More “humor” right?
So you're justifying Hunter's repeated votes in favor of the most massive entitlement expansion in our generation by saying that:
a. It's old news
b. Everyone else did it too
c. It's Bush's fault
Fred Astaire couldn't beat that tap dancing.
Oh, and by the way, while Hunter was on his spending spree and fighting every effort to control the checkbook, Fred Thompson repeatedly voted AGAINST the Medicare prescription drug entitlement. He also has consistently fought for entitlement reform and federal spending restraint.
So, no -- the issue isn't a dud in the slightest.
Buit Fred is getting the boys just by showing some leg. No one has any idea what he really looks like.
You’re right, but not everyone who reads this thread is a fencepost. And some people can read while others refuse to try. Is that your definition of a fencepost?
Thanks
No. I’m not. Hunter stands behind his vote. One more time: Hunter stands behind his vote. And I told you last time the I DO NOT support that vote. Where is teh tapdancing? Pretty clear?
FWIW so do Mitt, Fred and Rudy. I’ve yet to hear the ladies complain about it.
Better have a seat.
It was a thread from a month ago. Do a search for keyword fred. You’ll find it.
Thanks for the tip — that would explain why the vote links are still active, but those linking the actual legislation have expired. Is there any permanent link for legislation itself? I’m guessing not, since our critters are so profligate that even the internet can’t contain the rubbish they dump on us.
First, there's a new Fred site:
http://vets4fred.net/
FDT is facing similar conditions Winston Churchill faced with Hitler.
While FDT is no Reagan or Churchill, I think he possesses the characteristics of both men, the understanding of the seriousness of the threat from the enemy, the ability to convey the seriousness of that threat to the people, and the cajones to do the right thing at the right time.
At this point in history, I would prefer a Churchill.
*applaud*
Good response.
No, that one is deadly serious.
You don’t support his votes for massive entitlement expansion, but you justify them by saying that it’s old news, everyone does it, and it’s Bush’s fault. Then you make a baseless accusation against Thompson which you quietly drop without repudiating.
Singing in the rain....just singing in the rain...
Nah - Fredheads have a strange adoration for Fred and also for Reagan. I don’t see that same kind of ardor for Joe Biden, Sam Brownback, and others.
I honestly believe that to be so, we shall see.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
Prescription drug bill: Hunter supported it. Stands by vote.
Now how the HECK does it get any simpler than that. You are asking me to justify it, when I said I do NOT support that vote. How the heck can I justify it when I oppose it. I’m just telling you your precious Fred is in teh same boat, just like on NCLB. They both were wrong.
First of all, let's look at the bill:
S1664
S Amdt 3820 to S1664: To provide exceptions to the sponsor deeming requirements for legal immigrants for programs for which illegal aliens are eligible, and for other purposes.
What does this translate to in citizen terms.. it is not granting benefits to illegal immigrants, it is basically saying that it isn't fair that illegal immigrants have more benefits that legal ones and it was an attempt to add a rider to S1664 that Legal immigrants get the same benefit that was attempted to be granted to illegal ones... NumbersUSA and other sites are falsely claiming that by supporting this amendment, Thompson and others were supporting S1664. Just the opposite.. at that, this bill was killed in committee and never made it to the floor of the Senate for an official yea or nae vote.
