Fixed it for you. Get the facts straight.

No I have it right and it is an issue. The Clinton Machine will be beating that drum before long so the GOP won’t have to.

Ah Grasshopper. The answer is zero blue states for Fred.

Yeah but he’s a muslim christian and used and sold cocaine. Could be an issue.

Even though he’s a Democrat, I think Obama has a shot simply because he’s younger, and it’s a young person’s world.

Fred recalls President Lincoln’s integrity, character, courage, and common sense.

Riiiiight. That’s already been coopted by the Obama people anyway.

Fred recalls President Lincoln’s integrity, character, courage, and common sense. Fred sees the silver lining around the nay-sayers’ cloud. Fred remains optimistic with hope for the next generation of Americans that this year voters will choose according to policy/record, not according to deceitful disinformation. Unlike others in the political campaign, Fred has his cards on the table. Fred is willing to sacrifice popularity for what is right because in the end that is always what is best for America, to do what is wise for the long term goal rather than succumb to short term liberal or populist deterents like chasing rabbits down the wrong path.

Fred understands relationships in today’s world. Populism with all of its gloss is the wide path leading us into the liberal socialist state. Now is the time for Republicans to vote for the party’s heart and soul with the moral courage to do the right thing. Ask yourself what the government should be doing in your life and how the government should be involved in your house. If the government should be involved, choose between local and federal the level you want the government officiating in your personal life with your personal income.

He stressed the significance of our military, rebuilding it, thanking them and funding them, appreciating our dependence on them. He said that traditionally our government spent much more on funding the military than the current 4% and bemoaned Clinton’s decimation of our military to 1/3 its previous number. Fred is committed to a 1 million person ground force. He would not change the military branches. He would maintain the clean military honor, and would not persecute those executing the process of duty in battle.

He covered differences between himself and each candidate. His emphasis is not negativism and personal attacks, unlike Huckabee who will not answer a policy question of record properly. Fred Thompson answered questions from the audience regarding the military, housing, inflation, and tax cuts. Regarding housing/economy, he noted the natural course of events with the inflation balloon that usually ebbs back and forth in its own balancing act. Since Bush’s tax cut, we’ve enjoyed 6 years of uninterrupted growth (unusually long without a bump) and the downturn is only normal, not to panic and over react but to use a cushion landing that will not reward irresponsible speculative investments, to not encourage bad behavior that is bound to return. He said conditions as yet are not determined, but he could support a stimulous pkg. for tax cut but tailored to get into the consumer pocket, that rebates help but to reconsider the appreciation schedule. But he said conditions as yet are not determined. Regarding the 2010 expiration date of the Bush tax cuts, he would preserve them. He spoke of eliminating the Death Tax, noting that as set @2009 0% New Year’s Eve, to be 50% 1-1-10 New Years Day. He would provide an alternative short flat tax leaving the choice to the individual or couple who may prefer the current tax method. Fred’s flat tax would benefit most people the best. Fred would also not run off corporate growth investment that allows economic freedom, aligning with Reagan there. He refers people to his Social Security Plan at Fred08.com.

Fred Thompson’s leading statesmanship and party platform deserve respect and American value votes.

Hope the gas tank hits a mill by midnight.

Robert Bork endorsed Fred Thompson as well.

Even though he’s a Democrat, I think Obama has a shot simply because he’s younger, and it’s a young person’s world.

Unfortunately you may be right. Most young people get their “political news” from The Daly Show. It’s sad.

Ignore the polls. We have seen that polls are useless and can tell the pollster whatever fits their agenda.

Agreed. Pollster: Would you support Fred Thompson over Hillary Cinton, even though Fred (insert lies,inuendo,etc.here)?

Anyone who listens to the Levin recording that was linked will see that his handlers cut off the interview when Thompson was being pressed to slam McCain. At that moment, Levin was worried that the Thompson folks were angry with him.

Buddahpundit on January 14, 2008 at 11:59 AM

Well, I guess this is where the writers are during the strike cuz that’s a nice bit of fiction.

How you gleaned all that without any “detail” according to your requirement of what is deemed detail, is suspect. Fred says on what issues he is in disagreement on, he mentions why he went after Huck at the time and not McCain (albiet weak) and then he had to go.
You represented that whole exchange as he said nothing. You are nit-picking and really reaching to find an argument here. You are anylyzing what happened at the end based on your own prejudice and not from fact.
The more you insist, the more you represent a losing pitch. Could Fred have said more? Who knows? He had to go. Did it satisfy you? Absolutley not apparently, but don’t turn that into he said nothing. Besides, it’s the Mark Levin show, there will be plenty of other times for Fred to speak and plenty of other venues.
To bank your argument on this one appearance is weak.

(By the way, pay attention to original conversations. It was funky chicken you should be quoting as saying “details.”)

” these are Serious Times!!!…” F. Thompson

OK…..I will X-it now. lobosan5

Thanks for the reminder. Robert Bork endorsed Mitt Romney.

Robert Bork chimed in immediately following Fred Thompson. Levin had his own program schedule to keep as did Thompson’s vigorous campaign.

There you have it. He does talk about McCain, just not in the same tone as he attacked Huck. Thus you are not a liar, just misrepresenting what happened.

geckomon on January 14, 2008 at 1:26 AM

You said he went into detail. I said “no he didn’t”. Who was right, me or you?

Anyone who listens to the Levin recording that was linked will see that his handlers cut off the interview when Thompson was being pressed to slam McCain. At that moment, Levin was worried that the Thompson folks were angry with him.

But you cannot tell me you are going to try to argue that McCain knew he’d be setting Soros up for greater control with the bill. Something tells me McCain doesn’t get a whole lot of Soros $$$.

It’s why I’m leery of lots of sweeping “reforms” like, say, Mittcare. Big, sweeping “reforms” always cost a whole lot more than advertised, in financial and other terms.

funky chicken on January 14, 2008 at 9:26 AM

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, especially when it’s your legislation! And whether or not McCain gets money from Soros is completely irrelevant. McCain’s legislative proposals have proven to be disastrous and the thought of this man having the bully pulpit with a legislative agenda is scary. Unless you’re a lib, in which case one might be overjoyed.

As for Mitt’s Mass health insurance reform – that was done after careful analysis by someone who is an expert in data mining, and it was done in one State. Mitt is not advocating that every state do what he did exactly the same way since every state has different parameters.

That is very different from HillaryCare which is a Federal program that will cause a net increase in taxes.

A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.

In addition to that, this allows Fred to give voice to the concerns of so many conservatives — “What the huck is Mike Huckabee doing anywhere near the front of the pack???” Thompson is the anti-Huck in every sense, as his positions and voting record should appeal to all members of the Reagan coalition, not just one narrow slice.

More on CFR. Supporters (I’m not one, BTW) could argue that it has succeeded in showing more citizens how the Soros types work by forcing them to create these big, obvious 527s etc. If the American people don’t care enough to punish recipients of Soros’s largesse, is that really the fault of CFR?

Clinton Happens on January 14, 2008 at 1:41 AM

At first look, I thought it a little kooky…but after reading it again, you may have come upon a solution. It won’t happen because of egos, money, etc. But it would be interesting to see something like that happen. A coalition of republicans, with a plan to “push America forward”, setting aside their differences for a “Better America”.
“Team America”, one man can’t do it alone…accountability to each other, accountability to the voters. Each bringing their own principles, expertise, knowledge…etc.
It would work, if you could get by the egos.
