If you are a South Carolina politico, you know that Hal Stevenson is a guy you want on your team. He, and perhaps State Senator Kevin Bryant, are about the only good things Senator Sam Brownback has going for him in South Carolina. That’s why we were very shocked to see Stevenson tell Lee Bandy that Brownback “can’t go on much longer.”
Ouch! That hurts coming from one of your top supporters…especially one the caliber of Stevenson.
We’ve always liked Sam Brownback. He’s been a good Senator, but lately he has a been a real jerk. We would like to use other words to describe Senator Brownback’s attitude toward every other Republican running, but those words won’t fit nicely with our family values readers.
And this on ol’ Freddy…
The papers that Thompson donated to the University of Tennessee — which, unlike the first lady papers of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library, were made accessible to the public by Thompson — offer a view as to Thompson’s political career that seems not always in firm alliance with Christian conservatives.
ABC News has obtained, for instance, two sets of position papers on abortion from Thompson’s 1996 Senate race that indicate Thompson may have been to a degree trying to appeal to both those who support and those who oppose abortion rights.
CLICK HERE to read these two position papers in full.
In one “position paper on abortion” someone has written “(PRO-LIFE)” on the top right-hand corner, and the document states “Senator Thompson has a strong pro-life voting record in the Senate.” The paper contains seven examples of votes Thompson cast against legal abortion.
Another “position paper on abortion,” however, on which someone has written “(PRO-CHOICE)” omits the statement that “Senator Thompson has a strong pro-life voting record in the Senate,” and it does not mention the seven votes he cast against legal abortion.
The “PRO-CHOICE” position paper mentions, as does the “PRO-LIFE” one, that Thompson opposes “federal funding of abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger,” and supports other restrictions, while concluding that “(b)eyond that, Senator Thompson has said that the federal government should not be involved in the issue of abortion. He does not believe that early term-abortions should be criminalized. He feels instead that this is a battle that must be won in the hearts and minds of the American people.”
Asked for comment, Thompson spokeswoman Linda Rozett said in a statement, “These papers show Sen. Thompson’s position on abortion is clear and consistent. He has a 100 percent pro-life voting record in the Senate.”
I would just like to disagree with the above paragraph with the video below…
