I’m not sure why so many people are pushing Fred Thompson. Maybe, I’m biased because I’ve discovered through research that the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill would not have passed without Fred’s undaunted support of it. I hate campaign finance reform because it limits our first amendment freedoms. Last election, my mother got pulled over by an attorney for handing out voter guides she made herself from research. With McCain’s legislation, in the days preceding an election, one has to now be apart of an official campaign. Also, if you are still unconvinced, look at Kentucky, last Tuesday, they had an governor primary. Ernie Fletcher the Republican incumbent should have had no chance since he has been convicted of misdemeanor crimes as governor. Thanks to McCain and his buddy Fred Thompson, grassroots efforts for unheard of candidates does not get off the ground. Now, the Democrat will have an easy win in Kentucky. The same was true in my home state with Senator Mike Dewine and now he has been replaced by the extreme liberal Sherrod Brown.
Although he voted pro-life as a Senator, Thompson promoted big-tent restructuring of the Republican party in 1996 where abortion was deemphasized; and Bob Dole lost.
Fred Thompson is also a globalist and serves on the Council of Foreign Relations. For those who think he is great on immigration, go to www.ontheissues.org and look up his voting record. He has consistently supporting Mexican workers taking the place of American workers and supports NAFTA and our trade arrangements with China which each have cost America 1.8 million jobs.
Duncan Hunter is a much better candidate and makes Thompson’s conservitism look moderate. I also belive Duncan Hunter is the most electable too. He is the only Republican candidate with a real plan and motivation to change these trade laws which are causing American jobs to leave our shores. For my home state, Ohio and and the rest of the rust belt, this is a major issue. President Bush had a very difficult time winning Ohio because of all of the manufacturing jobs we have lost.
I encourage you to do your research and be intellectually honest. Always remember, the Republicans cannot win without the votes of Christian conservatives like me.
