we solve the security problem first, and then we'll talk about what to do with regard to other things

Highlight whatever parts you like. Some people (including one of the GOP's candidates) have a plan that is a workable solution and doesn't involve rounding anyone up and can tell us what that plan is instead of expecting us to trust them.

Thompson can say all day long that it's not amnesty, but he's singing from the same hymnal as Bush - who was pushing for amnesty and telling us that it was not amnesty.

Thompson is not the second coming that so many people are hoping for. In the same way that many people - myself included - were champions for Bush in the early years, especially after 9/11 - a lot of people are being fooled by the Party's candidate. And that's what Thompson is ... the candidate for the establishment Republicans.

This man is all of the things that conservatives typically stay away from: a lobbyist, a lawyer, an actor, a moderate.

I have no illusions. I'm sure in 2008 the party will get the candidate the Party wants, and I don't doubt that it will be Fred Thompson.

Highlighting different parts doesn't change who he is. He said all of it.

This is a very good point, Sittin. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and to me, that represents the same old globalist agenda,...just a different face.

Maybe and maybe not.... I”m not sure it’s that cut and dried yet but things aren’t long before they will be decided. The Ames Iowa straw poll is only 30 days away and usually you’ll see a weeding out after it. This time however the two of the leading candidates aren’t participating and Thompson isn’t an official candidate yet. So effectively three of what could be the top four aren't participating. Thus history may not be an accurate predictor in Ames this time. In any case, time is running out for the lower tier group to get organizations in place in the multitude of states that will have primaries shortly after Jan. 08. I don't see that happening...
