National Right to Life Committee to Endorse Fred Thompson.

[natewillsheets]

You may have heard today that Fred Thompson is being endorsed by the National Right to Life. (NRLC) NRLC is the largest pro-life organization that has a great force in politics. They can make or break a candidate in a lot of cases. Usually many people make their decision after hearing what NRLC has to say

I too was already planning to vote for Fred as he is the better choice I see.

I'm not a single-issue voter either, but certain issues are bigger than others, and the pro-life issue is one of those so it does influence my choices.

Ditto. I'm by no means a single-issue-voter, but I do have my priorities, and he's spot-on my two primary issues, abortion and national security. So, until the day I find a pro-life, strong national security oriented, education reforming, conservationist, 2nd amendment protecting candidate who also supports gay marriage, it's Fred Thompson for me.

This link express some of my worries about Thompson.

Then again, I am not excited about any of the candidates on the Republican side. But I would be more comfortable with McCain on abortion than Thompson.

Too bad the only people who like McCain are democrat journalists.

And Brownback ;)

Got that email too did you? :)

well he's prolife and not..entirely anti gay marriage.

Why don't we ever have queer friendly and pro life candidates run? would that be so hard?

[phantomdiver]

It would make a candidate pretty much unelectable, seems to me. Though I would love to see one, too.

[natewillsheets]

Well, the Republicans aren't really a "queer friendly" party, are they? ;)

[drecat]

No, but it's sad, because to me, the gay marriage issue and pro-life issue are somewhat...umm...for lack of a better term..."married". Many times from the pro-choice side I get "Who will take care of all the baybeez OMFG?!!?!?!?!!!1111one". I usually shoot back with, "Well, adoption reform, and then allowing gay people to marry and adopt would fix both problems now, wouldn't it? Tons of children + tons of couples who essentially can't have their own children = everyone's happy". Come to think of it, I've never had a response to that...

My response isn't so much "are they insane?" but rather "I wasn't going to vote for him no matter what, so I don't care."

I was tempted to answer "I'm pro-choice" for the lulz, though. XD
