Spence was named chairman not manager, he will not be running the day to day operations of the campaign. Chairman is a political figurehead position, sort of a liaison with Washington. I still don’t like the choice, but thought we should keep our facts straight.

Agreed. It’s so lame that I am more positive than ever about Thompson. Seems a lot of people are very afraid of him.

Man, there you go, being all sensible and stuff...

Don’t you know where you are?

This is a Fred Thread man.

Here you can use this:

“This decision just goes to show that Thompson is nothing more that a puppet of the Globalist Elites as well as beholden to the Bavarian Illuminati and Walt Disney’s ghost...”

Maybe this will help clarify a few things.

The following is a partial transcript of the March 11, 2007, edition of "FOX News Sunday With Chris Wallace

WALLACE: Well, let me put up on the screen something that you said last year about illegals, and let's take a look at it. "You're going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship but not make it so easy that it's unfair to the people waiting in line and abiding by the law."

Now, you said, "Look, it's just not realistic that we're going to round up 12 million people and ship them all out of the country."

THOMPSON: Well, that's true, as a general statement. We woke up one day after years of neglect and apparently discovered that we have somewhere between 12 million and 20 million illegal aliens in this country. So it became an impossible situation to deal with.

I mean, there's really no good solution. So what do you do? You have to start over. Well, I'm concerned about the next 12 million or 20 million. So that's why enforcement, and enforcement at the border, has to be primary.

I think most people feel disillusioned after 1986 when we had this deal offered to them before, and now we're insisting that, you know, we solve the security problem first, and then we'll talk about what to do with regard to other things — certainly no amnesty or nothing blanket like that.

But figure out some way to make some differentiation between the kind of people that we have here.

You know, if you have the right kind of policies, and you're not encouraging people to come here and encouraging them to stay once they're here, they'll go back, many of them, of their own volition, instead of having to, you know, load up moving vans and rounding people up. That's not going to happen.

I’ll admit that, at first glance, it’s a bit disturbing.

However, it’s Fred himself that would make policy decisions, not his advisors or his campaign staffers.

Using the same logic, Bush might well be a Tancredo conservative considering some of those who endorsed him or worked on his campaign in 2000.

Yeah that’s the problem for some of those “Hell, let’s ship out them people” crowd.

Fred wants the boarders closed and also wants REALISTIC solutions to the 12 million or so that are here. We can’t get enough man power on the streets to cut the native violent criminal population down to size. We have just over 2 Million people in our jails and its over crowded and over worked, yet people balk when the mere mention of building new facilities, their location and costs are raised. Now exactly who is going to go get these folks, who for the most part are working, and where are we going to put them until they are moved?

Work ‘em in, lock it down and THIS TIME mean it.

Fred was very questionable due to his relationship with Howard baker.

Now, Fred seems to have added another RINO “open borders” whacko to his entourage and I won’t vote for him.

A pox on RINO and “open borders” proponents.

“Birds of a feather DO FLOCK TOGETHER.”

While I liked Jeb as an individual, he had people like Colleen Castile, and many other RINO types orbiting around him.

True, Jeb’s wife was only caught smuggling taxable items through customs, so in no way can that be compared to the life of crime engaged in by a previous “First Couple” whose name ended in ‘Clinton’.

But, how one views the Constitution and the historic American set of values does show in one’s acts and in ones choice of ones colleagues, friends, wives, etc.

Therefore, Fred may accurately be said to have shown his true views with Baker and Abraham.

PS If Abraham is a co-religionist of mine, given his pro-’open borders’ activities - allow me to be the first to point out that Abraham arguably is socialism impaired. Big Sh*tty Jews do tend to be both Libroids and pro-immigrant.

I know, having been raised with them, related to some, etc.

How any American, let alone an American who is a Jew, can support socialism beggars the imagination.

Fred Thompson Hit Piece # 233

I sense a great disturbance in the force. The Ron Paul force that is. The people that keep posting this garbage on FR are following the path led by Larry Flint who is hell bent on finding scandalous dirt on any Republican he can. It’s as if they have received marching orders - Search the web all night for something to use against Fred - then post it to FR in the morning.

“A clear statement on the border issue by Thompson is needed NOW.”

Uhhhhh - “clear statement”?

Isn’t it true that talk is very cheap to a politician? Not to mention meaningless to both lawyers and actors?

What about his actions over the years? Wouldn’t they be more accurately predictive of his acts were he in the Oval office?

Just wondering.

If Reagan did “choose” Bush Sr. for Vice-President, it would been done kicking and screaming. He really had no use for the man. Bush landing the V.P. spot will, to me, remain one of the great mysteries of politics, like Ike choosing Warren and Brennan for the Supreme Court.
Are you trying to insinuate that Reagan didn't make his own decisions?
I certainly hope not, because that's something we usually only hear from the Left...
Reagan chose Bush for his foreign policy experience and above all, in order to unite the two sides of the GOP.
It was a good strategy, and it worked.
