TO HELL WITH MCCLAME WHO ASSAULTED THE 1ST AMENDMENT, WHO CONFERS RIGHTS TO THE ENEMAS OF AMERICA, WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH ENFORCING OUR BORDERS AND OUR LAWS!

WHO THE HELL WANTS HIM?

The problem with fred?, and everyone knows it, is that no one really knows where he is gonna position himself. He wont debate. He only gives prepared speeches and only does softball interviews. And even at that, his interviews with Leno, Robinson, and his Q&A in London were all dismal performances.

I read everything he writes and he doesn’t say any thing I haven’t already heard from other candidates. He isn’t leading on any issue.

I don’t care about his wifes hotness.

He just isn’t good enough for my support.

Mitt and Rudy are Federal RINOs in training. Both would dissapoint once in office, having shown that they will trade their principles for votes.

As far as I can tell, Fred! has not. I have read just about everything he has writen, and reviewed his voting record, and I agree with him 100%.

And Jeri is hawt.

That’s good enough for my vote.

All positive comments about his service in the military and senate are agreed with from here. My hat is off to the man of such dedication and service to all of us. My hat is also off to the man for his constant urging for sending more troops to Iraq.

Also, his campaign will die as a result of amnesty attempts. Should he have made the general election, it would make him absolutely unelectable.

I have a huge amount of respect for what John has sacrificed for this great nation.

Thank you for your service John.

We agree fully on this. At the same time he’s tired, has shamnesty wrapped around his neck, and simply his time has passed. It was 2000 or never. We should, however, always honor his service in the Navy and in the Senate, and be thankful for his support of 43 in 2004. He gave of his time/effort dilligently, often against the hopes of one John Kerry.

Thank you for your service John.

It continues to amaze me just how scared the left, the old media and RINOs are of Fred! With those groups opposed to him, how can conservatives go wrong backing him? I know some of the posters here on HA aren’t sold on Fred’s! bona-fides as a conservative, but frankly none of the Fred! doubters have been able to show me a better candidate.

Conservatives – now is our time. It’s going to be up to us to reclaim the Republican party from the blue-haired cocktail crowd. Get behind some new blood and vote the old guard out before it’s too late.

Over the past three years he’s made $760,000 fighting for the interests of his corporate clients.

Which, I believe is his congressman’s salary plus speaking engagements. The Dems think that if you are a Republican congressman, than all of your salary is from lobbyists or corportate America.
Not that Feinstein would ever take an interest in corporate America…except when she can shovel some million dollar bids to her husbands companies.

Thanks for the heads up, and shame on the posters who carry the Dems water. As usual they look like idiots.

John McCain, the Ho Chi Minh Candidate.

Dear Nukem,

Remember the Republican culture of corruption? The revolving door of Republican politicians moving in and out of top political offices and Washington D.C. lobbying firms?

That’s Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson.

For years, acting wasn’t the Law & Order star’s profession — it was a hobby. In the real world, Thompson has made a fortune in a decades-long career as a Washington lobbyist.

And just this month, as part of his role as the ultimate Washington insider, Thompson offered to host yet another fundraising event for Scooter Libby’s legal defense fund. Thompson has been vocal in his support of Libby, saying that he would “absolutely” pardon him.

As he runs for president, he’ll try his hardest to hide the truth from the American people. And we need to stop him.

Support our efforts to get the truth out about Fred Thompson:

Here’s what the USA Today had to say about Lobbyist Thompson:

Although the folksy-sounding Tennessean recently told USA TODAY that he would run an outsider, just as he did while campaigning as a “country lawyer” in a red pickup during his 1994 U.S. Senate race, his résumé is that of a longtime Washington operative who has crossed ideological lines to represent corporate and foreign clients.

In his most recent stint in Washington, Thompson worked for a London company lobbying Congress to limit liability claims for asbestos-related illnesses. Over the past three years he’s made $760,000 fighting for the interests of his corporate clients.

Now Fred Thompson wants the American people to believe he’s the next Ronald Reagan — a Washington outsider with Hollywood charisma and conservative appeal. But Thompson just plays the role of straight-shooting outsider on TV. In reality, he’s as inside as you can get.

He’s trying to get to the White House on slick lines and good acting. Help us stop him:

As Fred Thompson tries to go from Washington’s K Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, the stakes of his candidacy couldn’t be higher. In an interview just last week, for example, he claimed that the Roe v. Wade decision “was fabricated out of whole cloth,” and that it was the worst court ruling in the past 40 years.

We need to make sure that in 2008, Fred Thompson goes back to doing his acting on Law & Order — not in the White House.

While the Democratic presidential candidates hit the campaign trail, we’ll be hitting the Republicans. It’s our job to tell the American people the facts about opponents like Fred Thompson and to hold them accountable.

We can’t finish that job without you. I hope you’ll join us.

Sincerely,

Tom McMahon
DNC Executive Director

Plus, the final quote; “… would represent anyone who would pay him.” – that’s libel. This guy has no proof that Fred! would do that. I’d be willing to bet that Fred! wouldn’t take “anyone”. In fact, he’s probably turned down clients. And if he has, then this is proof and can be used in a lawsuit.

Whether such a suit would be a good idea, I’m not sure.

Lobbying clients paid him about half a million dollars between 1975 and 1993, when he started his campaign for the Senate.

$500,000 / 18 years = $27,777/year.

The horror! I can’t wait for F!DSdeven to put this all into context.

The writer seemed to want to blame the S&L deregulation scandals on Fred!. I don’t know enough history of that event. My question is, were the problems the direct result of Fred!’s efforts, or were they the result of people illegally taking advantage of the deregulation? That question maybe too nuanced for the author of the hit piece to appreciate.
