Thompson stands up for gun rights

Ronald Reagan signed a bill allowing abortions “for the well being of the mother” in 1967 as Governor of California. He also, the same year, signed a tax increase.

And while he was president he signed into law the odious '86 full auto ban.

Fred Thompson has said that the limitations on free speech in the McCain-Feingold bill are wrong and he should have fought to have those provisions removed.

And Julie Annie is back pedalling on gun control (like anyone other than New Yorkers believe him)

Considering Thompson’s consistant views on the role of Government (particularly his views on Federalism), I do believe him when he says he believes he made a mistake.

“I’ve been for Fred since he entered the race, but something I’m really starting to see - and like - about him is that he takes a clear position, contrasts his position with those of his rivals, and moves on. You never have to wonder where he stands on things. I may be naive and un-nuanced, but I’m a big fan of plain talking.”

I have noticed the same thing, and have also been for Fred since the beginning. Also was for Duncan Hunter, and hope Hunter is in a great position in the Thompson administration. With Fred, we do know where he stands and he is so honest and tells it like it is. He points out differences between him and the others and does it nicely and effectively. Truth is, Fred is gaining in support daily. Go FRED! :)

The press makes him out to be a nut, but he is a very intelligent man and the most conservative man on that platform. The only thing he’s gone off the deep end on lately is this idea that paying taxes is voluntary or something to that effect. I don’t know where he’s come up with that. He did not use to say that. I guess his hatred of government confiscation has gotten to him. It’s gotten to me also...

I find Keyes to be an insufferable talker. His over the top preachy rants are more than most sensible Americans are willing to bear, and his inclusion in debates has been a case of affirmative action and nothing more. In fact, he’s a great example of why affirmative action sucks. If he were white, do you think anyone would be cowed into including him? His presense in the debates this time is completely absurd. It was already absurd in 2000.
