. It means they give Thompson no more than $5000 or so.

Pro-life voters will make up their own minds on who to support - and any of them can come up with reasons to support any R who is running. And they will. Endorsements from a faceless group like this (albiet a very helpful group to The Cause) do not carry much weight with voters as much as, say, an endorsement from an actual person who is a leader in the movement (like Henry Hyde or Schlafly or something like that).

Weyrich came unglued 8 years ago, when he counseled defeatism to conservatives. I was there, I heard him say it. Since that time, I pay no attention to him.

[padre35]

Wow, you can tell an election is in the air, things are getting a little nutty.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The Romney campaign resorting to underhanded, sleazy tactics. What a surprise.

[M203M4]

Paul Weyrich is doing no favors for himself, Romney, the unborn, or conservatism writ large with this acute public outburst of derangement. I hope this is a case of mouth working faster than brain.

[JRochelle]

Consider yourself spanked, Weyrich!

[Route66]

It is unseemly for the Romney campaign and its supporters to suggest that NLRC-PAC's coveted endorsement is based on a bribe. Second, this unfounded accusation is as outrageou s as it is ironic, given the Romney campaign's long history of spreading money around to anyone who will take it."

Ouch!

Go Fred!

[DesScorp]

Weyrich has lost it. Time for a changing of the guard....

[ejonesie22]

"Gov. Romney is new to the pro-life movement and his campaign clearly has a few things to learn about it. First, they should understand that despite their campaign's every effort, groups like the National Right to Life Committee's PAC (NLRC-PAC) cannot be bought. NLRC-PAC is supporting Fred Thompson because of Fred's 100% pro-life voting record. They know he stood with them yesterday, he stands with them today, and he will stand with them tomorrow. It is unseemly for the Romney campaign and its supporters to suggest that NLRC-PAC's coveted endorsement is based on a bribe. Second, this unfounded accusation is as outrageou s as it is ironic, given the Romney campaign's long history of spreading money around to anyone who will take it."

OUCH!

Anyone got a cold compress for Gov. Romney...

[MitchellC]

Zing!: Gov. Romney is new to the pro-life movement

Let's give Mitt Romney eight years to contemplate whether or not he wants to be pro-life. After President Thompson leaves office, if Mitt has managed not to flop-flip back to being a liberal on this issue, then he can be considered for the job.

[ninenot]

I fear that Paul Weyrich, (formerly of Milwaukee, WI) is losing his marbles.

That happens at a certain, ahhh, delicate age...

[topher]

Though this is no defense of Paul Weyrich and his comments regarding the NRLC endorsement of Fred Thompson, there is a prayer thread for Paul Weyrich on Freerepublic (2006) because he is a diabetic.

So maybe any health problems might be a factor in this.

Please consider praying for someone whose words are heeded by many conservatives in this country...

God bless!
