Fred Thompson Watch: The Scrutiny Begins

Actor, and former U.S. Senator, Fred Thompson speaks at a Lincoln Club Dinner in Newport Beach, California May 4, 2007.

Thompson’s 1994 Issue Positions

Project Vote Smart, which compiles voting records and other background materials on politicians, has finally put up its page on Fred Thompson (OK, maybe “finally” isn’t exactly the fairest word when Mr. Thompson hasn’t even announced for president — but I’ve been eager to see it).

Anyway, it seems Mr. Thompson filled out a survey for Project Vote Smart back in 1994, when he was running for Senate. While it’s mostly pretty predictable (boo foreign aid, yay low taxes), there are a few parts worth scrutinizing… (see: abortion, education, AIDS).

The scrutiny begins and the question is:

Fred, you in or out?
