FIGHTING corruption?
I'm sorry, what was Fred Thompson's vote on lifting the embargo with Vietnam again???
And if you had any sense, you would realize that.

What?
What’s his conservatism got to do with campaigning for Lincoln Chafee?
Why is Erin Burnett screwing Mike Darda?
Why is diet soda said to cause cancer?
Or how about this one, why don’t the rating agencies rate CDOs after seasoning rather than when they are issued?
So many more relevant questions, would you like some more?
I asked you, what was Fred Thompson’s vote on lifting the embargo with Vietnam?
Do you think free speech doesn't matter or that it doesn't exist in America because of money in politics? I reject either premise, with the caveat that if McCain-Fiengold type of legislation is allowed to stand and be added to, we will lose our right to speak gradually. The important thing with a right is the principle, not the effect. A person with little money, poor grammer, a lousy stage presence, and bizarre ideas has the same right to speak as a well groomed, attractive, articulate billionaire with great ideas (and vice-versa).
And if you had any sense in the response given to you, you would realize your question has nothing to with CFR.
“Why would any American patriot think something is wrong with Fred Thompson’s intentions?”
“We must give them aspirations of citizenship”

Oh yeah, as a longtime conservative I think FREE SPEECH doesn't matter. In fact I believe in compassionate conservative communism. How you like them bananas?

Are you another American with ADD? I mean at least you've mingled in circles where you picked up the usage of the word 'caveat'. Certainly you can read but maybe you don't want to, maybe you just want to see your rant on an internet screen.
Here's the question posed to you in post #39:
He has rethought his strategy to replace the CFR strategy. Did you know that? He is now for full internet disclosure with strong enforcement of disclosure.
And here's a couple of additional questions for you:
Aren't you happy to see that Fred Thompson is able to review his actions, to see which actions had unintended consequences and to draw up a new strategy that will achieve the intended results while avoiding the unintended consequences?
Or are you one of those people that says a war is lost because a battle was lost?
B4DH = Bump for Duncan Hunter
You mean company like Fred Thompson’s very good friend AND supporter Zach Wamp, one of the sponsors of an anti-NAU bill in the House?
I am saying that your idea that free speech is a fantasy because there is money involved in the media is not well thought out.
No what you are saying is you don't like FDT and you're harping about CFR to discredit him while ignoring his recent positions on the corruption in DC.
As for your attempts to discredit me, have at it. It only goes to show you are a fool. Bring it on.
Would that be the amendment that Hunter wrote (and was passed two days ago) defunding the SPP?
No.
Thanks for the ping. Timely subject, and Rep. Hunter, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, is right on it, God bless him. If there is any way he can stop the NAFTA highway, he will. But he starts with his bill to force foreign transport vehicles to abide by the same rules and regulations as domestic transport vehicles. I would like to see North and South border inspections mandatory on these vehicles as well.
Can someone provide an email address for Rep. Hunter’s office in Washington DC? We need to encourage him.
>Does anyone know what F.Thompson thought was more important?<
Since Fred Dalton Thompson was a heavy supporter of McCain-Feingold, what more do you need to know? He only flip flopped on that, as well as his ‘let the states decide on abortion’ stance after he decided to “think” about running for president, due to the Conservative opposition to both.
I have yet to hear FDT answer a question with a direct and concise answer. He is a lawyer through and through, and that’s what lawyers always do. Answer a question with a question!
“Afterall, FDR was photographed sitting next to Stalin and smiling.”
THAT is because Stalin was the big communist and FDR the big Socialist...yeah they had their differences but they also had a great more deal in common with respect to political philosphy.
Thompson is correct. We are NOT afraid of a global economy. A nation with our capability with free enterprise should have nothing to fear in competition with other nations. The issue isn’t should we participate in globalization or not, clearly we should as a matter of common sense.
The real questions on this issue should address to what extent to we compromise American values and the American identity in order to sucessfully compete globally? How far do we go? Is NAU the answer?
Well let’s look at the EU and what that little exercise has done. I’m not sure if we can call the EU a rousing success can we? Given that the EU was founded upon the bedrock of England, France, and Germany one would assue that it would be a home run for the whole of Europe. It hasn’t been has it?
the two primary bedrock nations for the NAU would have to be the USA and Canada. Mexico is not in any economic condition to be considered a “bedrock-type” nation - yet strangely they are looked at in that vein for one reason only - cheap labor. If Europe can’t find major success with three reletively strong economic powers as their foundation, how can we expect the NAU to be successful when one of the three promary partners is noticably weak where economics are concerned? Even with the USA as the leader, it just doesn’t seem reasonable for us to expect anything but higher taxes, slowed economic growth, increased unemployment, growing inflation from a NAU-type of effort. We have been down the stagnation road before thanks to the policies of Killer Rabbit Carter. We really don’t need to go there again, but I believe that is exactly what the NAU will ultimately do. If our neighbors in North, Central, and South American continents see economic quality, they need to find their own way to achieve those goals without pulling us down to their level, which is the ultimate result of any NAU.
Like killing 40 million people?
Yup....FDR only found a way to enslave at least 40 million to government entitlements - killing their souls perhaps, but by golly he at least didn’t kill them outright like Stalin did. The roots of many of societies problems today are rooted in the socialism brought about by FDR’s “only government can help you” policies.
