Republican National Convention Fred Thompson Speech pt3

[timcp1]

"[O]ur citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament, or the Christian religion.”—Noah Webster, Noah Webster, History of the United States (New Haven: Durrie & Peck, 1832), p. 339, “Advice to the Young,"

[Claronium780]

John McCain = a decent person who served America, but VISION - come on !!!! seriously !!!!!!!

[Claronium780]

Obama actually wasn't either the most liberal or inexperienced nominee for President ever

[rightwingrocks]

@Claronium780 actually he was

[Claronium780]

Fred Thomson is so right, being able to talk/communicate well is SUCH a bad thing !

[chasmcrown]

Obama is the anti-christ

[Stogie999]

RUSSIA LOVES MCCAIN!!!!!!!

[goplaybaseballfattie]

sike me no lik mcain OBAMA

[CusterApollo]

Actually Russia like Obama. In their latest poll over there, something like 36% of Russians wanted to see Obama elected to McCain's 4%. Why would Russia want Obama elected? Because they know Obama won't do anything when they start attacking other countries in the future.

[objectivethirdparty]

"stogie"--Don't say something so stupid. McCain's not the one who's primary audience is OVERSEAS--particularly possible terrorists and others who hate America.

Obama is a man who refuses to salute our nation's flag--a sick individual.

McCain is a man who CANNOT salute our flag because of his war heroics.

There's obviously no doubt about which candidate deserves our votes. It's not the two-faced liar who smiles his way through dodging questions and issues and contradicting himself.

[Poe397]

In the words of Winston Churchill..I quote,"If you are not a Liberal by the time you are 20, you have no heart,..If you are not a conservative by the time you are 30,you have no brain.."Im 44 by the way..McCain-Palin 08..

[JBham62]

I like the "Democrats are going to take water out of their side of the bucket" line - very clever.

[JamieLee212]

How did the Republican promote the convention themes of "country first".??????

sr if this question is stupid but please tell me.xD

[objectivethirdparty]

"jamie"--Maybe because the goal is to put our country first---not the Obamas' unconstitutional desire to make abortion and infanticide as accessible as possible; not judicial tyranny; not gay marriage; nor anything else that unconstitutional and, honestly, nazi-like.

We don't need Obama as a president. We don't need him anywhere near the White House. He attends a racist church, has links to terrorists, hates this country, and wants you to vote for him anyway. Don't let his smile fool you.

[JamieLee212]

hello this is "jamie" thanks for telling me what the goal of country first.

and thank you for the comment.

P.S

Obamas smile didnt fool me.

LOl

[objectivethirdparty]

Jamie--Your typing is incoherent and horrible. By the way, you were fooled long before Obama's smile.

[JamieLee212]

why r u so mean?!

iam so sr that my typing is incoherent and horrible.

and by the way iam not fooled by obama smile. u don't even know me

how do u know that iam "fooled long before obama's smile"

iam like 10 year old

i don't really care about who is winning

and i have a feeling that u r going to say something mean to me or spam me.

will u know what im so sr.

and if you really want to reply this comment

will dont do it cause i dont want to talk to u any more becaues ur so mean!!!!

[JamieLee212]

who just you think win this debate so far?

and did the debate change the way you think about Sen .John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama?

[Jeffkovich]

Obama's policies are nazi-like? If you knew anything about politics you should know that at the far right of politics is Nazi politics. The republicans are in the middle of the right wing. As for Obama having links to terrorists you clearly believe everything you see on TV.

[DrivenMind]

ObjectiveThirdParty you are so dangerously out of touch with reality its truly terrifying.

[mycolebee]

Vote McSame & Payforit 2008!

[theaznfishy]

Fred Thompson is a great speaker- and he put the democratic economic policies in the best analogy possible: A bucket.

[davidFranchi]

All this people talking at this convention seem like they are just joking all the time about serious problems and that seems what makes them popular among the republicans, so I guess you need to be a good comedian to become a good republican president.

[davidFranchi]

Republicans wants war only because they get money back in their business selling weapons, fuel, etc. Go look up how many billions people involved in those business make on our ass.

[theaznfishy]

wow that's a pretty misinformed statement. Assuming all Republicans are corporate [hence promoting the war to get money], they're actually just losing money. Look at the market- we're in a time of inflation, we have what appears to be a recession, etc. As John Adams has pointed out- when a governments economy fails, so does everybody else corporate or otherwise.

[1Obamapresident1]

The republican convention from my perspective was BORING...FULL OF REDNECKS, OLD PEOPLE, STUBBORN RICH FOLKS...WHO ONLY LOOK OUT FOR THEMSELVES...AND well take deSpErate measures to win....(palin) complete joke...

OBAMA-BIDEN! 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davidFranchi]

You are right, I know some republicans and they are exactly what you said REDNECKS, OLD PEOPLE, STUBBORN some of the RICH, but I know one young guy who is a republican that is young and from a northen family, I never understood why he's a republican since he's GAY and they are completely against his rights.

[UglySailormoon]

Most Republicans HATE WOMEN in power and DENY them of choice, rights and equal pay.

The REASON why Mccain chose Palin = he thinks women are stupid enough to vote on gender? That's undermining our intelligence.

Palin and Mccain is AGAINST WOMEN's rights and equality. NOTICE how Palin's speech says "man" so many times to please the Republicans...and there were no talk about female empowerment ...no talk being the first FEMALE VP. so to not tick off Chauvenistic Republicans.

[ednorandrewrowe]

That sure is ugly, uglysailormoon. It is Obama who didn't pick OR vette Hilary; Bill, a serial adulterer / woman beater merging on rapist; objectifying women, staining dresses in the oval office. Liberals shamed, found most unfavorable, suggestive photos possible of Condy Rice, 1st. black woman & sec. of state...And who help kill black, poor and female babies through tax-funded "Planned Parenthood" of Amer., which, incidentally, taught China; now girl babies are murdered due to 1 child policy.

[realtruthtoday]

Your post is so stupid Ugly Sailormoon, females have a lot more power than males. They always have. They have the power to go shopping with their husband's/sugardaddy's money/paycheck while he is off getting killed on battlefields from Fort Sumpter to Bagdad. Women's empowerment has always far exceeded men's.

[objectivethirdparty]

"realliestoday"--What a sickening comment. First of all, I have nothing against women, just sorry feminists like yourself.

As for women being "powerful", how do you explain their indecisiveness and their consistencies in running to their man for his advice on everything?

Your light comment about soldiers getting killed is beyond sorry. You're a sick, sorry individual who's not fit to be a wife or mother. A lady needs to slap your horrible face.

[objectivethirdparty]

"reallies..."--I just refuted totally your sorry, nazi-like post, you horrible excuse for a human being. I want those on this page to see this comment and refer to the first page to see how I put you--a sorry, worthless excuse for a human being, someone who's totally unworthy of being a wife or mother-- in her place, just like I put my garbage in my outside trash can--no disrespect to the garbage.

[marinegrunt0341]

Please, your party of radical feminists are bitching and criticizing Palin by saying she has too many children who need her help, and that she can't take care of them if she is vice president. How hypocritical of the democrats. You claim to promote equality, yet when a person is Republican you change you change your principles. Go ask a Obama if he can take care of his children as President. Better yet go ask him if he is qualified for the job.

[atgault]

You have a lot of hate in your soul...why don't you go back to being a Obot and leave this site. It is only for people that want good change....and not obots policies...peace

[RockyBalboa211]

Obama is to young and to inexperience, maybe in another 4 years it will be his time but now it is Mr. McCains turn, GOD BLESS MCCAIN and AMERICA!!

[124Wiseone]

(Disclosure)I am an Obama supporter. Palin's supporters seem very racist. The republicans speeches are very caustic. I feel if they are as caustic to world leaders as they are towards Obama, we will stay at war. American leaders must take the chp off their shoulders if we expect to facilitate world peace. I hope the young people who volunteer community service do not feel it's of no value

[elchaso]

In ths whole speech it wasn't until 16 minutes into this speech did this redneck hillbilly mention anything other than McCains future eulogy and draining America's wetlands. We need a President who believes in what is right, the economy is sick. It is time to clean house of the old political players and turn a new leaf. Thompson said it right when our country is calling, but not for McCain, our country is calling for CHANGE!!!!

[Greenmarine6]

wow only 12,000 views...oh thats rite I forgot Us Republicans are working making the country better while the Liberals set on their ass at their computer desk doing nothing. God I can't wait till the Republicans have the congress and the White house again. TOTAL reform!!!!!!

[richcap1]

All you lib commie pinko's and idiot Obama are toast. We have a ticket that can't be beat because it is a ticket Real Americans (the majority of us) can relate to. This is one of personal responsibility, accountability,independence and FREEDOM from government intervention in our lives.

[imapotato3]

go democrats mccain sucks go obamma he will make our county better

[kstearns921]

wow, how insightful!

this wonderful soundbyte is just a regurgitation of what has been shoveled out by the media. maybe you should check the facts potato-person.

[imapotato3]

sry cant talk doing homework...im still 13 okay but even a 13 ear old know obama is the right candidate

[kstearns921]

your 13! its good that your interested in politics at such a young age.But i really hope that you look into the facts and actual platforms of each candidate. I mean, where do you get most of you information?Probably the news, and the majority of this comes from the associated press or is delivered by media-personalities who are predominantly democratic. This is a statistic from a national poll of newscasters. They vote overwhelmingly, as in over 90% democratic.

[imapotato3]

mmk. well most of my information comes from the speeches. hwoever i gotta go so cant talk for now :P

[shithawks1991]

"A man who never quits is never defeated"

[rlportillo]

FANTASTIC!

[assmongrel]

oh man, he's orange

[ryanjurek]

That was one heck of a speech.  Way to go Fred!!

[jayne56011]

Good goin' Fred!

[iamway2bz]

I'm so sick of the race card being played.

It does nothing but divide the Sheeple.

[iamway2bz]

That will never happen. You must be a US Citizen 35 yrs of age to be president. Not a Mexican or any other nationality. Maybe someone of Hispanic heritage can win in 30 or 40 years. Will you be here to vote for them? I won't. US Racial and Ethnic Demographics 2000 Census Non-Hispanic White: 68% of population Hispanic: 15% African American: 12% Asian American: 5% 2050 census projections Non-Hispanic White: 46% of population Hispanic: 30% African American: 15% Asian American: 9%

[elimonjal]

I saw the republican convention, but I didn't see America there, just a bunch of white rich people. no big groups of blacks, hispanics, vietnamese, filipino, etc. you should go to the malls, stores, streets of any city in America so you see the REAL America, you guys are 40 years ago, remember television in the 50's it was lily white, just like your convention!! this country is changing, its full of menorities, don't be surprised if someday you will vote for a Mexican, or Vietnamese President

[LarsMacans]

Boy, what a well thought reply to a great speech.

You must be a Obamacon, aka, an Idiot.

[mikejonesgr]

I agree, I can't wait to vote for Bobby Jindal/Steele.

[tuberanasuarus]

How is it that you know the RNC is "just a bunch of white rich people"? I didn't see any information regarding their bank accounts or investment portfolios. You are drunk at the Democratic punch bowl. The wealthy Dems want to keep their constituents uneducated, poor, and dependent on government. And your racist remark, "no big groups of blacks, hispanics, vietnamese, filipino, etc." isn't worthy of a response. Will you Democrats ever drop the emotional hype, and get to the real ISSUES? Please!!!

[jayne56011]

...a bunch of rich white people? Uh, yeah right.

[deewillyfree]

Fantastic speech ... right on the money.

McCain~*~Palin 08

[wickiesworld]

I am sorry let me get this straight. Did you say Television in the 40s and 50s. Have you by chance seen television now. Not really much change. (Unfortunately)

[chroniccomics5]

McCian should just start bringing up 9/11 and making a big deal out of the vicious islamic terrorist bastards that want to kill you all. and then he should say something like, "the democrats dont want me to bring this up, they will say Im fearmongering, well is THIS fear mongering??" then the screen shows the twin towers burning, "no my fellow Americans, thats not fear mongering that is the reality of the world we live in, Im not gonna let these murdering bastards kill us, but Obama WILL!"

[THEMeMyselfAndI]

Yeah, and Al Gore invented the internet and is going to save the planet. You want technology, you better have a strong economy and military. I was working on your precious "TomTom" and the latest in wireless network security while your mother was still changing your diapers...in the military! Of course Slick Willy made a career in the military less than desirable, so that ended in relative short order.

[XxApocalyptaXx]

Trust me, you didn't.

[XxApocalyptaXx]

Maybe conservatives believe in me keeping my technology, but what the hell does it amount to if it's just another PowerPoint presentation?

[THEMeMyselfAndI]

Or maybe I did read it the right way. Substance not flash should be the center of attention. I'll take a ratty dollar bill over a shiny quarter any day.

[johnachilles123]

republicans established the power of this country once again..and Mc Cain could lead us more because he is a patriot! Obama is a gamble we will lose!

[Vaplayacometoplay]

yeah at least conservative believe in letting you keep your technology. Liberals will make a tech dept so they can improve technology. What happens if you create a new technology? liberals believe you should give that tech to the people because they believe everyone is the same. Sorry, not everyone is the same. We need to wake up and believe that govt is the answer to everything. Less govt, less them up your ass

~Mccain/sexy Palin 08

[kingcobra101z]

Liberals do not mind the movement forward on technology just so long as they have it on their terms. The basic premise of liberalism today is bigger gov. Of course it didn't use to be this way. Hell it use to be that liberalism was a watered down version of conservatism the differences being that liberals wanted mixed ecnomic and conservatives wanted capitalism. Liberals of toaday have shamed what is was to be one of yester year and have single handledly ass fucked the US gov.

[XxApocalyptaXx]

Please. I didn't say that you should vote based on who has cooler graphics; I was just saying that Republicans need to learn how to get tech-savy. I guess you guys should also learn how to read comments the right way, too.

[XxApocalyptaXx]

*savvy

[johnachilles123]

hit the democrats! they are losing their mind with obama! geez? let a monakey run this country is scary!

[THEMeMyselfAndI]

Because we all should vote for the candidate with the coolest graphics! Were you dropped on your head?

[XxApocalyptaXx]

And the Republicans are so damn tacky too. All they have to offer technologically at the RNC is a goddamn PowerPoint slideshow of pictures. At least the DNC had cool graphics.

[XxApocalyptaXx]

These Republican neo-Conservatives win by dumbing down the American population. You can tell just by looking at the people composing the RNC convention in the speech: dumbass rednecks.

[XxApocalyptaXx]

A few facts about the Republicans balancing the budget back in the '90's. First, it was Bill Clinton who pushed for a balanced budget: that was the whole point of his campaigns in 1992 and 1996. Second, if the Republicans were so good at balancing the budget during the Clinton era, then why the hell did they lead us to a deficit under the Bush era immediately after?

[omgmyhead]

mccain ftw!!!!

[glen6eck]

Just hear carefully at the end of the speach from Mr. FT: "...God bless Mc-Bush...Mc-Bush BLESS AMERICA"??? Come on...ARE YOU SERIOUS??? LOL...LOL

[SICKEMBOY760]

Im watching the convention, its a joke! are we really supposed to believe these republicans lies? Im voting for Obama! probably because i hate Bush and his regime!

[darkmsy18]

What lies?

[brittonvs]

and thats just it. you don't know anything. all you hear is negative comments and i doubt you think for yourself. figures that the very average person will vote to your likes.

[JOHNIM826]

really admit u dont want obama because he stands for what u whites are not naturally dominant in build you white mofos make me sick and i hope you all die from melanoma and ur kids also sunblock that devils

[kissel85]

you're a mindless idiot. you don't know what obama stands for and you don't even know what you stand for

[seductiveangel07]

You can't really be that ignorant? And to me you sounds alil' racist to me. But let me get this straight, when Blacks/Hispanics talk shit about Whites, its funny, but if Whites talk shit about other races, they're racist...

Hun, wake the fuck up.

[OMGLOLWTFSTFU]

thompson OWNED obama ....... wooo!!

[Dadoo1123]

You wish. There was as much substance to his speech as cotton candy. It was like watching a bad play.

[thebushidoka]

First...if things aren't that bad, (vid. 1), why is it more important than ever to have a strong leader? That's an irrelevant rhetorical question.

Next, I respect McCain's service, but I'm not sure I trust him after the thusfar of his campaign.

Finally, I don't understand how anyone can brag about character and about how their candidates are being picked on when their candidate is John McCain and has been on the attack since day 1. Obama has yet to run one non-issues based ad...

[CusterApollo]

Campaigns always say that. The point is President is important every time.

And the GOP is stating that it is more important because if Obama is elected he will destroy the country, the military and business. Obama is what threatens America.

[thebushidoka]

Thanks for replying...but now I have to ask...

Why will pulling out of a war that neither country really supports and starting to again center our resources instead of spreading them all over creation destroy the middle-east destroy the military?

Why will creating systems to force big businesses to either start "trickling down" or get their own cream removed by force destroy business?

How will Obama destroy America? Please use examples from his actual plans and not McCain's straw-man of them.

[CusterApollo]

Obama will pull out of Iraq before complete victory is achieved and this makes us look bad in the world, demoralizes the military and the country, and boosts our enemies resolve.

Obama will tax the hell out of businesses and this will result in higher prices for goods and less jobs, and possibly the closure of businesses and their move to other countries. Liberal regulations kill business.

The Middle East will be left to the terrorists and Iraq could fall to become a new terrorist haven.

[JefferyT]

Amen.

[schusterlehrling]

lol entering iraq made you look bad. Weapons od mass desctruction. We all know where they were. And other allies id the US SAID there were none, but Bush and Rumsfeld called them liars. They have not apologized until now. And: guess which country has the most stock of WMD. The USA. So, if WMD allow to attack a country as "protection", then any country may legally attack the USA. That's the international law the Bush Government established. It is a threst to the USA, nothing else.

[ExabOO]

Fred Thompson--a man stupid enough to marry his own concubine.

Fred Thompson-A man too lazy to campaign for himself for president.

Fred Thompson-A man who buys diapers wholesale.

Fred Thompson-A man who fathered his own grand children.

Fred Thompson-A man who sleeps with SpongeBob and Patrick toys under his belly.

Fred Thompson-A man who mixes Viagra in his Kool Aid

Fred Thompson-Frankenberrys God father.

He CAN get it up once in a while.

Ending the war might save the U.S. a few dollars

[silverado7163]

I've been a life long democrat, but after 8 years of Clinton chasing skirts around the White House, almost impeached and now Obama. Is Obama the best the dems can come up with?

[isis40]

I have been a life long dem but will vote for McCain...so liberal his own party did not want him.Hillary reflected my values, but Obama and his cult followers don't,I wont follow Obama,he rode over the pop vote Hillary won,the sweetie comments to Hillary and the fact that his followers told the Dems working class, women,Hillary supporters and those making below 250k they're not welcome or needed.Well I have 4 degrees, taught at SIUC,own a business and I work!Let them do it without us,without me.

[daniellerose7]

On McCain's character/military experience/support:

I urge you to investigate McCain's official voting records on the website of the US Senate. Yeah, those ones where he voted against funding for veterans health care and funding for US military troops abroad. Repeatedly.

This speech- as I'm sure many in this convention will- and the racist, uninformed YouTube comments that are inevitably under them bring me to think of Goethe's quote: "There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action."

[halvertroy]

"conservatives" leave no room for other ideas, other ways of doing things. "liberals" aren't so specific, they have room for everyone, even someone with "conservative" views. what would you rather?

[jimper17]

liberals leave plenty of room because they dont actually have any ideas. If you disagree with liberals, you immediately become a racist, sexist, homophobic, war monger who hates old people and puppies. Give em credit though, still spewing the same lame socialist ideas of the 60's and fooling ignorant americans that its about change. brilliant

[NightsBullet]

Amen

[hotdog1960]

Folks, Barry Obama makes my ass chew tobacco. Male Pouch, Red Man, Big Twist from Mammoth Cave..Take your Pick!!!

[everclear010]

Hussein Obama claims to have leadership and experience because he ran his campaign for a year and a half. So how will that help him against Mahmoud Amadinejad, Vladimir Putin and that pineapple face Hugo Chavez? McCain-Pallin is such a no-brainer I don't understand how anyone can vote for someone that associates with a known terrorist and slum Lord in Chicago and the other one has been in Congress since Nixon. Can someone tell me how is having Joe Biden a "change"?

[PatriotLogan]

Fred has echoed the spirit of true conservatism and impressed many of us. God bless America!

[rankim]

way better than the obama "historic" speech. i loved the part about obama being a history maker by being the most liberal candidate in history!

[xPACOxTACOx]

all I can see is go mccain and go thompson!

[MacGyver7640]

Wow, where did this Thompson come from? Guess you get a lot of energy when you nap through a primary season...great speech.

[doctorkazoo]

Yeah...he SLEPT through his own campaign! I'm glad he's awake now though! Great, historical speech! Go McCain! And I hope everyone ignores what that fool "Right4JohnMcCain" typed. He is NOT the voice of true Republicans.

[salsaisgood]

wow its people like you that make me never want to be a republican... fuck women??? isnt your VP a woman? fuck catholics? arent a majority of conservatives catholic? really mature

[fairtaxhtown]

Um, this guy should be called Trolls4McCain...

[saveGOP]

obviously thats not a real republican. real republicans dont say fuck women, fuck catholics ect..

[spidermonkeyh2l]

Basically, the Republican party is a smear campaign against the Democrats. That's all they do *rolls eyes*

[GhaleonNow]

Yeah, the Democrats haven't attempted to smear BUSH/MCCAIN one bit. It's ALL the right's fault.

Lol, at least Republicans know what they are.

[spidermonkeyh2l]

Yes. Monsters.

[thebushidoka]

Republicans and democrats both want to be victims who perpetrate the crimes of their (self-inflicted) oppressors.

I'd point out that McCain has run ads attacking Obama on non-campaign issues, but Obama has not reciprocated.

That said, I'm ashamed of the way both parties are conducting themselves...

[Nightcap68]

or a vast improvement.

[CPAsheldon]

"John McCain led efforts to make reform happen" and that is why he likes Sarah Palin who stands up for what is right and takes action to change it.

[Dadoo1123]

So, let us elect a man who can not remember what he said five minutes ago.

The Congress could not get anything done because the republicans cause history creating amount of filibusters.

The Dems will tax business that close shop and open factories over seas. Was he not listening?

Let us not forget it was 12 yrs of a Republican Congress and 8 yrs of Bush that cause all these problems. It not like this all happend in 2yrs. These problems were cause by conservatives.

[jrssjdca]

The line about the teleprompter speech was great.

[osutitan1327]

The line about taxes and businesses is excellent. Spot on.

[HenryJonas2]

i know! fred thompson was soo good
