A week before the National Right to Life Committee endorsed Fred Thompson, I blogged he had disqualified himself from my list of presidential primary picks following his Nov. 4 interview on "Meet the Press" with Tim Russert.
During those moments, Thompson revealed he's in the same death camp as Rudy Giuliani, just with more exceptions.
Between that interview and one on Nov. 18 on "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos, NRLC endorsed Thompson and clearly tried to tutor him.
But it failed. Thompson unsuccessfully tried to pull one of three coffin nails he'd hammered two weeks prior, while he pounded another harder. I was left more curious than before about NRLC's decision...

We have plenty of people here that want to elect a Don Quixote to the White House so they can continue to complain that those windmills never die. They are unwilling to recognize that winning a war cannot be accomplished without winning the battles.
No, Jill doesn’t know what the hell she is talking about, and apparently has never read a single bloody thing about Abraham Lincoln or Steven Douglas.
Lincoln absolutely took a State’s-Rights view on slavery; it’s only a bunch of confederate hicks trying to justify their ancestors’ treachery and abominations that say otherwise. But Lincoln and the Confederate slave-holders both knew that the plantation system would be doomed if decent, Christian Americans ever took a very deep look at the institution of slavery.
Thompson’s answers are nearly Lincoln’s verbatim. And I suspect that’s by design.

Think it’s interesting your boy would even consider it. I thought he WASN’T like the left...
Swing by while the rest of us discuss sane, conservative candidates.
Gee, Jill, thanks for wasting my time and eating our own. This is why we lose...
Ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner!
When did Fred say he was for the Human Life Amendment?
I heard Fred say no Meet the Press video in his own words!
But he has not said he would not sign it if it came to pass (it won’t right now)
It’s called be consistent and conservative, you wouldn’t understand.
tell that to SoConPubbie
Fred is right, do what is doable, not tilt at windmills.
First overturn Roe vs Wade, then go for the Human Life Amendment.

Fred want’s to go after the Wade decision via the SCOTUS.
That’s a big row to hoe right now as it is.
We Conservatives like to win.
Try looking at his record ...100% pro life.
Or look at all the times he has explained his stance.
Or even try listening to the entire interview that Jill quotes. That in itself will give you a clue.
Never take my word for it. I wouldnt take yours ...just as I would definitely not take Jills.
Time to break out the “Aw Jeez” pic. I’m sure EV is circling this thread and will add his refuted comments.
Have you ever really listened to what he has said? Or do you get your info from people like Jill?
So far he has been one of the only candidates willing to give detailed plans of what he would do with the issues.
I love people that need to be spoon fed. Be careful from what trow you choose to eat from.
So far in this election cycle, you’ve gone from vociferous support for Rudy Giuliani to backing Ron Paul.
Who’s next, Kucinich?
You haven’t refuted anything, by the way.
Good for Jill. She’s a great American.
Before the 1970s (more than a century after Douglass died), abortion was ALWAYS a matter for the states.
Exactly....though there was differnence between Douglas and Lincoln. Both thought the states should decide slavery but Douglas, unlike Lincoln, would also let the territories also decide. I agree, however, that the Douglas comparison is bogus since popular sovereignty dealt with territorial govenrment.
Jill perhaps should have pointed out that Ron Paul has been pushing this Stephen A. Douglas, Jerry Ford, anti-Republican platform, anti-Declaration of Independence, unconstitutional, ‘states’ rights trump unalienable rights’ position for a very long time.
And that now Thompson and Paul aren’t the only one pushing it, thinking it makes them sound conservative. Romney, Giuliani, McCain, and Huckabee have done the same.
If this view is allowed to prevail, it will cut the heart out of the Republican Party.
Lincoln disageed heartily with you. That disagreement is what ultimately propelled to the presidency.
I’ve seen all that, but any man who lives an amoral, promiscuous lifestyle and is anti-abortion at the same time is a hypocrite. Too bad that you and so many fredpers have come down on the side of hypocrisy.
