Fred Thompson, Citizens United Ad (Part 1) (2004)

[YentaY0]

Fred you are a traitor. Citizens United? Who pays for that Fred?  You back stabbing Murdering Traitor

[DeAnte85]

Mr. Thompson, you might want to know that just recently, a commission charged by Congress reported that 90% or more of our National Guard units lack the training, equipment, and combat-readiness to effectively prevent or respond to a WMD attack in our own country. We are less safe now then we were before our President's "policy on Iraq on lately."

Hey Fred, if you're so concerned about our national defense, how about just secure our own borders from now on?

[lightsout38]

@DeAnte85

thuis was a a biased report filed by a biased special interest group

[Ma3lst0rm]

Great words from a great man. The world will forever be a better place without Saddam.

[Czesc87]

haha, what does 9/11 do with Iraq, good one =)

[lightsout38]

@Czesc87

Iraq harbored the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11

you are quite the idiot

[JoeChrisMorris]

WTF?

What does 9/11 have to do with Iraq

Do people buy into this nationalism crap?

[waltray77]

We have those weapons this freak talks of, we seem to be pretty agressive as well. I cant believe he is using 9/11 as a pulpit.

It must not have been an issue while he became a millionaire actor. Heaven help us if this guy becomes presitent.

[strattosphere]

Heaven help you learn how to spell.

[baitkenh]

The only way I'd vote for Thompson is if he promised to shoot every illegal alien in this country and make abortion a federal offense. Other than that, he's just another liberal.

[conservativegrunt]

Duncan Hunter is the candidate of choice for conservatives. View Thompson's record on amnesties at Americans for Better Immigration. Thompson voted for an amnesty to illegal aliens from Nicaragua and Cuba. Sen. Thompson voted for a procedural move that helped allow the Mack Amendment to be included in S.1156. This amendment granted amnesty to illegal aliens from Nicaragua and Cuba and added close to one million people to U.S. population.

[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!

[danwholikespie]

Obviously you didn't learn from Vietnam that when you cut and run in the face of a little difficulty, your military becomes the laughingstock of the world. How can we expect anyone to take our military seriously if we run away from people who fight with donkeys?

[mhirtes12]

In case you didn't notice, we already ARE the laughingstock of the world for acting like an idiotic little child who is too stupid to take their hands off the burning stove.

And where did wanting to defend Social Security from Thompson and his Wall Street thugs equate to pulling out of Iraq? Sheesh. You cons are truly fucked in the head.

[JiveDadson]

I do not know anything about this man. Obviously, he didn't learn from Viet Nam. Does he admit his terrible mistake in promoting the pre-emptive undeclared war in Iraq?

[Bigcool73]

Democrats have no intrest in protecting the American people . Running in surrender is not a plan . That is not what America or Americans are about . Now you have the most mental of all Hellary Clinton voting aganist funding for my brothers and sisters still on the ground in Iraq . Explain to me how thats supporting the troops . Im a soldier that served 2 tours in Iraq ... ive seen the truth first hand . Democrats will not protect this great nation

[PMorphy65]

Fred Thompson talk so much out of the side of his ass, he should be a car salesman. You should by this car, because it matched the color of your eyes. lol Every time I watch a video on him, I look to see if I still have my wallet. He has yet to answer a question directly, without giving the obvious history of what has happened.

[CIACoupsofTerrorism]

Saddam didn't and was not developing nukes. That lie was debunked already along with the allegations by Cheney that Niger was uranium to Iraq which turned out to be a lie as well. Saddam and 9/11 had nothing to do with each other. Saddam was a secularist who was not religious. Also, the US armed Saddam with tons of arms as he used WMDS in the Iran-Iraq war back when he actually had WMDs.

[CIACoupsofTerrorism]

The war lead to over a million deaths. No one called for anything to be done about the murder of the Shia by Saddam for the uprisings encouraged by the US during the first Gulf War after we decided to leave.

[westphalianprinz]

You know you're talking too much sense to right wing trolls. They cannot handle the truth. CIA is "cocaine importation agency". What a spurious argument Mr. Thompson just made in that video! I hope he runs. One spurious right-wing argument after another.

[thysbes]

This is the guy the Republicans think can win? I really think the Republicans have nothing in the next election cycle. This guy is an old white dude and America is over that completely. He is also the opposite of charisma.

[westphalianprinz]

He says the things that get them worked up. He's kind of like Richard Nixon. They aren't as into hollywood star appeal in their candidates as we are.

[thysbes]

With the exception of Reagan I think you're right, but how do they intend to sell this guy as being anything other than an insider? He reeks of it. He's got slimy southern politition written all over him. He oozes it. He's pustulant from it.

[thysbes]

Correction, I spelled politician wrong. Sorry.

[westphalianprinz]

He's running as a "true conservative" who'll return the party to its principles. That means he's running against Bush because he's not extreme enough. Isn't that scary?

[thysbes]

Not only scary but I'm positive that it's political suicide aren't you?

[westphalianprinz]

I would hope so.

[CIACoupsofTerrorism]

No Fred Thompson is not a true conservative. He is a new conservative or better known as a neo conservative. Listen to this fool try to link 9/11 with Iraq. This man is not fit to be President. A true conservative is Ron Paul.

[westphalianprinz]

Ron Paul is da man!

[CIACoupsofTerrorism]

*was selling

[micontrols]

Well, I can tell if the lefties are totally rude and pissed off, We certainly must have a winner in Fred Thompson.... Run Fred, Ruuuuuun!!!!

[soulsamurai]

Fred Thompson's point is relevant. Liberals & dems are right to scared of him as a canidate - because all of their front runners and favorites could not compete. For conservatives & Republicans his record is solid and his voice is clear and articulate, he'd be a great leader to follow.

[searcherboy]

Shameful. Thompson made his reputation as a co-counsel on the Senate Watergate Committee, helping to uncover Nixon's abuse of the constitution. Now he's an apologist for incompetence, dishonesty and even worse violations of the constitution than Nixon committed. Thompson, you are a fraud, a hypocrite and a blowhard. To hell with you.

[Starbz]

Theres room in the same bed with VIVALAPSYCH...so both of you shouldnt wake up tomorrow!

[searcherboy]

Jeez, what a cutting remark. Go f*ck yourself.

[Starbz]

Sorry, thats not possible when you already did that by voting in Clinton as our president for 2 terms!..Sit Democrat, Sit!...GOOD BOY!

[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.

[BrentJ277]

This guy should be president in 2008!

Thompson and Tancredo '08!

[utubesucks2003]

Hey good point Thompson, if only the president didn't go to war under false claims one of which was linking 9/11 ( not the before aspect), you'd sort of well...have a point...then.

[vivalapsych]

I know, I know. I made a few spelling errors above. I posted that out with out checking. That being said, the only good thing I can say about Thompson is that he had good taste in younger women. I saw him on several occasions in DC restaurants with some fine ladies in their late twenties. That I support and yes I know he was/is? single at the time.

[toddlance1]

go to bed and don't wake up tomorrow

[vivalapsych]

that's not nice

[vivalapsych]

FUCK this guy. Shamefull. This ad pissed me off then and angers even more now. This got alot of play even here in Washington DC where I live. Thompson should be ashamed of this. It gives the impression (to say the least) that Saddam had weopons or at least it was "innevitable". Also he links 9/11 and Iraq. Once again, shameful.

[toddlance1]

go to bed
