“Spence Abrahamson is a good guy. Oh, I see, anyone - at all - of Arab decent is automatically suspect. Get real!
That’s it. Play the race card. Although I’ve never understood how race plays into anything here as Arabs are not a suppressed minority to my knowledge. Plus, it is what he has supported policy-wise that counts, and he has supported Arab causes and groups detrimental to U.S. policy, has tried to thwart stopping the illegal immigrants flooding into our country, and gave away knowledge to enemy Arab countries regarding nuclear energy policy and protections while Energy Secretary. You argue like a Dem.
Damn the naysayers and false conservatives! Damn the torpedoes! Run, Fred, Run!!
“If you are of arab decent, you are an anti-semite, according to her.”
Careful here. Debbie Schussel is a Jew, and one might think by your constant personal attacks on her character that perhaps it is you who might be the anti-semite. I’d prefer not to believe that, but you are willing to believe the worst of her, so you leave yourself open to attack for one to think the worst of you too with regard to Debbie.
Untwist those panties! I do not feel the need to refute the claims of a hysterical columnist because she sees a jihadi in Fred’s campaign.
P.S. You also need to not be so mixed up about just which president would sell Israel out to preserve a legacy.
“Always liked Debbie Schlussel, but her public support for the campaign of the liberal Rudy Giuliani looses her all credibility with this conservative.”
Debbie supports Rudy because of his hard-line stance on terrorism and his stable and consistent support of Israel. He wouldn’t sell Israe out, like Bush/Rice are doing. If I were Jewish and her, I too would look fondly upon Rudy in this particular area of policy, which is what Debbie mostly blogs about. That is her area of expertise, primarily. Rudy went through 9/11 and he knows what and who the enemy really is. Too bad he sucks on social issues.

“Former US Senator Spencer Abraham’s role is being compared to the way Don Evans served George W. Bush as a confidant/counselor in 1999 and 2000.”
From the article “Jeri Factor” linked above. Scary. Don Evans was a RINO. And if this is true, then Abraham, and his pro-Arab advocacy, will be influencing Fred Thompson from his perch as “confidant/counselor” whenever Mid East matters arise. Great.
“P.S. You also need to not be so mixed up about just which president would sell Israel out to preserve a legacy.”
I’m afraid Bush/Rice would, w/Tony Blair (Labor Party) as emissary, in order to establish his legacy. He’s looking for his Jimmy Carter Camp David Accord moment in history. Not good. And w/Olmert in charge of Israel, he stands a chance to make as bad a “deal” for Israel as he was trying to make with the “illegal immigration bill” to establish his legacy. Having failed at that one, he is now trying to make his mark w/a Middle East deal. The Shamnesty bill wasn’t good for the U.S.; any Middle East deal that he will shove down Israel’s throat won’t be either.
Wrong Thompson. Consider the one who has ALWAYS been vocally pro-life, is 100% against ANY amnesty, pledged to NEVER raise taxes as POTUS, pledged to sign the FairTax into the law the moment it gets to his desk, and has publically called for Agents Ramos and Compean to receive a full pardon ... and interesting enough, NONE of those positions have been taken by Fred.
Oh, and THIS Thompson has been elected statewide FOUR times in a SWING state, running as a reliable proven conservative.
His name is TOMMY Thompson -- www.tommy2008.com
I wouldn't vote for Hillary; she just looks too . . . . too. . . socialist.

who asked you??
I like Tancredo too.
It's known as "killing the messenger."
Schlussel goes over the top with her rhetoric at times, but there's nothing here that hasn't been reported before about Abraham. Much was written, after the horror of 9/11, about our failure to track visa holders, and Abraham's name was always mentioned as one of those leading the charge to thwart that effort.
That's an easy one: "President Al Gore."
If these things are true about Spencer Abraham, and that appears to be the case, how does it make one a fake conservative that they are alarmed that Fred Thompson seeks counsel with someone who supports “all Islamists who want to endanger America a pro-Islamist”?
B/S.
Schlussel did not say Abraham was a muslim. She pointed out that he is a Maronite Christian.
Tom Tancredo/Duncan Hunter
Thats why last week I decided to be for Hunter(see my tagline). I want no person that has too many Bush people working for them.
We need to clean out the Bush and Clinton people and get the US back.
Hunter's policy on immigration and national security give us the "return to sanity" of conservative leadership. I want no more big surprises and crossing my fingers that who we back will betray the US citizens.
