For me, the things Thompson actually did in the Senate (and what he said on the Senate floor in support of what he did) are very telling, because they give us a view into his real principles. What he’s said during this testing the waters phase of his candidacy is in line with what he said back in the Senate — I posted his Senate remarks because they’re much more in-depth and extensive than what you’ll get in a campaign speech or interview. Your willingness to write them off as irrelevant indicates to me that you’re not really interested in the info — so good luck to you.
That was the best you could find?
With respect, I was not looking for long winded, years old, dated material, that was rambling at best.
I did not write them off, and only asked for relevant material. You posted very dated material, years old, much of which was directed at then President Clinton. Come on.
Honestly, nothing you posted impressed me in the least.
Years old speeches in the Senate don't cut it. I simply asked for someone to show me Thompson's outrage over this expanding government and our lawless borders. I wanted to see, as a representative, where his outrage was, and where he was demanding something be done.
If we're going to chose a president, this time we'd better chose one with some fire in the belly, one who is genuinely outraged over expanding government, and our chaotic, lawless borders.
Otherwise, conservatives will lose big in 08.
