Shocker: Fred Thompson Only 99.925% Pro-Life Before His Senate Career
Posted by Frank J. at 09:02 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (15)

Fred Thompson may not be as perfect as we all thought. While a 100% of his votes were pro-life during his Senate career, new billing records show that back in the early '90s Fred Thompson charged 19 hours of work over a fourteen months period to a group that support abortion. That equals about 2.7 minutes a day from 1991 to 1992 -- a full 0.075% of his time -- that Fred Thompson was demonstrably not fully pro-life.

Conservative will have to ask themselves whether they can vote for someone like Fred Thompson who, while 100% pro-life since at least 1994, was only 99.925% pro-life fifteen years ago? How will he compare to our other choices such as Rudy Giuliani (used to be 3% pro-life, now 5% pro-life), Mitt Romney (averages about 63% pro-life over his political career), and John McCain (pro-life percentage N/A due to death of campaign)?

More as this shocking news develops!

UPDATE:

Adding to this scandal, apparently Fred Thompson has been caught in a lie. He said he didn't remember lobby for such a group, but Fred Thompson has such perfect memory that he can remember the name of everyone he's ever met -- even if he's was never told their name. Are we then to believe he couldn't remember 19 hours of work from fifteen years ago?

I guess he is Fred Thompson and is super awesome and he'd better be! I am a consultant myself and I can't get a damn thing done in 19 hours!

It took God 144 hours to create Heaven and Earth and he must have done a lot in 19 hours but I don't think Fred is at that level...

That sounds fairly minor and not likely to upset much of his potential base. The auto comparative of a door ding. Hopefully Fred if president won't stop cloning, chimera and android research. We need to experiment with zygotes and embryos and nanobots and find ways to live hundreds of years long and expand our abilities and intelligence.

#2 - Posted by: Sarcasm Man on July 19, 2007 09:55 AM

NOBODY from Ron Paul's home planet was ever even 0.01% pro-choice, ergo we must all vote for him.

Excelsior!


Seriously, though, 19 hours of Fred!'s time must have advanced the cause of abortion more than all other advocacy efforts since Roe v. Wade combined, so I consider it a serious issue.

#3 - Posted by: James on July 19, 2007 09:56 AM

Thats an intersting question. Ron Paul's a pseudo-libertarian, so isn't he supposed to be pro choice?

And seriously, how am I supposed to guilt trip whores into suicide without abortion??

I'm noticing a flow of uncouth comments coming from my fingertips this morning. I must be cranky.

Libertarians don't have to support legalizing infant murder Ringmaster...

As if something that trivial could dissuade someone as awesome as me from voting for someone as awesome as Fred Thompson.

#6 - Posted by: HKpistole on July 19, 2007 11:32 AM

John McCain, even if his campaign were not floundering, would not be not close to Fred in pro-life credentials. McCain is supportive of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, whereas Fred is not. And in 2000, McCain told a reporter that he would leave it up to his daughter whether to get an abortion if she ever got pregnant. I wouldn't give McCain more than 75%, if that.

Ron Paul's probably the most prolifiest candidate (see here) which is his one big weakness.

#8 - Posted by: Sarcasm Man on July 19, 2007 11:58 AM

Clearly it was not Fred Thompson!, but his evil mirror universe counterpart !Fred Thompson. That mustashio'ed troublemaker isn't content to use his superpowers for evil in his own universe, he must cross over into ours as well. Only the desperate efforts of Mirror Ron Paul have been able to hold him in check so far.

At least Fred can find his billing records...

#10 - Posted by: george on July 19, 2007 02:38 PM

Any candidate with two first names is way too gay to ever get my vote!

#11 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on July 19, 2007 04:26 PM

Are gay people pro-life? ...or are they socially aberrant body snatchers?

FrankJ:

I think you are a little confused. It is not just that Fred was not pro-life. It was that he was taking money to help further the pro-abortion political agenda. In other words, he was not just "demonstrably not fully pro-life." He was, in, I believe, the words of your movement "demonstrably pro-baby killing"

Also this was not the only instance of his support for the killing of the unborn. Some hippie commie who supports that pinko Mitt Romney put together a handy list of evidence of Thompson's past support for the pro-choice movement/lack of support for the pro-life movement.

http://theactblog.wordpress.com/2007/07/14/more-on-thompsons-abortion-record/

Some highlights:

1994
Eagle Survey: Thompson checks the box indicating he opposes "criminalizing abortion", later says he "doesn't remember" checking the box. (Gosh, Fred certainly seems to forget a lot of things when they concern his former positions on abortion. Are we sure we want such a forgetful person as president? Or is his forgetfulness another of his super powers?)

1996

Tennesseans For Choice Survey: Thompson checks "no" when asked if he favors criminalizing abortion. (I wounder if Fred has had a chance to "forget" about this answer yet?)

1997

Letter to a TN Constituent: "I believe that government should not interfere with individual convictions and actions in this area [abortion]."

Many more examples at the link.

Maybe we can use all of this to develop a new Fact of the Day about Fred Thompson.

"Fred can flip his position on abortion when it suits his political purposes so fast it will not just make your head spin, but fly right off."

What do you think?

Peace,

Monkey Faced Liberal

Fred is nothing but a Washington insider lobbyist with a 1 term senate run in which he accomplished nothing notable (other than landing a very nice looking lady 25 years younger than he is). Stick with Hollywood or buck up and run for real instead of dancing around and bending FEC regulations.
