JLT “a Disappointment” to Values Voter

From the opinion page of Terre Haute’s Tribune-Star comes this delightful letter:

Dem candidate a disappointment

I am disappointed with Jill Long-Thompson’s campaign games. While Indiana’s economic situation is clearly an important political issue, she fails to list her positions on social issues like abortion and gay marriage on her Web site.

Could it be because she wants to avoid advertising that large portions of her campaign funding come from Emily’s List, an organization that supports candidates who favor abortion-friendly policies?

Thompson’s runningmate, Dennie Oxley, has been called pro-life and voted in favor of an amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman. He should be ashamed of himself, having compromised his own values to jump onto the ticket of a candidate who refuses to stand against gay marriage and who will be looking for ways to return the monetary favors from Emily’s List in the form of pro-abortion political action.

— Carly Robbins, Terre Haute

It’s an interesting point. Nowhere on Long Thompson’s website does it say a word about her positions on various social or traditional values issues.

Given the amounts of money she has been given by far-left organizations like the pro-abortion group Emily’s List, you’d think that she’d want to make those positions clear (especially if they are actually different from those of that organization, which I suspect they aren’t).

During the primary, Long Thompson also made abundantly clear her position opposing the marriage amendment.

So, what does Long Thompson have to say?

Is she going to follow the agenda of Emily’s List and other far-left groups that are bankrolling her campaign, or will she change her mind and agree with the values of Hoosiers?
