>> cochran voted twice to fully fund planned parenthood... the largest abortion mill... so he is not pro life... he just lies about it. <<

You’re probably correct, although I don’t know when the votes occurred. Anyway, as I’ve already said, his record isn’t 100% either on pro-life or pro-gun issues, but the record is still strong.

To be specific, Cochran has received a 100% rating from the National Right to Life Committee almost always, going back many years. And he gets a zero rating from NARAL in most years. His record on gun issues is similar, but maybe a little weaker.

Click here to see his ratings from various pro-life and pro-abortion groups:

Then scroll down near the bottom of the listing to see his ratings from various gun-issue groups.

Bottom line:

Cochran’s record on social issues is not 100% perfect, but it’s probably good enough to satisfy those Mississippi voters (probably the majority) who attach a much greater importance to the social issues than to the Congressional corruption that’s involved in pork-barrel spending.
