Fred Thompson stops by Steve Gill’s radio show and reacts to the Pat Robertson endorsement of Rudy Giuliani, talks immigration reform and shares his impression of Governor Mike Huckabee as a “pro-life liberal.”
“When you’re very, very low and you come in for a while just very low then that’s considered to be a surge in politics. He’s doing better.
He’s a good man but he’s a pro-life liberal. He’s right on the pro-life part, but he’s a liberal. You look at his taxes in the state you look at what he said about immigration. You know he worked against any attempt to control immigration coming in through his home state…”

Fred also lets Rudy (yes, he calls him Rudy) have it on gun licensing. Audio here.

Sorry about the title; got in a hurry— should read Fred Thompson Calls Mike Huckabee A “Pro-Life Liberal”
Your first post?........
I love that dry wit.
Sadly, I can’t really argue with that. But if I’m going to have nothing but liberals to pick from, I’m going to pick a fiscal liberal over a social liberal.
You’d think so, wouldn’t you!!!
Unfortunately, I don’t have that excuse to fall back on!
FRED......PING!!!
its awwright, we got it. Pretty accurate description actually.
I knew it! Fred is an older version of me!!!!!
See my homepage. I’ve been saying this FOR YEARS! Guys like Huckabee and Brownback are NOT conservatives, just because they’re pro-life and talk about God a lot.
Sometimes Fred is very funny...and then..he’s very, very funny:)
That is a good line, kudos to Thompson.
Thanks, mods, for fixing the title— I’ll do better!
Wasn’t Al Gore once a pro-life liberal?
Just askin’...
I’m the opposite.
My personal values are what they are...but my wallet is at the mercy of the Government.
I hope to NOT have to make that choice.
Fastest way to get a title fixed is to hit the “report abuse” button and request a change.
Ceausescu was a fiscal ‘liberal’ who banned all abortions in Romania. This combination led to many babies stuck in orphanages because their mothers couldn’t afford to take care of them.
when they got rid of him, abortion was legalized and now romania has the highest abortion rate. why? again, poor economy
Pro life and fiscal conservatism must go hand in hand.
I’m glad he’s going to be campaigning in earnest, now.
Right, and neither were Jimmah Cartah and G.W. Bush. It's tragic that some prominent evangelicals are fooled by rhetoric.
I don’t want to have to make the choice either. Still, being robbed of my money is not as bad as being forced to support immoral stuff.
