Pissant, please provide the bill numbers (you also may want to read 337 re the immigration votes too)
Hey!
You’re getting personal here!
I quit eating kids years ago...
The dog kicking thing was just a misunderstanding...
Thanks. I had a feeling.
Wouldn’t know. I can’t see tossing money his way just to find out.
It’s not hypocricy BillyBob, it’s judgment based on facts and alternatives at hand.
Every candidate has warts. People look at each candidate and make a judgment as to which has the least warts or warts that can be treated or overlooked.
The facts are obvious... so are the warts.
Most conservatives are fed up with “compassionate conservatives” like the Bush family, aka globalist appeasers first.
Most are not hardcore blame American first, last and often isolationists like Ron Paul, or even “fence building one trick ponys” like Duncan Hunter.
Most are not closet liberals like Rudy Giuliani either. McCain’s time has passed. Tancredo, Huckkabee, Brownback and the others fail to resonate with voters.
Romney is a special case all his own.... Judge that one for yourself.
NO “career politician” like Hunter, Paul, McCain, Tancredo or Brownback will ever be seen as real “conservatives” because real conservatives would never be career politicians.
That set of conditions set conservatives on the path to find a candidate they could believe in, both based upon conservative values and electability. That effort resulted in the drafting of one Fred Thompson....
It’s not hypocricy... It’s conservative grassroots activism at it’s best.
>Who’s he keeping company with? (I didn’t find a list anywhere on this thread.)
Then you didn’t read the article. Ronald Reagan walked with conservatives.
FDT walks with moderates and globalists. Mentioned in the article were: John McCain, LaMar Alexander, very liberal Sally Quinn and her husband, editor of the Washington Post, and long time good buddy, globalist Howard Baker (instrumental in giving away the Panama Canal), who is today FDT’s closest advisor. Not to mention the several CFR staff members of globalist GWB who have joined the Thompson campaign.

What’s your source?
Re: Kyl ... this is bit off topic, but I agree with you. Conservatives being mad at Kyl is understandable. For conservatives to seek his defeat would be a short-sighted, self-immolating tantrum.
Dissents are not law. The majority opinion, to which the dissenter responding is the law.
If you knew who I was, you’d be embarrased to talk constitutional law with me...
I have embarrased my fair share of Harvard and Yale professors on the subject of constitutional law.
Really want to give it a try?
Get it from the library then. D’souza was a Reagan skeptic, bought into the lazy, unengaged stereotype of a simpleton that the MSM had painted of him. Until he got to see him up close working for him.
Fred’s Record -
Voted YES to kill voluntary pilot programs for workplace verification. (1996)
Voted YES on maintaining the chain migration system. (1996)
Voted YES on removed higher fines for businesses which hire ILLEGAL aliens (1996)
Vote YES grant amnesty to nearly one million ILLEGAL aliens from Nicaragua, along with their spouses and minor unmarried children. (1997)
Voted NO on including worker safeguards in H-1B bill (1998)
Voted YES for foreign worker bill with no anti-fraud provisions. (2000)

All of these were anti-business bills, not anti-illegal immigration bills....
Can’t you tell the difference?

Exactly, and you know what they say about repeating a lie. Eventually it will be accepted by some as the truth.
It is disingenuous of you to claim Fred Thompson has Bush people therefore it makes him suspicious when all of the top tier candidates have successful campaign folks associated with them. And in Washington to be considered top notch or successful, you would have to be associated with winners, thus President GW Bush, President GHW Bush, and President Reagan.
Guess we need to strike him from the books...
Oh, and please look up the BIO of one Kenneth M. Duberstein, Reagan’s Chief of Staff circa 1988-89. He’s a CFR member. Guess either Ronnie did not always walk with conservatives OR ???
And that is one example...
BTW, nice Hunter speech intro earlier, you need to get on staff
Are you saying you agree with the majority?
Because the only authorities the majority cited were a couple of books that no one has ever heard of or cares about.
Buckley can't be a conservative, he's a member of the CFR!
