Thompson’s arguments against the export act, discussing important national security threats and delivered on Sept. 4, 2001 were directed against Bush.
Thompson’s recent statements on these issues are widely available here on FR — if you’re interested, just go through the key word index and you’ll find them (or browse the fredthompson index). It’s not worthwhile for me to find them for you, because you and I apparently differ on what’s impressive and important. So, it’s best that you look and judge for yourself. If nothing in those speeches impressed you in the least, I also suspect we differ so greatly in priorities that I wouldn’t be able to help you even if I had time.

Export act?
Hmm...
Here is my original post to this thread
___________________________________________________________
I've never heard him rail against this ever growing government or our lawless borders. Before this current up coming election, never have I seen him stand up in Congress or anywhere else, and voice outrage at the state of affairs in this country.
Some people just keep saying, "Boy, I hope Fred is the next President". And that's it.
What's he done? Where is the leadership? Has he stood up in Congress or anywhere else, and pounded on the tables demanding less government and secured borders?

Again, to be honest, the years old speech you provided from Thompson, was just not impressive, and had little to do with what I'm talking about. It just rambled.
I like Fred, but you know what? We need someone that is as outraged over the above issues as most of us Americans are. And I just have not seen that in Thompson.
For example, during the Bush years, this illegal invasion of our country has *exploded*.
And I don't recall hardly hearing a peep from Thompson.
Just a guess, but I'd say we need someone a bit more tuned into reality.
