"If that qualifies one to be president I vote for Toby Keith."

Amen and damned straight to that!

Well, maybe, after all of these years, you’re posting at the wrong site. Ya think— I mean, given who supports FDT at this site? And, by the way, given your post, I marvel at your username.

Huck is running for president or vice president. It is now obvious that fred is running on ego and nothing else.

Huck should give some fiber to his balloon bottom son he’s got.

Advice: Don’t “not vote”, instead write someone in. At least then you participated. I plan to do the same if no true conservative is nominated.

Let the GOP rethink what they are doing when they lose. I’m tired of folks saying “you get who you vote for”. Well, they only give us crap to vote for, what do you expect.

Go Fred Go.

Because Mike Huckabee does not give a damn about this country. How can one like somebody who loves illegal aliens, pardons for criminals, and more taxes?

With such a well-reasoned argument like that I have just decided to support Fred. Go Fred!

Huck seems to know all about fiber to give Fred advice.

By the way, what’s Huck’s latest view on immigration?

“maybe fred was right, maybe he wasn’t. But huckabee’s response does not make him the devil incarnate.”

If I were a Huckabee supporter I certainly would take the time to FIND OUT if Fred was RIGHT. Becasue if Huckabee only makes snide remarks instead of defending his record, that sure says a LOT! I have not found Fred Thompson changing his stands on issues OR making any statement that is not true. So maybe it is time for you to check out your candidate. Make sure he is telling the truth. I know Fred Thompson is! GO FRED!

“But huckabee’s response does not make him the devil incarnate.”

Maybe not but it does show how he thinks...immaturely, and without substance. He could have and should have gone on an attack of Fred in the same vein Fred attacked him. ON RECORD. But since he could not do that he falls back on childish retorts. Oh yeah...this man would be just great sitting across the table with one of our enemies. I can see it now...
But Ahmadinejad are you in a bad mood today? Maybe you should have taken your Metamucil. Yeah that would work.

Looks like Huckabee’s getting a lot of mileage out of this joke. That makes it better than “Where’s the Beef?”

If Huck gets in ...the people that supported him better be prepared to be praying 24/7, because we will all need the prayers.

He is simply saying that Fred is full of sh___. This is a pet saying of his, though he normally just calls the party constipated.

“By the way, what’s Huck’s latest view on immigration?”

Securing our borders must be our top priority and has reached the level of a national emergency.

I support the $3 billion the Senate has voted for border security. This money will train and deploy 23,000 more agents, add four drone planes, build 700 miles of fence and 300 miles of vehicle barriers, and put up 105 radar and camera towers. This money will turn “catch and release” into “catch and detain” of those entering illegally, and crack down on those who overstay their visas.

In this age of terror, immigration is not only an economic issue, but also a national security issue. Those caught trying to enter illegally must be detained, processed, and deported. As Governor, I ordered my state troopers to work with the Department of Homeland Security to arrest illegals and enforce federal immigration law.

I oppose and will never allow amnesty. I opposed the amnesty President Bush and Senator McCain tried to ram through Congress this summer, and opposed the misnamed DREAM Act, which would have put us on the slippery slope to amnesty for all.

I oppose and will not tolerate sanctuaries for illegals. The federal government must crack down on rogue cities that willfully undermine our economy and national security.
I oppose giving driver’s licenses to illegals and supports legislation to prevent states from doing so. In 2005, I signed legislation that prevents illegals in Arkansas from getting driver’s licenses.

I will stop punishing cities which try to enforce our laws and protect the economic well-being, physical safety, and quality of life of their citizens.

I oppose and will not tolerate employers who hire illegals. They must be punished with fines and penalties so large that they will see it is not worth the risk.
I oppose the economic integration of North America that would create open borders among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. I will never yield one iota or one inch of our sovereignty.

I will take our country back for those who belong here. No open borders, no amnesty, no sanctuary, no false Social Security numbers, no driver’s licenses for illegals.

I know that securing our borders must be our top priority and has reached the level of a national emergency. I am as sick and tired as you are that it is harder for us to get on an airplane in our home town than it is for all these illegals to cross our international border unchallenged.

We cannot stem the tide of illegals until we turn the tide. Before you fix the damage to your house caused by a leaking roof, you have to stop the leak, which I am determined to do.

I supported the $3 billion Congress passed this summer for border security. This desperately-needed money will train and deploy 23,000 more agents, add four drone planes, build 700 miles of fence and 300 miles of vehicle barriers, and put up 105 radar and camera towers. This money will turn “catch and release” into “catch and detain” of those entering illegally and crack down on those who overstay their visas.

But where is this $3 billion? The President threatened to veto the bill it was part of! Now the Senate has again voted for this money as part of the Defense Bill. I will continue to fight until we get these funds.

In this age of terror, immigration is not only an economic issue, but also a national security issue. We must know who is coming into our country, where they are going, and why they are here. All those who are caught trying to enter illegally must be detained, processed, and deported. As Governor, I ordered my state troopers to work with the Department of Homeland Security to arrest illegals and enforce federal immigration law.

I oppose and will never allow amnesty. I passionately rejected the amnesty bill that President Bush and Sen. McCain tried to ram through Congress this summer after secret meetings of an under-the-radar cabal of amnesty-loving senators.

I opposed the misnamed DREAM Act, which was a nightmare because it would have put us on the slippery slope to amnesty for all. Because once we open that door even a crack, we’ll never get it closed again.

I oppose and will not tolerate sanctuaries for illegals. The federal government must enforce our existing laws by cracking down on rogue cities and towns that willfully undermine our economy and our homeland security by giving benefits and protection to illegals. The consequences for illegal entry must be swift, certain, and uniform throughout our country.

I oppose giving driver’s licenses to illegals, such as Governor Spitzer tried to do in New York. I support legislation that would prevent the states from granting this privilege to illegals. In 2005, I signed legislation that prevents illegals in Arkansas from getting driver’s licenses.

I will stop punishing cities which are trying to enforce our laws. I will appoint judges who will uphold the law, not side with the ACLU against cities like Hazelton, Pennsylvania, which are trying to protect the economic well-being, physical safety, and quality of life of their citizens.

I will not tolerate employers who hire illegals - they must be punished by fines and penalties so large that they will understand it is not worth the risk. Once again, as with Hazelton, liberal judges are gumming up the works. Right now, a court in San Francisco — Pelosiland - has delayed enforcement of the “no match” letters for Social Security numbers that the Department of Homeland Security will use to crack down on those who hire illegals. If illegals cannot find work, they will go back where they belong. I will do everything I can to hasten their trip home by denying them employment.

I strongly oppose the economic integration of North America that would have open borders among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. I know we must have closed and secure borders. I will never yield either one inch or one iota of our sovereignty. I will recognize no authority but our Constitution.

I will take our country back for those who belong here and those who are willing to play by the rules for the privilege to come here. No open borders, no amnesty, no sanctuary, no false Social Security numbers, no driver’s licenses for illegals.

"Those leaning Democrat ..well it tends to be more about services...raising wages, large ss checks, medical benefits etc. I guess it just depends on if you feel it is better for our country to save and prepare for the future or spend."

The Democrats (and some Repubs) are trying to expand government assistance from a safety net to Socialism, this is not what Conservatism stands for.

Freegards, Yankee.

I don’t know where you been or what you have been reading but I think you got that backwards. Huck is about Huck.
