Fred Thompson Lays Into Immigration Compromise

[cmitchz]

Fred Thompson has the endorsements of National Right to Life, George Allen and Tom McClintock.

On Thanksgiving Eve, November 21, 2007, let's help a real conservative get into the White House!

"That dog don't hunt"...LOL

[utrr14]

Go Fred Go!!!!!

[conservativegrunt]

Duncan Hunter for President 2008. Support a genuine conservative. Duncan Hunter is actively campaigning on a platform of strong national defense, enforceable borders, and core conservative values.

[thelastinkling]

Fred has voted for amnesty multiple times, tried to end pilot programs to make background checks for companies easier, he has an F minus from Americans for better immigration for cutting down on foreign workers, and has an over all grade of C minus from them on immigration in general. Go for someone who knows what he's talking about. Duncan Hunter, NEVER voted for amnesty and knows how to build a border fence, he already started.

[chukmaty]

Great job FT... please explain your past and refocus people on what you are all about... You very possibly have my vote.

[conservativegrunt]

Thompson voted for amnesty for close to one million illegal aliens from Nicaragua and Cuba to provide cheap labor to corporate America. Thompson supporters are either unaware of this fact or they choose to ignore it. Disclaimer: I am not a liberal or Ron Paul supporter. I'm a conservative speaking the truth. If Giuliani, Romney or Thompson get the nomination, the liberals will take the white house in 08. Neither of these candidates have the support of conservatives.

[gopman64]

Okay buddy...I KNOW you aren't more conservative than I am. Who do you suggest ?

[conservativegrunt]

I KNOW that conservatives have had enough of the GOP promoting RINO's while genuine conservatives are virtually ignored. Support a genuine conservative. Support Duncan Hunter.

[gopman64]

I'd prefer to support someone who can actually WIN. If you think Fred doesn't have conservative support, you aren't paying much attention.

[gopman64]

And Fred, though not perfect, is certainly no RINO.

[thelastinkling]

I disagree with that. He voted against clinton's impeachment, he support McCain-Feingold which was a slap in the face of free speech, for higher minimum wage, for corporate welfare, for restricting rights of grassroot groups to communicate with public, for affirmative action...and that's just the tip of the iceberg! (conservativesagainstfred(dot)­wordpress(dot)com

[thelastinkling]

69% of the population described Duncan Hunter as the ideal candidate when there wasn't a face put to it. He's currently fifth on gallup behind Mitt Romney.

[gopman64]

And when it's over he'll be 100th. Keep on bashing Fred, and you're going to get stuck with someone you like even less-- Giuliani. Common sense and probability, my man...Duncan is going nowhere. Get over it and set your sights on someone practical, or hand your vote to Hillary.

[DirtDiggerMan]

How Fred voted while he was in the Senate caused the present problem

-> Removed higher fines for businesses which hire illegal aliens

-> killed workplace verification

He is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations (CRF) which is the force behind the push for the North American Union -- No national sovereignty -- Open Borders. Google-> Fred Thompson CFR

Google-> Fred Thompson North American Union

Google-> All immigration votes of Fred Thompson

Google-> Fred Thompson Lobbyist

[gchuggins]

Fred Thompson is a hypocrite. We would not have 12 to 20 million illegals if you would not have contributed to an "open borders" immigration when you were in the Senate. This is why Americans for Better Immigration gave you a grade of "C". America has had enough rhetoric from political hypocrites. Stay on TV and stop "acting" like you're a conservative you fraud.

[facel2]

please run Fred you have my vote

[blbaskind]

baitkenh, what the HECK are you talking about???

[blbaskind]

I don't come from Hollywood, and could you explain what you mean by "Mark Foley politics"?

[blbaskind]

Want to go into detail, or don't you HAVE any?

[rednek234]

it costs this country ~$320,000,000,000 (that's billions of dollars) per year on programs and money sent to mexico by illegals. now it would take about ~$250,000,000,000 to deport them all and seal the border. we'd be ahead after the first year.

[rednek234]

I worked on a roofing crew and I was put out of work by those illegal aliens, why? because they were cheaper than me! now my former boss wants me back because the illegals brought their buddies up, got them hired and pretty much started partying on the job. not to mention every roof they laid leaked in the following rain storm. them saying they want to work is a bullshit claim.

[gopman64]

And if they truly had that much power, how would you know that anybody wasn't in cahoots with them, Ron Paul included ?

[1951patriot]

As a member of the CFR, it is pretty clear which side of the debate Fred Thompson is on. Ron Paul? Search Youtube for: Ron Paul 0wnz the Federal Reserve

Send a hit men after the likes of me? I can't scream loud enough to make a difference. Plenty of folks are talking about it. There is very little threat to them as long as they control, in various ways, the majority of the politicians in DC. Wannabes like Thompson and Hillary too.

[gopman64]

Well, if they control that much,then there really isn't much we can do about it, anyway. The way I see it, God's running this show. The whole existing world order, new or otherwise, is doomed. Question : If the choice is Giuliani or Hillary, who do you vote for ?

[1951patriot]

Ron Paul as a write in. Even if it is inevitable, I will go down fighting tyranny with whatever is in my power to fight with. Right now we still have a Constitution, the people still have a vote and all hope is not lost. That is why I support Ron Paul.

[gopman64]

I'd rather have Fred, but in that scenario I hold my nose and vote for Giuliani. Respect your views though. That quote from Warburg was the type of stuff my old friend used to share with me. Hope you laughed as much reading my post about Masonic hit men as I did writing it. = )

[1951patriot]

I don't see Clinton as electable. Most Americans don't like her. If she is the Democrat, Republicans can win by default. If Giuliani is the Republican against Clinton, you'll probably see a disgusted public tune the whole thing out. I can't decide which is the lesser of the 2 evils. I cringe to think America will accept a continuation of the status quo but the major media are already trying to give us this non-choice. I just pray for my children. Stay involved!! Protect Liberty!!

[chukmaty]

The Masonic comment was classic bravo...

[gopman64]

Thank you. These CFR/ conspiracy loons are something else, huh ? They're still at it. They've got Ron Paul on the brain.

[1951patriot]

Thompson is a fellow at the neo-con American Enterprise Institute think-tank as well as being a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. There is nothing about this actor that would benefit the American people. He's not Reagan as many dream. He's a phony. A wolf in sheep's clothing. Just another Trotskyite, as un-American as they come.

[gopman64]

You conspiracy loons have got to get a freakin' grip. Join us in reality-land, boys. We need the help to defeat Hillary and company... You folks must really be very lonely. There is no place on the planet to escape from your imagined enemies. How do you really know that Ron ain't in on it, too ? Huh?

[1951patriot]

If Fred is your savior, put your faith in him. As for Hillary, Fred is just the other side of the same corrupt coin. Do you even know what the CFR is? You should educate yourself a little. Then claim there's no conspiracy. This country is teetering on financial collapse. Those like you will welcome the totalitarian state that will come. Strengthen the "Patriot" Act, shred our Constitution. Long live the Money Trust.

[gopman64]

I know what the CFR is...AND the Tri-Lateral Commission. I actually run them both (I'm a descendant of Cecil Rhodes) and I'm sending Masonic hit men out to wack you at this very moment. Sorry, I have to. You've gotten too close to the truth...

[1951patriot]

You're really much smarter than I thought. Why did Jefferson have such apprehension of a central bank? Why did Jackson share the same attitude and refused to recharter the one of his day? Why were these 2 and Lincoln also so obsessed with monetary policy and fearful of central banks? They must have been conspiracy fruitcakes too.

[gopman64]

Buddy, apprehension is a lot different from paranoia. I once had a very good friend who was deeply into the whole CFR thing and told me alot about it. To this day I think there may be something to it, as fantastic as it seems. But I can't buy the whole deal, the main reason being that if it were all true, hit men would have already taken care of most of the folks who feel like you do. What would prevent them ?

[1951patriot]

Paranoia is based on delusional fear of something imaginary. This ain't imaginary:

"We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent." (Statement by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member James Warburg to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950.)

[spookynshadow]

Fred Thompson will be the next President of the United States and then it will be JEB BUSH after him LMAO, eat that you Paulites and Libertards

[1951patriot]

Yea. This is all we need. Another neo-conman straight out of the Council on Foreign Relations. The same people who brought us the Federal Reserve, One World Government Bullshit! Support Ron Paul!!

[gopman64]

Fucking conspiracy LOON. Ron Paul is a bum, he's never going ANYWHERE !!!

[1951patriot]

Too bad you're so ignorant gopman64. You probably like GWB and his cronies too. Nice mess they've gotten us into. Thompson will be nothing more than a continuation of the same. I don't think the American people will elect Thompson when they see he works for Big Brother. He does appeal to the uneducated though. And he can read the neo-con script very well. Personally, I will take the Constitution and Liberty over all the big government you'd have us accept anyday. RON PAUL 2008!!!!

[angrydragon]

Fred Thompson being backed by the past three presidential administrations, equals Bush III.

[Busykid2k]

Fred Thompson is a diehard amnesty man. A million Nicaraguans are now citizens because of his vote in the senate. As an actor he knows very well how to lie.

[sweetbilly]

I really don't know anything about Thompson so far, i'm a Duncan Hunter fan. I'll wait for the debates to air, someone will bring all the skeletons out of the closet if he has any. I'm sure like every other politician in DC he has some.

[sweetbilly]

I'd kind of like to ask whether you buy your goods at the local Walmart or are you willing to pay the extra five bucks to shop at a locally owned small business that keeps our money and influence in America? Read a book called "Empire Wilderness" you'll understand why this is such an important question. These corps are powerful but you presently still hold all the cards because America is their sole market.

[kukulcan12]

Fred Thompson gives a damn good speech but in '98 he voted yes to allow foreign workers into this country. He is too wishy-washy on this issue! Only Ron Paul or Tom Tancredo are strong enough on all aspects of this issue!

[sweetbilly]

Tancredo is great, unfortunately he's not suave enough to get elected (he hasn't got John Edwards hair i guess) he's just not eloquent enough to appeal to the lib nuts who vote too, they think secure borders are somehow racist.

Personally, i love Duncan Hunter he's just as tough on immigration. And he doesn't appear so extreme that he can't get elected. Love to see Duncan Hunter and Thompson running together ...winning combination?? I think so!! :)

[kukulcan12]

Duncan Hunter is as tough as they come on the boarder which is great, but I haven't seen him touch much at all on the benafit for illegals issue and certainly not on the anchor baby law which only Ron Paul strongly wants to change along with all other alien issues.

[sweetbilly]

Yeah but Ron Paul is weak everywhere else. We wouldn't really have to worry about the "anchor baby" law if there weren't any illegals here in the first place to have babies. Besides i'm not for completely destroying families just because they sought a better life no matter where they are from. We let them in and that was our fault, i'm ready to take some responsibility. But we don't have to allow any more in, and that's where we have a choice in this matter.

[kukulcan12]

I don't need to take any responsibility for corperations and polititions screwing us all these years by not enforcing our immigation laws! Illegals need to leave asap, and if you plog up all the loop holes 90% will leave by themselves. Paul weak on everything else...que???

[sweetbilly]

How did corps and politicians do anything to you you didn't let them do to you? I agree they need to leave but we created this mess by allowing it to take place in the first place so we are partly to blame. We dangled a carrot in front of their face. Going off half-cocked and destroying their families won't fix anything. Ron Paul is weak on national defense ...but it doesn't matter because Ron Paul won't last.

[kukulcan12]

You can't be serious??? You really think the people have any control of these multi-trillion $ corperation that have no loyalty to any govenment or country? You really believe that the polititions give a damn about what we want, just look at this last bill! You really believe we always put who we want in office...you can't be that naive!

[sweetbilly]

Yes we do have complete control of these corporations, where else are they going to sell their goods, China, Russia, Mexico? They are completely dependent on this country. I KNOW when the American people finally decide to stand up and make their voice's heard the politicians will do as you say. But when only 30% of this entire country shows up to vote in an presidential election they know they can do what ever the hell they want and get away with it because Americans don't give a shit.

[sweetbilly]

I'll tell ya something else, it's not the politicians and corporation's that have destroyed this country, they will take what you give them. It's a combination of apathy and ignorance on the part of it's citizens and a refusal to follow the laws as they were originally established in their own personal lives that have led to our problems.

[sweetbilly]

What do you expect from a country that elects morons like Arnold Schwarzenegger governor of the most productive and populace state in the union. This country is a fucking joke, we may as well be the international states of America ..cause we sure aren't United or sovereign anymore. Too many god damn foreign influences. But do i believe this system work, you damn skippy, i KNOW it still works. It's just getting people to get involved in it.

[kukulcan12]

I'll let you have the last word as there is much truth to some of what you say, but certainly not the whole truth! The world banks run our country and the world, if you want to blame the people fine, but there is a limit on just how informed people can be in this age when you have non- national multi trillion $ organizations like the Trilateral Commission planing what is best for you!

[EchelonMonitor]

"A spokeswoman for a legal defense fund on behalf of Mr. Libby would not comment today. But several of its organizers have urged that Mr. Libby be pardoned if necessary to avert a jail sentence, including Fred Thompson, the actor and former senator from Tennessee who has made it clear that he is likely to seek the Republican nomination for president."

Neil A. Lewis, The New York Times

Fred Thompson supports the criminals in the White House.

Need I say more?

[sweetbilly]

What did Libby do ..other than open his big stupid dumbass mouth? Since when is it illegal to be stupid in this country??? Besides i remember a few distasteful people who were pardoned on Clinton's watch as well ...and they, unlike Libby, weren't working in the white house at the time. They were working to burn the white house down. Need i say more?

[EchelonMonitor]

What did Libby do? Have you been living in a cave?

Of course, he wasn't even convicted of the real crimes--aiding the Bush/Cheney regime in violating the constitution and subverting the will of the American people.

[sweetbilly]

"violating the constitution" Exactly how? Like I said, all Libby did was open his mouth, what crimes did he commit? Last time i checked it's not illegal to be stupid.

[pierrem81]

Fred Thompson is CFR!!! I'd write more but I guess enough said.

*complete story*

wnd . com / news / article . asp ? ARTICLE _ ID = 55776

[boopiter]

I could personally careless if they close the borders but "a nation beset by suicidal maniacs"

that sounds like he's playing the fear card.

he's using a tragedy to further his agenda.

all of the 9-11 hijackers entered this country with legal visas.

if anything they should crack down on people that overstay visas

and please look at bush's record he has legalized and tried to legalize immigrants every since he was governer of texas

[spookynshadow]

News Alert! Ron Paul had been dumped from any further GOP debates! Found to be a LIBERTARIAN in Disquise! Who the Fuck is RON PAUL? WHO ever HEARD OF HIM?

[gopman64]

Ron Paul is a nobody loser whose 15 minutes of fame are UP !!

[spookynshadow]

President Fred Thompson!! Gonna happen ppl. Go Fred Go! You are the only person on either side who can bring this country back from Insanity!

[wntoply6]

this old fart is just another ultra con full of bullshit. his only aim is to be elected president so his family name goes down in history (like bush has ruined his family name, ha). he has no solutions, he is just another southern christian who will continue to ruin this country. america if you vote for him, you vote for 4 more years of bush and his bullshit.

[boopiter]

Wow old boy is really selling the fear hard.

anyway doesnt this guy have terminal cancer.

better make sure he has a good vice president

[pesosforcongress]

95% of the methamphetamines crosses the border illegally. 100 billion dollars is spent each year to contend with illegal immigration and crime. 320,000 illegal aliens are currently housed in U.S. jails and prisons. All five of the terrorist who tried to kill U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix, Maryland were illegal aliens.

If Fred Thompson is trying to sell fear, you are trying to sell stupidity. Secure our borders and end illegal immigration!

[dentalomental]

pesos duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuude..

How many soldiers are in Iraq?

How many National Guard in Iraq?

In Afghanistan?

peso.. pal.. POPPIES are growing great in Afghanistan right now. Al Quada is funding terrorism with the RECORD OPIUM output.

[dentalomental]

peso, paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaal..

you are worried about keeping "MEXICANS" out

WHEN American soldiers drive helplessly by those opium fields

funding FUTURE terrorism on the 48 states?

NY TIMES CROSS WORD:

3 down..

11-letters..

another Reich-Wing GOP Mccain - was on Law & Order.

[pesosforcongress]

I do not want to keep mexicans "out". I want mexicans to follow the same rules as legal immigrants.

You want to give mexicans special preference, because of their race. I want to give everyone of all skin colors equal opportunities to become part of America. Who is the racist?

We must secure our borders before we invite even greater illegal immigration--through bad legislation and mass amnesty.

Thompson is a straight-talker, and he certainly isnt afraid of stating the obvious.

[cheongyei]

Boopiter, what a cold shot. BTW, he's not selling fear hard, he is naming the truth about how inept and dishonest the Democrat-led congress is; they don't address enforcement, they just pretend to care by passing new laws which none of them have even read. With the 'leaders' like Kennedy, Reid, and Pelosi, America's future is dim. We need someone with respect for America, whether it is Thompson or someone else.

[boopiter]

I completely agree that these people that dont read the laws they pass are obviously incompetent and shouldnt hold any office. but i also think its on both sides of the aisle.

and by the way the law he is referencing passed in 86 was sponsored by a republican sen. allen k simpson and signed into law by ronald reagan himself. and how many years after that did the republicans have control to enforce this bill.

and bush is pushing this new bill harder than anyone

[Intrusion10]

Fred! is awesome!!

[dentalomental]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude..

Fred Thompson..

another John (SURGE! SURGE you BASTARDS!) Mccain.

What? NBC going to write his speeches?

Not even LAW & ORDER & CSI could make fred appealing.

[gopman64]

Fred is 100 times more appealing than anybody else running. That goes for Ron Paul, Hillary, or take your pick.

[TheFobster]

Ron Paul, US president, January 20 2009.

[toasterlover]

You got your tin foil hat on wayyyyyyyy to tight if you think that going to happen

[kukulcan12]

toasterlover, if it doesn't happen it is only because dip-sheeps like you with their heads up their ass keep begging for more of the same! Now go stick your head back in the toaster because it's certainly not ready yet!

[toasterlover]

RUN FRED RUN

[wntoply6]

yeah, best he run for what he's capable of, district attorney on "law & order", that way all his motions are prewritten, & he can do no harm. takin' a chance on another southern christian is just askin' for trouble. america's has enough of them & how they've ruined this once respected country.

[615ocean]

make a nice VP

[moneymasters07]

Ron Paul

[goethean]

Why can't you Republicans be honest with yourselves and admit that this immigration debate is about your own racism?

[KCtheKat]

goethean, If being against something that is considered illegal makes someone a racist, then I guess to you all law abiding citizens are racist. That has got to be one of the stupidest statements I've heard yet, and this is why the Democratic party is losing support because of illogical comments like this against the Republican party. Only an idiot comes up with a statement like that. Congratulations!, on representing the Democratic party. You should be proud.

[goethean]

Oh sure. Anyone observing the Justice department under Karl Rove's direction can see that Republicans care about the rule of law above all else.

[Georgiaboy130]

Keep thinking that....then expalin Waco.

[usdesertdweller]

And which race would be against? You must have a single race in mind to even mention racism?

The point is we need to enforce our own borders. Period. And it's equal opportunity enforcement.

[jeffr1982]

That's right Fred people do not trust congress. Why don't they implement the bill they passed last year to build a 700 mile fence first? Only 2 miles have been built in the last 7 months! Now they are trying to pass this rubbish.

[Surfman968]

Looks like we might actually have a grown up running for president. Silky Pony, Hitlary and BO are NOT happy.

[fredt2008]

Fred Thompson is good man, but last year he supported a "deal" to grant citizenship to illegal immigrants. I really don't like this kind of pandering.

[RockinRight]

How did he support anything?  He has been out of the Senate for years.

[mohneyhomes]

That was for Cubans. It passed 99-1. He voted against the only other amnesty type bill that came up.

[houseguy]

Fred!
