bullocks. Barak conveniently says he was against the war in iraq but he wasn't a senator when people voted on this. once he was a senator he voted to keep funding the war just like hillary. barak is a great speak and thats about it. Ron Paul 2008
Fred Thompson is such a personable guy...so is Bush. To a real conservative, that means nothing. Whats between his ears? WHat is his thoughts? To that, we look to books and essays he has written over the years and look to his record. It merits a C-, just like George Bush. Dr. Paul gets an A++. Go Ron.
This muddy-sounding video is earnest enough. I really like the announcer at the beginning. Hint to the production: Move the mic closer to the speaker. Too bad their subject was a goul like Thompson. Yichhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Senator Thompson voted to allow firms to lay off Americans to make room for foreign workers in 1998
Before the Senate passed the H-1B doubling bill(S.1723), Sen. Thompson had an opportunity to vote for a Kennedy amendment that would have prohibited U.S. firms from using temporary foreign workers to replace Americans. Sen. Thompson opposed that protection. The Amendment failed 38-60. Google his profile at NumbersUSA.
Senator Thompson voted to allow firms to lay off Americans to make room for foreign workers. Before the Senate passed the H-1B doubling bill (S.1723), Sen. Thompson had an opportunity to vote for a measure requiring U.S. firms to check a box on a form attesting that they had first sought an American worker for the job.
Senator Thompson voted in committee against including
worker safeguards in H-1B bill. Thompson joined 9 Senate colleagues to keep employee safeguards from inclusion in S.1723. A Kennedy-Feinstein Amendment would have accomplished two important goals: ensuring no American was laid off or displaced prior to hiring an H1B employee; and, that employers demonstrate they had previously taken timely and effective steps to hire a qualified American. 10 Senators helped defeat this amendment.
Thompson helped the Senate pass S.1723 which increased by nearly 150,000 the number of foreign workers high-tech American companies could hire over the next three years. Although foreign workers receive temporary visas for up to six years, most historically stay permanently in the US. Thompson voted for more foreign workers even though U.S. high tech workers over the age of 50 were suffering 17% unemployment and U.S. firms were laying off thousands of workers at the time.
Thompson was a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that created the Abraham H-1B doubling bill in 1998, S.1723. He voted with the 12-6 majority to send the bill to the floor of the Senate without safeguards for American workers. Google Thompson NumbersUSA.
Sen.Thompson voted for S.2045, the Abraham foreign worker bill to nearly triple the number of foreign high-tech workers. On the heels of the release of a GAO report finding no proof of a high-tech worker shortage and evidence of abuse in the H-1B program, Sen. Thompson voted for this foreign worker bill that contained no worker protections or anti-fraud measures. The bill passed the Senate 96-1. Google Thompson NumbersUSA.
Fred Thompson = liberal. Prochoice lobbyist, divorced, doesn't go to church regularly. Do not trust this man, Giuliani is truthful about his positions. Giuliani 08!
I say again, Would you please give me CLEAR EXAMPLES of how we are living in a so-called "Police State?" You give emotional arguments with no facts or EXAMPLES. Let me show you what "example" means: "Joe Smith in Anytown, NY was arrested for criticizing the government."
Well, you have given me clear examples of your crude language. Would you please give me CLEAR examples of how we are living in a so-called "Police State?" What part of the Bill of Rights has been assaulted? Freedom of the Press? Speech? Gun ownership? Rights of Assembly? Religion? Searches or seizures? You give emotional arguments with no facts or examples. A "Police State" is a serious accusation, yet you have NO proof. You simply have a dirty little mouth.
My "Chavez" comment was a bit of sarcasm. Venezuela is an example of a country becoming a police state. My comments about the press being harassed and TV and radio stations being closed are examples of what occurs in a police state (as in Venezuela). The Patriot Act has not led to anything of the sort. If President Bush has created a police state, then he is doing one heck of a lousy job silencing his critics, and arresting his opponents.
I'm sorry that I am an idiot. Perhaps you could explain what you meant by "guarantee of continuance of the police state." I thought you meant that we were living in a police state.
Police State? Oh, you mean because of the American citizens being rounded up and put in prison. The same Police State that has quashed all forms of protest and criticism against it. TV and radio stations have been shut down, reporters have been harassed... oh wait. That's Venezuela's left-wing President, Hugo Chavez --- good friend of Joe Kennedy.
It's sad that you resort to name calling. There is nothing emotional about my responses. There is not debate here. It is simply racist to call Sec. Rice what you have repeatedly called her. I am sorry you think it is appropriate to call ANYONE that name.
Pretty shallow racist comment. CR is intelligent and if you disagree with her I would expect you to do so in a way that was coherent and not bigoted. You are a shame to yourself.
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.
I don't think Rice would be a good fit because she takes a much softer stance on foreign policy than Fred though if I heard that they were going to run together I would be happy.
Don't be foolish, real Conservatives have Ron Paul to vote for. If Ron Paul--a real conservative with books and essays and a ten year track record does not get your vote, then to hell with it, Hillary/Obama can have mine.
Spoken like a TRUE Libertarian: "If I don't get my way, I'm taking my toys and going home." A REAL conservative would NEVER allow "Hillary/Obama" to be their choice.
Ron Paul, M.D. because we need a doctor to heal us; not a blood sucking lawyer who wants to empty our pockets and make us slaves to his special interests.
"There is but one special interest that we should be working for, and that would solve just about all of our problems, and that is our Liberty." --Dr. Ron Paul, M.D.
Spoonfed mass media hype. Paul does not "blame" the US as the US is "We The People". Paul blames US foreign policy dating back to Woodrow Wilson. His assertion is backed by our own CIA.
this guy is such an empty shirt. i've watched him "perform" on every news/entertainment program & online since interest in him began, & this boob has said absulutely NOTHING. people, please wake up! the right wants to believe he is the 2nd coming of reagan. he did nothing of significance when in the senate, & like bush will rise to the level of his incompetence if elected.
First, educate yourself. Our government and the multi-national corporations are controlled by the issuers of money. Namely, the Federal Reserve, World Banks, IMF and the Rothschild Banks. Vote Ron Paul and abolish the Federal Reserve.
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.
Why does he belong to the group that is credited for writing the bulk of G.W.Bush's administration policies? American Enterprise Institute. It's hard enough trusting a Lawyer, but a 18 year lobbyist for G.E. and Westinghouse? Close affiliations with 2 major media outlets? Neocon
fred is not a neocon. fred is an old-school republican, unlike bush, who IS a neocon. Most of the current republican canditates are neocons, which is why nobody's really happy. don't lump all republicans into the "neocon" group. it's like saying all democrats are "god-hating homosexuals," which is far from the truth.
"The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an influential and independent, nonpartisan foreign policy membership organization founded in 1921" - First sentence... I guess it couldn't hurt to READ something before you post a page to it. btw is that a Kenna reference in your SN? If so, muchos props.
Yeppers......Party affiliation means absolutely nothing. The mantra of the neocon is exposed. They are represented by big media and corporate agenda. Then they are pushed upon the people as if there were no other choice. Fortunately we have the internet now to help educate us. The question now remains as to how many will educate themselves and those around them to the dangers of fascism America faces.
So now Fred Thompson is a fascist? You obviously know nothing about the man. If you hate him because of what he is, that's fine. But don't go around making shit up, then hate him for that. That's ign'ant.
Yeah!!! Go Fred!!!
