In the 2000 Republican presidential primaries, Thompson initially backed former Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander, who eventually succeeded Thompson in the Senate, two years later. When Alexander dropped out of the presidential race, Thompson endorsed Senator John McCain's bid and became his national co-chairman.[48] Both McCain and Thompson were contenders to be George W. Bush's running mate in 2000.[49][50]
john135246: You say I missed the last part!? I WROTE THE LAST PART!!! You are too liberally blind to even understand what that last part means. The Dems and libs are have their head so far up in "no-man's land", it's so easy to see why they can't figure out why they are always WRONG!
john135246: I did not think some people could be so dense. When I wrote "That was directed at you", it points out that John Kerry was referring to people (YOU) who join the military. Listen to what bin Laden says on his video. He just repeats what the liberals and democrats say. The libs and dems just preach what bin Laden want us to do!
john135246: I think in your case, Jonn Kerry might have been right. Unbelievable. Jonn Kerry right about something. You dems and libs are so blind and ignorant, it's scary. Listen to bin Laden's newest video. He says almost exactly what all the libs and dems say - verbatim! You and the rest of the dems and libs are all on the same side as bin Laden.
john135246: Again, your liberal ignorance and tunnel vision is proven. You interpret everything you read the way you want it to read, not the way it is. You said I called you uneducated and lazy. AGAIN, I will show you what I wrote and WHO said that:
"Kerry even said a few months ago that people who join the military are uneducated and lazy".
john135246: I support the Veterans that fought for America and continue to love and back up our country. One of my best friends served in the Army for 13 years (he was part of the "Ghost Squad"). He is someone that deserves to be called a true veteran. He fought for his country and still stand behind it. He doesn't come back home and brag about serving while trashing his country. Those who do that don't deserve shit.
john135246:Your liberal blindness is already apparent. You choose what you want to see. When Kerry came back from Vietnam, he sat in court and accused his fellow soldiers of committing war crimes while we were still in war. Vetnam heard these accusations and kept Americans prisoners much longer. Kerry even said a few months ago that people who join the military are uneducated and lazy. That was directed at you.
john135246: Kerry came back from Vietnam, stabbed each and every fellow soldier he served with, caused extended imprisonment and harsher torture, and Kerry is honored in a Ho Chi Minh museum for helpin THEM beat US in the Vietnam war. And Kerry is the liberal and Democat hero, along with Clinton who gave China information about our missiles (Chinagate).
john135246: FYI; I come from several generations of Marines; I was born in Camp Pendleton, CA. I tried to enlist in the Marines, the Army, then Navy and was not allowed because of a serious accident I had in the past. You are another "fals" veteran like Kerry: Come back and brag about your service, but turn around and trash your country.
john135246: You apparently didn't watch the Republican debate last night. Only one wants to pull out (Ron Paul) and he's not even actually a Republican - he's a libertarian.
john135246: You libs never fail to prove what idiots you are. You have no idea why I wasn't allowed to serve. You don't know how hard I tried. You don't know if I am missing a leg or arm from a previous accident or anything. Even though you know nothing about me, you call people names to feel better and smarter. All you liberals are the same.
john135246: Oh, OK. Democrats never break the law. Carter and Clinton never really set up wire tapping. They both actually did, but you didn't hear the Republicans crying about it. It was something to protect our country. That's the real difference between Rep & Dems. The Rep are fighting for the country we love. The Dems are dividing and weakening our country at a time when we need to be united.
john135246_sarapenny: America is the greatest country on this planet; people like you want the freedom to trash it and get upset when your freedoms to trash it get threatened. There are people, like Seekster, who love this country and are tired of listening to people like you trash it. I stand with Seekter.
john135246_sarapenny: Do the both of you feel upset because you might be targeted as a enemy combatant? Are you scared your anti-American, liberal rants might be misinterpreted by our government as a danger to our country? Maybe you aren't brigh enough to figure that all the crap spewed by the libs and dems are a threat to our country. Instead of backing our country at a time of of war, you are emboldening the enemy.
john135246:I put down in type. I guess you can't read through your liberal glasses. If someone is preaching the same crap Islamic radicals are (just like the liberals are), those people are the only ones who need to worry. When Bush signed the Military Commissions Act of 2006, it granted the President unlimited authority in establishing and conducting military commissions to try people the U.S. considered to be "unlawful enemy combatants" in the Global War on Terrorism.
john135246:The Act also states that no judge or court has jurisdiction to hear or consider an application for writ of habeas corpus filed by or on behalf of an alien detained by the U.S. who was determined by the U.S. that has been properly detained as a enemy combatant or is awaiting such determination.
what act? if you support the constitution you support keeping habeas corpus. if you feel safety is more important then freedoms, then you played into the terrorists hands.
Fine fine sure lets go with that we wouldnt want to not make you happy now would we. Your wrong but sense obviously doesnt get through to you so ill let you get back to foaming at the mouth after this.
You dont listen to me, you dont listen to Stratus. I see little point in wasting my time trying to debate someone who would rather call opponents a moron than engage in an intelligent debate with them. Well now Fred Thompson is in the race so im focusing more on promoting Thompson on videos with the highest number of views.
john135246: Unless you are an Islamic radical in America preaching "Death to America" or an anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-American liberal that spends more time trashing America and Bush than saying anything bad about bin Laden, al-Qaeda, or Islamic radicals, nobody has anything to worry about.
Thanks CC, im making planning on making a video debunking the CFR conspiracy so I dont have time for John right now. Let me know when he starts calling you a Moron (when he does it means he has run out of talking points)
john135246:President Bush signed and supports the Military Commissions Act of 2006, a law suspending the right of habeas corpus to persons "determined by the United States" to be an "enemy combatant" in the Global War on Terror.
john135246: The international A.N.S.W.E.R coalition, an organizational front group formed by the International Action Coalition. Closely allied with IAC is the World Workers Party, a quasi-Stalinist organization that supports authoritarian regimes and Communist dictatorships.
Hey schmarcie glad you could come. Now just for your benefit John let me promise you that schmarcie is not some alternate personality of mine that you seem to believe every person who disagrees with you is.
Anyway Schmarcie I just saw Fred on Leno and I am very excited about the campaign. Ill forward you the email if you want when Fred sends out his official announcement email.
...riiiiight, and this Batos guy is he about yay tall with little tiny wings and a top hat? Ok so now then have a seat on the couch and tell me about your childhood...
"JOHN GIBSON, HOST: The gloves are off: Hillary Clinton is reported to be already digging up the dirt on Barack Obama.
The New York senator has reportedly outed Obama's madrassa past. That's right, the Clinton team is reported to have pulled out all the stops to reveal something Obama would rather you didn't know: that he was educated in a Muslim madrassa."
John Gibson has nothing to do with the madrassa story other than the fact that he reported on it. Need I find other sources ok then look at ABC and CNN. They both reported on the story as well. Now its clearly a false story but john135246 makes it sound like the claim was made up by Fox when in fact it was likely the Hillary camp that started the rumor.
John they were reporting an attack by Hillary Clinton that he went to a Madrassa. Dont you support that liar? Prediction: John's next comment will contain at least one instance of the word "coward", "liar", and/or "moron" or a variation of one of these words.
Im not two people last time I checked. Im also not going around calling people Morons. Now then instead of constantly trying to attack me in a futile effort to get me to respond in kind. Why dont you act like a grown man and make a comment relevant to this video or prior discussions. I only have one profile.
I can no more prove you a moron then you can prove me one (think about that statement for a bit) but I said that you would call me one and you certainly did. Predictable as always.
I said you were right about the anthrax scare being after 9/11 and about me not being able to cancel out your individual vote since we do not live in the same state. How does that prove im a moron? The fact is im willing to admit when I make a mistake you on the other hand keep insisting that you are right without bringing forth any evidence to support your wild claims.
I was right about you calling me a moron wasnt I? Come on admit it. Petty I know but no more than some of the times you have been right and it deserve to entertain and prove a point.
However this shows that I am willing to admit when I made a mistake or error. Tell me something have I said I was wrong about anything else? So then following your logic what conclusion does that lead us to? Come on john you are a responsible adult right, your not gonna let some 19 year old "punk kid" get the best of you right? No you will just call me a moron. Prove me right.
Hmm true and Im assuming you dont live in Texas since you dont have a lick of sense. Ah well ill settle for canceling out the vote of some crazy Austin Liberal and ill dedicate the act to you how does that sound? (John your almost making this too easy, your over there foaming at the mouth with anger and im sitting here shaking my head smiling about how easy it is to tick you off.)
19 years old means that thanks to the 26th Ammendment (which set voting age at 18) I have the right to vote. Thus it seems fit for voters to study the political process and gain an understanding of it. One of the ways I do this is to engage people in logical debate. If going around calling people morons is your way of doing it then ok. I mean I cant call myself a responsible voter if I leave politics up to adults like you. Instead I will relish canceling out your vote.
Um you do realize that trading off means the same thing as I asked him to debate you. *Sigh* Liberal sheep, once they get an idea in their head there is no getting it out. Fine fine believe whatever you want you are certainly entitled to be wrong, but I assure you I am not Straus.
If you consider the anthrax scare then yes the statement "There have been no terrorist attacks after 9/11 on U.S. soil" is not an accurate statement. Im not above admiting when im wrong so instead let me rephrase the statement. "There have been no succesfull terrorist attacks on US soil since the year 2001." Now then where were we?
Yes I have the message I sent him if you want to read it. We traded off. I debated someone he wanted me to debate and I thought you might be more receptive to someone with more experience. Instead you just call anyone who doesnt agree with you a moron like a typical close minded liberal.
Well done John. The anthrax attack really did occur after 9/11 so yes I suppose I was mistaken. Forgot about the anthrax, I mean after the 3000+ that died on 9/11 the anthrax scare that occured almost immediately after kinda fell under the radar. So Congratulations you finally managed to grab hold of one of those straws you were cluching for.
And life would be a whole lot easier for you if you did more than call people morons who dont agree with you. Im not Straus I dont know how you got that kinda idea in your head but then again it wouldnt be the first time you got a crazy idea in your head.
What Straus and me are friends, we both have similar views so why is that odd. I argued with you earlier and for some reason I felt that you could be reasoned with but I was too young for you to do anything more than call me a liar. I asked Straus if he would mind debating you in hopes that you might listen to him since he is much older than me. It seems I was wrong. Your simply too close minded to consider any opinion other than your own.
Well if he did then he will have to answer for it but does a liberal like you really want to go around bringing up people's private lives? You know where im going with this.
You do realize Straus and I are not the same person. Im 19 years old from Arlington, TX. Ive never attempted to hide that fact its on my profile. You really must be quite mad.
I dont pretend to be old. Im 19. Ive never denied it. Its in my freaking profile. As for a Democrat being President? Thats funny. Hillary is unelectable but she has so utterly destroyed everyone else in the Democratic party that it seems certain she will be the nominee. If that happens it will be a nightmare for the Democrats.
People should take note of how Thompson "responds" to critics of his lobbying efforts for dictators and S&L deregulation. No actual rebuttal, just redneck bluster. A "20 point spread in Tennessee" rebuttal isn't going to fly for a national race in the post-Abramoff/Delay era. At least with Rove and Cheney, Abramoff had to go through handlers to get into the Oval Office... with Fred, K Street has their man in the chair.
john-You're not mature enough to understand. You're the one that signed the dotted line to go into the military. Sounds like to me you have your own personal agendas and not what's best for this country. You are one fucked up dude. GOODBYE.
john-Yes he is but no fucking way would I support this candidate. Jesus Christ, if he got into office we'd have illgals coming out of our ass. And about the war in Iraq, Remember you signed the dotted line to go into the military. His plan for the war over there will put us in eminent danger. We have to fight terroists on their ground, NOT HERE. Like I said you are not old enough to understand what our past troops weent thru to maintain our freedoms.
john-I read up on Richardson and from what I get is he pretty soft on illegal immigration and I don't know why, he's from a border state. He's to liberal for my taste. He wants to forgive this, forgive that and I don't think he would be tough enough to handle our budget. He may make a good VP.
john-Right now he's the closest I feel represents what the majority of the people want. He feels strong om illegal immigation, foreign affairs, government spending, and I AM NOT voting for any Dem. that's currently running unless that changes. Has Bill Richardson thrown his hat into the ring?
john-We have to look at someone who has the best interests of the people in mimd. Right now we are being taxed to death by our government to fund their special little interest lobbiests. Congress and the prez. have their prioties all f***ed up and they are not for us.
john-Experience is wisdom. When you're 70 I KNOW you'll feel the same as I. Anyway, getting back to discussion, What this all boils down to is it doesn't make any difference what party you are affiliated with as long as the candidate represents us and as citizens of this country and not his or hers personal agendas.
john-I'm proud of you. I've been thru 3 wars including the Gulf. The point is at my age I believe I know that I have more wisdom than somebody in their 20's. THAT IS THE POINT!!! You can argue with someone else. Your issues don't even pertain to this blog.
johnboy-You going to have to go back and read some of your transcripts. You said Ford ended the war. I just a slight correction. Anyway, I don't time for this pissing and moaning. Let me know when you've really been thru some shit. Remember history books are based on perception, less fact.
john-I want you to look up Prez Nixon. He vowed in 1968 to bring home 500,000 troops from Nam. It took 4 years to do it. They kicked his ass out of office in 1974. That's when Ford took over. I'll give one thing, he wasnt a nice guy. you'll have to do some research before posting but we all make mistakes.
John-You're wrong again about Medicaid. It is a known fact that people without medical assisstance are not filling out the paperwork to receive it. The funding is there (which surprises me). There are limitations. If you are earning a wage income to exceed a level then you can afford to pay for Medical. I think you would agree that people don't plan for such accomodations.
john-you're evading the issue. You still haven't made a committment as to who you think would a reasonable candidate that would represent all of us in this countryas prez. Don't be afraid, we won't laugh.
john-May I ask this question? If you think the current candidates are not of your choice, who would be yours? You know that Hilary and Obama are liars. That's open info.
john135246-I hate to burst your bubble but there is health care for everyone. Ever hear of Medcaid, even illegal immigrants which I hope will stop. They just have to get off their butts and pursue it.
Im sorry to hear that you instantly dismiss people as liars just because they are members of a political party. It is a pity that you are not reasonable enough to engage in civil debate with a person whom you disagree with.
The police are currently after the gangs. The terrorists had no one after them till now. When your on the run its harder to coordinate attacks. Notice that there has not been an attack on U.S. soil since 9/11. Coiencidence? Possibly but not likely. We know that they want to attack us at home so why havnt they. We can only conclude that we must be doing something right.
I am using an example of jumping to conclusions. Why did you even bring up the issue of being gay? Are you implying that the Duke students did rape that girl? You seem sane enough so I would be happy to debate you on any topic. Just pick one and lets stick with it.
I know as much about you as you know of me, so yeah not much. I am trying to get a better idea of who you are and what your views are. You found out I was a Conservative and then instantly call me a liar. This behavior is typical of Liberals and your channel page confirms that you are a liberal. Still I dont think you are a liar, only misguided.
What where do you get that idea? Killing Osama isnt going to instantly end terrorism. I want us to destroy the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. Not just kill a leader who can be replaced.
I DO NOT SUPPORT RUDY! Ive said this how many times. I dont drink the koolaid of either party. I am a Conservative and support other Conservatives. Rudy is a moderate Republican who leans too far to the left for my tastes.
Rudy is not gay and he hasnt done anything illegal. Unlike libs we Conservatives do not jump to conclusions until we hear all the facts. We dont assume, we know. Look at the Duke case, everyone was pointing fingers at the boys except for the Conservatives who were waiting for the verdict. If Giuliani is ever proven to do something illegal he will be gone. Unlike Liberals Conservatives have values.
I did say that you said he was one I was just pointing out that he wasnt one so that people reading this wouldnt make that mistake. Your problem is that you already think im a liar and thus have a closed mind to any opposing view.
Liberals only listen to what they already believe to be true. Such people are incapable of learning. Ford was no Conservative either. Vietnam was a war we lost at home. We cannot lose this war the same way.
We are there to win the War on Terror, getting Osama is a good thing but it is not the ultimate goal here. The military needs more funding not less. And dont ever call Bush a Conservative. He is a Republican and a good man but he is not a Conservative. I cannot stress that enough.
Tell me something if that is what you really think why did you enlist? Why did you go into the military if you believe the war to be for oil. Incidentally no true Conservative would cut our troop's funding in an attempt to gain political points with the fringe.
All of those you mentioned have lost their Conservative support except for Delay who was falsely accused. Liberals are for whatever is popular. Personally I like being able to choose my lightbulbs.
If they didnt want us there then by their own Constitution all they would have to do is tell us and we go home. They havnt done that yet. Are you telling me that if you were to die in Iraq you would die for nothing, that is truly sad in fact I am starting to doubt your claim of being a soldier. Even so I choose to believe you for now. Iraq is part of the War on Terror. Notice that we are currently fighting terrorists there. This is a war that we MUST WIN. Just keep that in mind.
Trickle down economics. Tax cuts. Please dont tell me that you are giving liberals credit for clean air and water. Notice the recent drop in the poverty rate but ive already heard the liberal spin on it so go ahead say it again. The man you are refering to in Idaho has already lost support of the GOP. Unlike the Libs we cut our own and kick them out if they have truly done wrong. As for sexual encounters...please dont tempt me to bring up Clinton :D
guess you didn't hear about Giuliani's sexual affairs or Newt Gingrich's either, course nothing happened to them and Giuliani is the front runner of your party
Im a Conservative not a Republican. Im not a Giuliani supporter either. Ron Paul and Rudy are like polar opposites. Rudy is strong on foreign policy but weak on domestic policy. Ron Paul is strong on domestic policy but weak on foreign policy. Thank God someone who is good all around like Fred is going to jump in soon.
Me go away. Ha ha who do you think your talking to, Im in this till the bitter sweet end. Its not that I cant handle adult language its just that over using it when it is unnecessary to do so defames the character of the speaker.
Your right I have never served and I hold great respect for those who do. I do not know what it is like and so I simply picture the most hellish situation I can and multiply it by 10. There are no finer people than US Soldiers. Even so I am still free to disagree with you based on the freedoms which you defend. I honor you for your service but I disagree with your political views.
Its not the job of government to babysit everyone. No one has said the poor should not have health care but there is no reason to steal from the people who can afford it just so those who can not may have it. No that is what charity is for. You invoke Christ's message of giving but he did not invoke taking. Remember Conservatives give, Liberals take.
The idea that you cannot support a war unless you serve in the military is sad last resort that you people cling to. It lets me know that all I need to do is push a little more and you will resort to language and insults.
A man is judged by who he is not who his parents are. Its also clear that you are neither southern or a gentlemen. I think you just tried to say that you are a soldier. If so then God Bless you sir but that does not automatically give you the right to go unchallenged when you try and attack a man like Fred Thompson.
That would be you sir. Thompson supported Nixon I never denied that. However Thompson and Nixon are not the same. You would have to be on drugs to think that they were. Which reminds me, Free healthcare= very very bad idea.
Being born in the South doesnt make you a Southerner. Bush is a Texan and he was born in New Hampshire. I know good and well where John was born from the 2004 election but the Democrats dont give second chances. I told you my powder is dry. Wake me up when September begins.
Oh boy have you picked the wrong tree to piddle on. I sir am a student of History. Nixon and Fred Thompson could not be more different. Nixon liked to micromanage, Thompson could never stand micromanaging everything. I suggest you do your homework before attempting to tangle with me again. Otherwise you simply embarrass yourself.
There they go again.........that Hollywood liberal establishment. Started with Reagan, then Arnold and now we've got this ACTor from the Watergate asking us to forget he was leaking a dripping faucet of information to Nixon.
Heh The reason the Democrats have already starting attacking Fred is because he actually has a chance and he is a true Conservative unlike most of the other Republican candidates (Huckabee, Brownback, and Tancredo are also Conservatives on all the issues but they are neither as electable or as inspiring as Fred is.) That Southern Charm really does work wonders and we could certainly use it to repair the damage that Clinton did to the South's reputation.
Fred Thompson is Washington lobbyist and has no credibility as a "common man". I also think that with his medical condition and age, he's not going to be able to handle the job.
you, senator, are a very silly little man! your little experiment on youtube is backfiring; you are disliked by one and all, despite your selective edits.
Spencer Abraham as campaign manager? I believe when the public find out about his backrround a little more, this could be a problem. I had such high hopes but bringing in Jihad Spencer is bad mojo, sorry.
Wow, look at all these attacks and you're not even in the race yet! They must really be worried. Also, great picture of you on the front of the Washington Post today
Only cowards choose to use YouTube as a platform for their campaign, but refuse to participate in the upcoming CNN/YouTube debate. I'm sure Mr. Thompson is not a coward, right? I mean, if one can't face CNN, YouTube and the American public, how can one be expected to face Al Qaeda????
Well considering Thompson isn't in the race yet, I doubt he was invited to participate in the debate. As for the choice to use YouTube, I'd call it smart and innovative. I'm looking forward to Fred jumping in the race.
If you want to talk cowards, and use the "how can they face Al Qaeda" line try asking the Democrats, other than Biden and Kucinich, why they wont debate on Fox News.
Do you people know what a lobbyist is? Democrats use them, Republicans use them, you use them, i use them- everyday. There are Abortion Lobbyists- Gun Control Lobbyists- Pro Gun Lobbyists - Pro Education Lobbyists- Union Lobbyists and so on and so on... Being a Lobbyist- having a cause and making money at it- is a good gig. Being a Senator however... THAT might tarnish his record.
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.
Why would Roberts need Fred Thompson's help getting Roberts confirmed? He was already a slam dunk. Seems very defensive of Fred to now try and take credit for getting Roberts confirmed. This is like Al Gore saying he invented the Internet.
He's saying he lobbied for him, not that he was the reason he got nominated. They use "lobbying" in a negative light, so he mentioned the Roberts scenario to put some positive light on the term that has a bad reputation these days. I don't see it as defensive.
Of course lobbying has a negative reputation. No one wants a lobbyist as president because we want to keep the corporations out of the government and away from policy decisions.
I'm telling you right now... this guy will never win. Republicans, if you want to even have a chance against Hillary, then you better pick somebody else.... and quick!
I have known Fred for many years, as being a neighbor of his. He has Morals and this nation needs to go back to the Constitution of Morals. Fred is a very honorable man, no matter what anyone trys to say about him. These ridiculous comments on Fred are just a way of trying to swing the votes to another Presidential running mate. Fred will win the 2008 election by a landslide. Like all humans he will make mistakes, when he does, he is accountable for himself, I assure you all of this.
We lived in Lebanon, TN. in 1992-1996 and I was proud to vote for Mr.Thompson then...and I will be proud to vote for him again. Go to American Family Association and see his numbers there.
This week, not calling immigrants, terrorists, he found out all the money that the RIAA and MPAA showered on him to push those not so family valued themes. Evangelicals care right? Those associations push pornography, sex, violence, adultry, womanizing.
If everything Thompson's critics say about him are true, I'd still take him over Hill or (and?) Barak. Whenever anyone uses the "neocon" term I know they are a batshit nutball.
Bill Clinton pardoned 396 people during his terms, including Puerto Rican terrorists, conveniently during Hillary's senatorial campaign in New York. New York has about 1.5 million Peuerto Ricans. That's a lot of votes. See the entire list of Clinton's pardons at imwithfred08.blogspot. com and read in Fred's own words why he supports it.
how did 140 more then double? Clinton pardon 140 people. But lets not forget Bush pardons including a member of the mineworkers union who was convicted for his role in bombings at a West Virginia coal mine, a counterfeiter and a bootlegger.
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 in the Senate. This is why Americans for Better Immigration gave you a grade of "C". Conservatives have had enough rhetoric from neocon globalists who sacrifice America's national security to provide cheap labor to corporate America. Stay on TV and stop "acting" like you're a conservative you fraud.
Ask Fred About his membership in of the Council of Foreign Relations (CRF) which is the force behind the push for the North American Union -- No national sovereignty -- Open Borders.
This is not 1994 and this is not Tennessee Fred. The rest of America gets to vote in Presidential races. I'm thinking you might still take Tennessee by twenty points. Local boy makes good and all. The rest of us are not going to be so easy. For the record Fred this voter could care less about the points you mentioned. I will not be voting for you because of your position on Iraq and because I think neocons are the most dangerous people on the planet. Other than that you're okay in my book.
NYC I guess you won't be voting for Fred, but that's okay, he will do fine without your vote. If you want to lose Iraq you can vote for Hillary. If you want to win you can vote for Fred.
He's been spoutin' demagoguery all his Washington career. Talk about problems. And when Fredagogue isn't talkin, people get things like campaign finance reform.
Yay, I want a lobbyist to be My President - After all, he helped Bush get elected, and our country has never been stronger or more free, and lobbying is a great tool for lining your pockets, I'm sure he's great all round /sarcasm
You can tell that he was doing this one off the cuff, but he definitely needs to cut back on the laid back country style a bit before it bites him.
He did a similar style response to Michael Moore's letter. Republicans and Democrats should be worried about the upcoming debates - if Fred can cut the rambling.
WEIRD. It didn't address the very compelling video that it's a response to. Why did you make a response to the abortion video if you're not going to talk about abortion???
Arthur Branch for President!

In the 2000 Republican presidential primaries, Thompson initially backed former Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander, who eventually succeeded Thompson in the Senate, two years later. When Alexander dropped out of the presidential race, Thompson endorsed Senator John McCain's bid and became his national co-chairman.[48] Both McCain and Thompson were contenders to be George W. Bush's running mate in 2000.[49][50]

john135246: I support the Veterans that fought for America and continue to love and back up our country. One of my best friends served in the Army for 13 years (he was part of the "Ghost Squad"). He is someone that deserves to be called a true veteran. He fought for his country and still stand behind it. He doesn't come back home and brag about serving while trashing his country. Those who do that don't deserve shit.

john135246:Your liberal blindness is already apparent. You choose what you want to see. When Kerry came back from Vietnam, he sat in court and accused his fellow soldiers of committing war crimes while we were still in war. Vetnam heard these accusations and kept Americans prisoners much longer. Kerry even said a few months ago that people who join the military are uneducated and lazy. That was directed at you.

19 years old means that thanks to the 26th Ammendment (which set voting age at 18) I have the right to vote. Thus it seems fit for voters to study the political process and gain an understanding of it. One of the ways I do this is to engage people in logical debate. If going around calling people morons is your way of doing it then ok. I mean I cant call myself a responsible voter if I leave politics up to adults like you. Instead I will relish canceling out your vote.

If you consider the anthrax scare then yes the statement "There have been no terrorist attacks after 9/11 on U.S. soil" is not an accurate statement. Im not above admiting when im wrong so instead let me rephrase the statement. "There have been no succesfull terrorist attacks on US soil since the year 2001." Now then where were we?

So Congratulations you finally managed to grab hold of one of those straws you were cluching for.

Do you people know what a lobbyist is? Democrats use them, Republicans use them, you use them, i use them- everyday. There are Abortion Lobbyists- Gun Control Lobbyists- Pro Gun Lobbyists - Pro Education Lobbyists- Union Lobbyists and so on and so on... Being a Lobbyist- having a cause and making money at it- is a good gig. Being a Senator however... THAT might tarnish his record.

Why would Roberts need Fred Thompson's help getting Roberts confirmed? He was already a slam dunk. Seems very defensive of Fred to now try and take credit for getting Roberts confirmed. This is like Al Gore saying he invented the Internet.
givemethatback 4 years ago
He's saying he lobbied for him, not that he was the reason he got nominated. They use "lobbying" in a negative light, so he mentioned the Roberts scenario to put some positive light on the term that has a bad reputation these days. I don't see it as defensive.

Of course lobbying has a negative reputation. No one wants a lobbyist as president because we want to keep the corporations out of the government and away from policy decisions.

I have known Fred for many years, as being a neighbor of his. He has Morals and this nation needs to go back to the Constitution of Morals. Fred is a very honorable man, no matter what anyone trys to say about him. These ridiculous comments on Fred are just a way of trying to swing the votes to another Presidential running mate. Fred will win the 2008 election by a landslide. Like all humans he will make mistakes, when he does, he is accountable for himself, I assure you all of this.

We lived in Lebanon, TN. in 1992-1996 and I was proud to vote for Mr.Thompson then...and I will be proud to vote for him again. Go to American Family Association and see his numbers there.

This week, not calling immigrants, terrorists, he found out all the money that the RIAA and MPAA showered on him to push those not so family valued themes. Evangelicals care right? Those associations push pornography, sex, violence, adultry, womanizing.

If everything Thompson's critics say about him are true, I'd still take him over Hill or (and?) Barak. Whenever anyone uses the "neocon" term I know they are a batshit nutball.

Looks like he's got nutter Ron Paul supporters after him too. Just one more reason to vote for Fred as far as I'm concerned.

I am just sad to see that my original choice for president (Fred) uses the "Well, the other guy did it, too" excuse. He won't be getting my vote.

Fred, why don't you post a video of your support for the criminal Scooter Libby?

Bill Clinton pardoned 396 people during his terms, including Puerto Rican terrorists, conveniently during Hillary's senatorial campaign in New York. New York has about 1.5 million Peuerto Ricans. That's a lot of votes. See the entire list of Clinton's pardons at imwithfred08.blogspot. com and read in Fred's own words why he supports it.
byebobby 4 years ago
how did 140 more then double? Clinton pardon 140 people. But lets not forget Bush pardons including a member of the mineworkers union who was convicted for his role in bombings at a West Virginia coal mine, a counterfeiter and a bootlegger.

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 in the Senate. This is why Americans for Better Immigration gave you a grade of "C". Conservatives have had enough rhetoric from neocon globalists who sacrifice America's national security to provide cheap labor to corporate America. Stay on TV and stop "acting" like you're a conservative you fraud.

Ask Fred About his membership in of the Council of Foreign Relations (CRF) which is the force behind the push for the North American Union -- No national sovereignty -- Open Borders.

This is not 1994 and this is not Tennessee Fred. The rest of America gets to vote in Presidential races. I'm thinking you might still take Tennessee by twenty points. Local boy makes good and all. The rest of us are not going to be so easy. For the record Fred this voter could care less about the points you mentioned. I will not be voting for you because of your position on Iraq and because I think neocons are the most dangerous people on the planet. Other than that you're okay in my book.

NYC I guess you won't be voting for Fred, but that's okay, he will do fine without your vote. If you want to lose Iraq you can vote for Hillary. If you want to win you can vote for Fred.

He's been spoutin' demagoguery all his Washington career. Talk about problems. And when Fredagogue isn't talkin, people get things like campaign finance reform.

Yay, I want a lobbyist to be My President - After all, he helped Bush get elected, and our country has never been stronger or more free, and lobbying is a great tool for lining your pockets, I'm sure he's great all round /sarcasm

You can tell that he was doing this one off the cuff, but he definitely needs to cut back on the laid back country style a bit before it bites him.
He did a similar style response to Michael Moore's letter. Republicans and Democrats should be worried about the upcoming debates - if Fred can cut the rambling.

WEIRD. It didn't address the very compelling video that it's a response to. Why did you make a response to the abortion video if you're not going to talk about abortion???
JoeFelice 4 years ago
He gave it EXACTLY all the credibility he should have. Never give lies credibility by pretending you need to address them as "credible argument".
Besides, why should he bother? The last time the same things were argued he only won by 20 points....
