EXCLUSIVE: Fred Thompson Pro-Life Video Address

CBN News ^ | June 14, 2007 | David Brody

Fred shakes his head too much.

Reagan would tip his head down and up sideways sometimes when he made a joke or was stressing something, but my beloved Fred has the never ending jitters.

But then again I know a woman I work with who moves her hands rapidly whenever she’s explaining something. Maybe I have behavioral quirks myself, but I think Fred needs to slow his head nodding and twitching down some if he can.

Just friendly advice.

Hey, just asking for opinions. I’m a big fan of Terry Jeffrey, and I don’t think he would lie about such a thing. But hey, maybe he hasn’t gotten the memo yet...

Just for curiosity's sake, do you know who this quote is from?

The San Diego reference really makes it hard to figure it out...

So, where's the link to Congressman Hunter saying this? What's his evidence? Fred's on video back then saying the same things he's saying now. If Congressman Hunter is assuming based on the ravings of some of the anti-Fred crowd, he is doing himself a disservice.

[Politicalmom]

I don’t really know. He may have been against the pro-life plank on states’ rights grounds, I guess.

I tend to take the word of someone who lied about Fred being “pro-choice” with a grain of salt, though.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Can you provide a link to this? I’m curious. Perhaps his meaning was that Fred was against a constitutional amendment, which he always has been.

[Politicalmom]

Nasty tactics you use.

I haven't read any of it yet but it certainly looks PING worthy. So....

Surely...I was watching Terry on Hardball and he said it...I actually couldn't believe it and thought I had heard it totally wrong, but here's the transcript link...

Look about 3/4 of the page down...I recall in 1996 that Bob Dole wasn't big on that plank and Dole said he didn't even read the platform and didn't have to abide by it anyway...do you recall Thompson being involved with the platform committee? I think Hyde was the chairman then... Take care...

Thanks for the PING, Marvin!

I’ll read it now and see y’all later.

[Lightcutter]

I am proud as hell to be helping support him. Clear, no nonsense, no waffling.

[MHGinTN]

I think this answers the question we pose a few weeks back, brother!

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Well, perhaps we should contact Terry and ask him just where he gets this information. He’s the only one saying it.

Again, he may mean that Fred was against the plank because he didn’t support an amendment, which is fair to say. Saying Thompson is pro-choice, however is a big stretch.

Huckabee is a nanny-state RINO who craves power. He’s solid on abortion and the 2nd Amendment - but that’s about it. But he loved to raise taxes, pardon violent criminals, and mandate how Arkansans should live their lives. He’s bad news.

[RebekahT]

“Notwithstanding, my heart goes out to Huckabee. May his voice be heard as long as poossible in this protracted election season.”

Why on earth does your “heart go out to Huckabee”?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Alamo-Girl]

I didn’t know you prefer Huckabee. How interesting!

[hosepipe]

[.. Thompson comes across as a completely admirable man. Still my heart belongs to Huckabee. ..]

My dream is Ann Coulter as presidental candidate with G.Gordon Liddy as her VeeP.. and Dennis Miller as proposed Press Secretary.. Not only for the bodacious entertainment value..

[nowandlater]

Pitch perfect speech. Very nice.
