Fred Thompson

[hairhorn]

Iraq was not a centre of "radical Islam" before the Iraq war.

This guy believes his own BS.

[cmitchz]

Fred Thompson just received the endorsement of the National Right to Life Committee. On November 21st, 2007, let's give Fred the help he needs to become President!

[TheTruthIsHere08]

This is to any Huckabee and Fred Thompson supporters out there: Mike Huckabee has sent a letter to Fred Thompson asking for a Lincoln/Douglas style debate between them. Go to explorehuckabee(dot)com and sign the petition! That would be something! Mike Huckabee is the best debater I've seen in both parties so far. I'd like to see how Thompson performs before I make my decision.

[Seekster]

Vote Fred Thompson 2008 and 2012!!!

[wraft]

Fred Thompson is CFR

[mantra77]

The Dems and the Ron Paul supporters fear Fred Thompson!

[williscoulis]

The Democratic system is great for keeping fresh leadership, but it gets complicated, because those who are elected are bought with cash and pummeled with guiding ideas. Corruption becomes law and it can only be implemented by confusing language (that only few understand completely) buried within layers of books that are of the dryest and convoluted sort. So, yeah, the people have a say, but they don't know what to say about it.

[williscoulis]

Business should be easy to start, and most are not easy to start because the law making body becomes infiltrated with ones who wich to use the government as a competition blocker.

These are the thoughts that lead me to the ideas that individuals should have the rights and the state should protect them. I can band together with a small group and overcome, but I have no chance of overcoming if the government thinks it knows best, and uses its coercive power to keep me at bay.

[williscoulis]

I've read and listened to Chomsky a bit and he is brilliant, I have not, however, looked into his solutions about government systems. I like how he brings glaring failures to the forefront, and wipes out blind patriotism with fact. Listening and reading Chomsky will make you never want to be uninvolved in the political process.

[williscoulis]

I do understand, though, that it is true that all people channel all thoughts through each's own brain. Each person has his own will, and will pursue it whether it be for communtity spirit or greed. One's idea of community spirit will definitely be different from the next. So, whose ideas are pursued? Whose agenda is implemented?

[mhirtes12]

The only person worse than Fred Thompson in regards to people on Social Security is Ron Paul!

Fred just wants to slash what little Social Security they would get as it is. Ron Paul (as all Loonietarians would if given the chance)would cut them off completely and leave them to starve!

Choosing Ron Paul over Fred Thompson is like skipping over Darth Vader to support Lucifer.

[westphalianprinz]

A fascist is someone who thinks that big business should run the government and to do so they run on irrelevant social issues-- like abortion and gay marriage-- and on nationalism. He may call himself a socialist if your country's political culture likes socialism, that's the only socialist part of Adolf Hitler. They would probably call themselves freedom lovers or something like that here.

[williscoulis]

The only system that can be fully realized by every citizen is the free market, that is backed by honest money, and protected from theft and violence by the state. The Rule of Law exists for EVERYONE to abide by.

[williscoulis]

Collectivism leads to corruption, because leaders do not truly represent whole groups and individuals are not encouraged to break free from group thought. The most despicable traits of power and greed are used to gain control of the government and use it as a coercive entity to bring populations under wraps for the gains of a select few whether it be for a "social" purpose or a "business" purpose.

[westphalianprinz]

I don't necessarily agree with you, but look what they've done with eminent domain-- social purposes have been morphed into corporate purposes. I actually believe in democracy, and we know that democracy leads to leveling and socialism. That's why Hitler and Aristotle hated it so much, and why Marx believed "Democracy is the road to socialism." We're actually talking about the same things; we have different solutions for solving them.

[westphalianprinz]

Democracy takes care of corruption-- you can't have a Stalin if the people are engaged and the process is open. The thing is I see capitalism rewarding greed and power and not solidarity or the community spirit (the things that make life worth living as a social organism). I should say you know your stuff on libertarianism. I read Antiwar (dot) com and Lew Rockwell quite a bit.

[westphalianprinz]

When I say capitalism, I'm talking about the current type of capitalism with big corporations. When you say capitalism, you're talking about the John Locke/Adam Smith version which much more small business oriented. However, I think this type of capitalism is easily derived from that type of capitalism.

[westphalianprinz]

What about Proudhon-- "property is theft." There is a whole other set of libertarians out there (I don't necessarily agree with them; I think they're wasting their time) who are collectivists who oppose any form of government or minimal government. Chomsky? Bakunin? Kropotkin? The big split is between those who follow Marx and those who follow Bakunin.

[apsvth]

GOP 2008- Ron Paul. In my line of work you gotta repeat the truth till it sinks in. Catapult the propaganda.

[williscoulis]

Fred Thompson is socialist.

Do not be fooled.

Read: Road to Serfdom by FA Hayek

[westphalianprinz]

what? I'm a socialist and I can't stand him.

[williscoulis]

Yeah, but Fred isn't supposed to be socialist.

He thinks that the government should plan the economy for the benefit of business groups and he also thinks the state knows what is good for the people. Not to mention that he has no regard for the Rule of Law.

Hopefully, he won't be President.

[westphalianprinz]

Socialism for the rich? I certainly see that in these type of conservatives. But I see it in liberals too. Only libertarians, paleoconservatives, and lefties give a damn about working people (each is different, but each is better than this crap).

[williscoulis]

That book by FA Hayek I was recommending (upon Ron Paul's recommendation from his Myspace) is full of the language I'm regurgitating. It blew my mind to bits.

[westphalianprinz]

The one about Serfdom. I started out as a libertarian and then moved to Marx and socialism.

[westphalianprinz]

When I say libertarian, I mean Chomsky type libertarian, not Hayek or von Mises or Ron Paul. I'm appalled by something like Murray Rothbard or Ayn Rand (even though they are similar, they hated each other, which is probably why). I'm very familiar with these economic and political theories.

[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.

[BradGroux]

Why do the Ron Paul supporters revert to elementary school antics and slapstick humor to help prove their points? Here is a tip Ron Paul supporters, if you want people to take you seriously speak more eloquently than a 5th grader.

[mhirtes12]

Fred Thompson is now on the record as saying that he will SLASH Social Security to those currently on it. People are already having to make the hard choices between food, rent, and medicine with what little Social Security they get each month, and now this Hillbilly Frankenstein wants to suffocate them even MORE by cutting it back further. I can't believe anyone can be so inhuman to those who are already helpless, and I can't believe how inhumane people can be by supporting this abomination!

[westphalianprinz]

Hillbilly Frankenstein! Excellent. I call him the Cornpone Ronald Reagan wannabe. This guy is a bastard who hates democracy. Democracy gave us social security and the standard of living you and know today. That's why they hate us. They want us to be poor, and for them to be rich.

[rijderunner]

"We were told...The folks in Washington..." Fred! You were a Senator for nearly a decade. Why didn't you do anything more than Thompson-Feingold?! Go fish with Frist!

[sfbmod]

Ron Paul sucks, he's only supported by fraudulant Democrats who want to pretend to support a fake Republican. American-haters only love him because he helps them confuse the issues and divide people. Frauds. I'm going to write in Fred Thompson as my next President even if his name is not on my ballat.

[Bigcool73]

Run Fred Run , You scare the spineless democrats

[AnAppealToHeavenWash]

Wasn't this guy after the Duke boys the other day? Why don't the Republicans just run Boss Hogg instead?

Boss Hogg was a much better actor than this fake fart in the wind.

I think I'll just stick with Ron Paul, M.D., a true statesman.

Go RON PAUL 2008!

Everyone else seems to be more for George Orwell's 1984.

[awksedgreep]

Per Merriam-Webster:

1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

Pay close attention to the suppression of opposition part at the end.

[garytheemt]

Did you forget to read that when you posted it, or are you just slow? Thompson doesn't resemble anything like that description. You think Thompson is forcibly suppressing the opposition? If that's the case, you've lost your grip on reality.

[awksedgreep]

One word

Fascist

Or perhaps two

Fascist Globalist

[garytheemt]

If you actually knew what the word Fascist meant, you'd be smart enough to realize how much of an ass you just made of yourself. Think about what your saying, and maybe next time you won't sound like an ignorant 12 year old.

[westphalianprinz]

Yes, a fascist who serves the interests of the big industrialists and big capital using irrelevant social issues to divide people. That's what fascism is.

[oneslickjackrabbit]

As with all Marxist, Socialist, and Leftists, jimmyratz labels Thompson 'facist' as he cannot figure out any other weasely way to destroy him. This is becuase jimmyratz is a mindless, worthless piece of trash

[jimmyratz]

In another video on You Tube, this asshole Fred Thompson threatens Michael Moore with being sent to an insane asylum because of his recent video that attacks Amerika's health care programs (or lack of).

This policy used to work in the old Soviet Union. Soon the Amerikan facist's will use simular camps for those that dare critize anything about the new Amerika, the United States of Israel.

[garytheemt]

Thompson wasn't threatening Michael Moore. He was pointing out the fact that lefty hero Castro actually did throw a film maker into an insane asylum to silence his oppinion. If the government censoring opposing oppinions is something that bothers you, it's pretty funny that you're praising the USSR in your next sentence. Next time really think about what your saying, and especially think about what your really supporting.

[jimmyratz]

Now you are trying to misinterpret the meaning of my words. I was not as you say praising the USSR but rather bringing to light that they used to send anyone of opposing views to insane asylums, just as the Bush administration will soon be doing. I know what the word Fascist means. I think you better go to a dictionary and write back here exactlly what it means, so that everyone here in You Tube land can see which one of us is an ass, as you say!

[garytheemt]

Oh yea, I heard about Bush's plan to send everyone with opposing views to insane asylums. I read it in an article, right next to the one about Elvis seen flying a UFO to Wendy's, underneath the story about lobsterboy's and ratboy's lobster-rat offspring.

Seriously dude, get a grip.

[cdemo6767]

micheal moore is nothing more than a steaming pile of dung heap making money off the ignorance and fear of uniformed people. Some of you will realise this...hopefully it will not take you that long to understand this. If you love falling for propaganda, hype and conspiracy theories...keep it up, in the end, when the smoke clears ....normal people will still take care of your pathetic sorry asses.

[westphalianprinz]

I with Michael Parenti's definition of fascism. It's yours.

[wheelinco]

This guy is a real Boob, yadda yadd yadda Fred we've heard this crap long enough! brainwasher. Assimilator! RON PAUL 2008

[summitoaks]

do you really think electing another aging white heterosexual republican man is going to change anything. more of the same. gays and minorites rule! make your vote count. stop electing straight white guys - all they want to do is blow things up - and legislate morality.

[britz660]

What would you say if someone said "who in the hell would vote for a gay black man? Intolerance is a two way street and you can goto hell. Go Fred T

All style, no substance Thompson- what's he REALLY offering? The same old dysfunctional ideas. Don't vote for this guy; he's bad for the country, and the world.

[AdmiralAckbarX2]

I don't think it's necesarilly them getting us into bad wars. I think it's them getting us into wars that they continually mismanage and don't plan out properly.

[silkheat]

Why didn't htompson address the real problem of spending, and government theft of the surplus of social security?

[AdmiralAckbarX2]

"O boy another corporate warmonger to pretend to be tough, even though he was a draft dodger in Vietnam."

Your argument has been around as long as war. "He didn't go to war, he isn't fit to lead a country during one!" It's a cowardly argument created to dodge any real issues, and a quite annoying one with a whiney tone at that.

[bassyackers]

Take a deep breath admiral. Why is there a pattern of chickenhawks and draft-dodgers who get us bogged down in tragic wars? I think it's a good question.

[AdmiralAckbarX2]

"I see how it works. Ron Paul wipes the floor with goolinai, so it is now time to wheel out another neo-con to hold up the fort. Funny really - the American public aren't buying that crap anymore."

I'm not sure if you're trying to run a parallel between Guilianni and Thompson or Ron Paul and Thompson. Either way, that's ignorant. And it's the American public isn't, not the American public aren't, for future reference.

[AdmiralAckbarX2]

"Fred Thompson and Giuliani are immoral debased men. If they reach high office our future is in peril."

Why? Because Thompson has been divorced once? That's a terrible excuse to not like him, and an even more terrible excuse to call him immoral. Sometimes marriages don't work out. What's even more, it wasn't even a bitter divorce. Why is Thompson so immoral?

[zwarren69]

O boy another corporate warmonger to pretend to be tough, even though he was a draft dodger in Vietnam.

RON PAUL, FTW!!!

[CE174269]

I see how it works. Ron Paul wipes the floor with goolinai, so it is now time to wheel out another neo-con to hold up the fort. Funny really - the American public aren't buying that crap anymore.

[russwrench65]

Hey Fred,Don't quit your day job(acting),You can make yourself available for the V.P. slot. If you run you will be out by super Tuesday. Let's see how this plays out.

[tobleroneisperfect]

he sounds incoherent

[Busykid2k]

We as Christians must find candidates more suited for leading us into the immoral, Godless future. Fred Thompson and Giuliani are not fit to lead.

[jonedelleman]

Ja, I hope he runs, too. He seems like such a good candidate.

[Busykid2k]

Fred Thompson and Giuliani are immoral debased men. If they reach high office our future is in peril.

[seadame]

GO FRED!!! You will be our Next PRESIDENT.

[baitkenh]

I would never vote for anyone who molested children. And I would never vote for Fred Thompson either. Its time to put "Mark Foley" politics to rest. Us conservatives need to send creepy uncle Thompson back to his Amnesty-loving Hollywood home, before he turns our great nation into California.

[JamCamp06]

His response to Michael Moore tells me all I need to know about this poseur.

[mahalsxygrl]

OK people , the mission has to be finished !!!

1)we need to keep nation-building Eye-Rack into a beacon of democracy coz inside every Sandnigger there is an american waiting to come out.2)we need to keep searching for Sadam's NUKULAR weapons.3)We need to keep punishing those iraqis hijackers who killed 2,973 americans on 9/11, we've already whacked 600,000 of 'em, there r plenty more hijackers left, we aint done yet...God bless our holy mission!

[icarusinbrazil]

So this is the great white hope for the Republican Party? The GOP's charismatic equivalent to Barack Obama? This man doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.

[israelx7]

you are looking at the next president...and charisma has nothing to do with it...

[icarusinbrazil]

The longer the Iraq War continues, the greater the certainty of future Republican defeat.

"israelx7" is right about one thing, and one thing only:

Charisma has nothing to do with it.

[goat909295]

WE CAN'T TRUST REPUBLICANS ON NATIONAL SECURITY. They are committed to building some kind of belated, 21st century American Empire, at the cost of the lives of our guys, and billions of dollars. Whatever candidate is closest to "Walk softly, carry big stick, use it only when you absolutely have to," gets my vote.

[seadame]

He is my hero.

[sam911111]

ron paul sucks viva hugo chavez libertad o muerte

[AnAppealToHeavenWash]

Fred Thompson has been a VIACOM, Westinghouse, CBS, ABC insider lobbyist and washington consultant for a long, long time. Just check out wikipedia.

DR. RON PAUL, M.D. admits that he is in the pocket of one special interest. Her name is Lady "Liberty"!

Watch the video and be inspired: 6O7D7nDF0U8

[stewart0312]

Another Republican who wants to keep the War in Iraq going and possibly start new wars with Iran. GOP campaign contributors like Halliburton, Blackwater and Guidance Soft are in the business of War and suffering. If there is peace, their share price falls.

[nhudson35]

This guy is scary. I'm going to work my butt off to make sure we don't get another dumbass like him in office.

[minutemanjs]

lol, get a life man. you don't know what this country needs. you're just hurting future generations with your blind faith.

[nhudson35]

Blind faith is faith without reason. I do my best to lead a life with reasonable faith-- in my leaders and in God. I've lost faith in politicians with soundbytes, and in many of the policies of our current administration. I have little faith in our current president, and, like our current president, Fred Thompson is full of the same shit. So yes, he is a dumbass. My faith in that is definitely not blind. :)

[thebr33ze]

This guy is such an idiot. "If they're only given the chance" ... what the hell is that supposed to even mean? Seriously, DO NOT VOTE FOR HIS GUY!

Fear monger.

As I see it so far, Fred Thompson is my front-runner for Persident

[SergioMomarsh]

Because he's a fear monger who sells an endlesss war against radical extremism, and the typical Republican banter about Social Security.

[ctownroo]

I agree.

[stewart0312]

[SergioMomarsh]

Yay for the politics of hopelessness and fixing 'social security.'

[slappy1234567]

Read Pat Buchanan's Death of the West. The revolution that is occurring is a bloodless one. The Mexican's main weapon is not the M16 or the Kalashnikov, but his reproductive organ. Mexicans are out-reproducing North American whites at a fantastic rate. You can't hope to compete with Mexican families that have 5 to 10 kids by continuing to plan your families with the "enlightened" principle of just having 1 or two kids. It is simple math.

[greyghost472003]

This man has the courage to speak the truth. I can only hope he or Ron Paul can get the nomination and get these spineless, one world government slaves out of Washington. (CLINTON,BUSH,OBAMA,KENNEDY,PE­LOSI,AND ALL THAT I CANT NAME!)

[ericcalderon2]

While I appreciate Mr. Thompson's acknowledgment that America's electorate yearn confrontation and debate over specific and substantive policy issues there exist for me the underlying skepticism about his ability to create such an environment from within a party so obviously corrupted by a Bush dynasty whose values are antithetical to the ones extolled by our founders.

[scott715]

Ron Paul 2008

[HalRogers2000]

Millions of illegal immigrants are NOT going to foot the bills described by Thompson. In fact, they are a net DRAIN on these resources.

If people don't want to hear what Fred Thompson is predicting, fine, but that doesn't negate the validity of his observations.

[headbutt34]

This guy is a dummy!

[devildogger]

How so?

[bushidocrusader]

Yes. Tightening the borders is an obvious must. But that has little effect on the other issue he talked about - which was entitlement reform.

Our Social Security System is simply insolvent, and becuase of our aging population, we simply will not have enough people working to pay for what we "owe" to people retiring now. Illegal immigrants can't fill the gap, either(and there are only so many jobs to go around, too).

The System must be completely overhauled to remain solvent.

[badperson3]

I didn't get what he was saying. He wants to tighten the borders, but he's worried about a shrinking workforce?

[Heatwave22]

There is no contradiction. Why would we not want to stop illegals from coming into our country? Most, do not pay any taxes on their wages, while sucking up social services and free health care that they contribute nothing to.

[jonedelleman]

badperson, he pointed out that we must tighten the borders, but we need the workers. That imples that he advocates a viable solution to the problem. Just giving amnesty does not work because then there will be another 14 Million who want to cxome.

I think we should just buy Mexico and its incompetent, corrupt politicians and give them all green cards - but they MUST learn English.

[bushidocrusader]

Very, VERY nice. Straight talk. Actual straight, frank talk and common sense. This is exactly what we need.

And how happy I was to hear the first major candidate endorse what 70% of the American people have said they want in poll after poll:

A common-sense ENFORCEMENT FIRST border policy.

Very nice, Mr. Thompson. Please please run.
