“I do not support Brownback’s position on immigration. I didn’t/still don’t support Bush’s position on immigration either.”
I don’t support Thompson’s position on it either.
“You’re going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship”. Fred Thompson, 2006
He’s also wobbly on Iraq... speaking plainly, Brownback offers nothing as a presidential candidate in 2008.
I agree. Nor do I support Thompson’s position on campaign finance even though he has backed off of full support for CFR.
That's fine that you say that as long as you remember that he is still an excellent Senator. It won't help a lot to get Thomposn in the WH if we must destroy the good conservative Senators and Congressmen along the way.
My three choices were mine alone. Just be glad if you saw your guy on my list. That means I'm willing to support him.
It seems that if Fred Thompson was not at that time employed by Arent,Fox, et al, or if there is no paper trail of supporting data, this entire matter turns into a load of shit thrown into the candidate most closely supported by the accusers, fan.
If their claims are supported by appropriate data, etc., well I guess the fan will be turned around and faced at Fred, who will be very sullied by the breezes generated.
Old news, move on....
Dan Rather is typing up the billing records in his basement right now.
Brownback voted FOR the amnesty bill, then after seeing how the vote was going against it, changed his vote in the last minutes.
Not exactly presidential material, nor senatorial for that matter.
I know what he did and it wasn’t good. I still say he would make a fine President. Name me a candidate who hasn’t done something stupid or voted wrong at least once. I am not going to dismiss Brownback’s excellent conservative record over one stupid impulsive mistake, especially when the mistake was in my favor.
The mistake was voting with the likes of Graham, Specter and Hagel in the first place. The switcheroo was just plain bad.
Of course people make mistakes and pull bone-head stunts. But Brownback’s initial vote indicates he’s just as out of touch with the thinking and wishes of the American public as many other beltway politicians are.
It’s an academic question however, as Brownback won’t get the nomination.
I would vote for him for President without hesitation. You don’t have to. Just remember that he is one of the most conservative Senators we have right now. May he live long and prosper in politics.
Hopefully it was just a bad stumble. We do need to keep the senate seat and my native state has already elected a dimbulb RAT governor who’s demonstrated she’s fully capable of exploiting a tragedy for her own political party.
Actually, my husband and I were looking at Sam and the nomination several months ago. but IIRC there was another gaffe or stumble or vote from Sam that turned us off a bit.
I’m not able to remember specifics right now though.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
they’re already trying to claim he worked for Aristide too.
I WONDER why we never see articles like this regarding ROSE LAW FIRM clients?
