Fred Thompson on the Parker case.

[Mortech]

Used against him ?? Oh let them try , it wil only motivate 2A proponents to vote for him . Also as a former gongressman he does have a track record to be examined .

 

[glockman19]

I admire any politician that speaks of uncompromised support for the Constitution and Individual Rights. When was the last time ANY elected official spoke so truthfully about the 2nd Amendment?

I am searching for a candidate that will bring integrity back to the office and so far Fred Thompson, who is still not running, is commanding my attention. I believe that if he were part of the debate he would have garnered allot of support.

He is correct in his interpretation of the 2nd and the Parker case that I hope will be heard by the Supreme Court.

If Democracy is still alive and has a heart beat then perhaps the 80 million + gun owners should start a petition drive that will show the elected where we stand on the issue. In the last election there were a total of 221,256,931,(Voting age population), of whom 122,294,978 voted. 80 million registered gun owners represents 75% of the total votes in the last presidential election and approx. 27% of all of the Voting age population, many who cannot qualify to vote.

Thompson is globalist scum, he supports the North American Union and wants a common currency for Canada, mexico and the US.

Someone has 'anotherronaldreagan' in their tag line...

Do we really want another president who:
-Gave Amnesty to millions of illegal aliens
-Pioneered open borders while at the same time trying to claim he was fighting a war on drugs?
-Signed off on some of the most sweeping gun control legislation ever to be passed? (1986 ban)

Yeah, thats just what we need, another traitor.

Without any evidence to back it up, this statement has about the same value as my saying Ron Paul is a neo-nazi who supports re-opening the concentration camps.

 

[tyme]

What more do people want?

I want a candidate who respects limits to government intrusion into social policy across the board, rather than trying to shove religious morals down everyone's throat.

I want a candidate who respects the international community, but who realizes that as long as countries are at vastly different stages of socioeconomic development, the U.S. must concern itself first with controlling immigration and international trade with a view toward concerns about international equity, humanitarian and environmental consequences, and stability and development for the involved developing countries.

I want a candidate who I trust to know good science from bad science, and to give good science a chance rather than cutting it off when it offends some arbitrary and scientifically indefensible moral system.

I want a candidate with strong opposition to automated domestic "intelligence" collection and storage.

I want a candidate who not only has a list of grievances with the status quo, but who has a compelling vision for the future. Our leaders should inspire us, as well as run the country well.

Finally, I want voting system reform, so that it's possible for a third party to get votes without skewing the biannual major-party contest. Only then can truly respectable candidates emerge and expect to get votes.

Hey, you asked.

What exactly is your point?

There are a lot of politicians who claim to be for the 2nd.
I have, over the years, heard a lot of talk and little action.
McCain and Guliani claim to be for the 2nd. It is lip service.
Fred Thompson may be serious about it, I am not sure. I think he might be a better choice than some of the others. But he is not in the race yet. Most of his positions are a vote for "more of the same", and that is not good enough, for me.
One candidate has been consistently for the 2nd and for the Constitution.
He has been writing on it for many years, and authored a bill that NO one has cosponsored. All the others that say they are pro-2nd, are ignoring it but voting for more "reasonable" restrictions.
If Ron Paul has no chance come 2008, I may hold my nose and vote for Fred, IF he seems the best choice.
Right now I will work for Ron Paul, and Hope for change.

 

[pcosmar]

the point was that Fred had written on the Parker decision was also covered by others. Ron Paul wrote the piece I posted, in his weekly "Straight Talk".
You can go back through his writings over the years and find that it is consistant.

[camacho]

wants a common currency for Canada, mexico and the US.

I also would like to see proof of that. This is the first time I hear it. As to Fred, yes he supports globalization and I do not like that myself. The bottom line here is do you want a President with whom you disagree on very few things, or you want Hillary or Obama with whom you disagree on everything. All of the Presidential candidates who have shot at the White House support globalization in one form or another. This is how it is.

At the present time, Fred is the only hope for possibly not having Hillary as President in 2008. Still, it will be an uphill battle anyways since George W. is trying very hard to decimate the Republican Party. By the time the election is held people might be running away from Republicans like the plague. Then even Fred Thompson will not matter. I just hope this does not happen.

I agree. However, I wasn't talking about McCain or Guliani. I won't be voting for either of them in any case.

Additionally, I don't think I have ever seen McCain or Guliani write anything as strong and unequivocal as what Thompson wrote on Parker (or what he wrote after VT). Their lip service comments always set off my "BS meter," because they're always couched in "hunters and sportsmen" or "reasonable restrictions" talk.

I've never gotten that read off of anything Thompson wrote. I don't agree with everything he's ever written, but everything I've ever read of his I can at least respect because he takes clear, meaningful, principled stands on the issues.

I do think he is a different kind of animal than McCain, Guliani, or Hilary/Obama for that matter, and I don't think he's ever done or said anything that justifies lumping him together with that crowd.

I can't believe most Ft supporters haev no idea of his actual political works. Doesn't anyone reasearch their canidate first?

His views expressed with his working on the council on foreign relations should make anyone sick:

You guys need to watch more lou dobbs.

 

[jpk1md]

Prometheus, that great to post links to those sites but I believe people are looking for specific links where Fred Thompson is quoted as saying some of the things that you claim he has.

 

[tenbase]

http://vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=22003

circa 1994 but still relevant.

 

[Correia]

Thompson is globalist scum, he supports the North American Union and wants a common currency for Canada, mexico and the US.

And he also wants to enslave us all to the Reptoids of the hollow earth, is responsible for the missing honey bees, and personally mutilated my cattle.

 

[El Tejon]

I knew it! Utah=Beehive State=missing bees (in superabundance here)=Fred Thompson=CFR=NAU!!!

I was making Devil's Tower out of my sushi Friday night. I knew there was a connection!

Language like this will earn Mr. Thompson many volunteers and much money from the gun culture.

 

[Spot77]

Just wait...he IS coming...trust me

Nope, Not until Standing Wolf says so.

Anybody remember this gem:

"America isn't dumb enough to elect that Kerry creature"???????

 

[EVIL5LITER]

What part of "Ron Paul does not have a snowball's chance in hades" do you not understand?

Paul is just as un-electable as Kucinich. Until you understand that, we cannot let you participate in the big boy discussions.

Hell, I'm going to put Skeletor up for President. At least he seems to be tough on He-Man.

 

[Titan6]

What part of "Ron Paul does not have a snowball's chance in hades" do you not understand?

Were the election held today Paul would easily beat Thompson. Thompson is not running.

Paul is just as un-electable as Kucinich. Until you understand that, we cannot let you participate in the big boy discussions.

Look we know you are afraid of freedom. You don't have to tell everybody.

 

[Cosmoline]

What is Fred Thompson's position on the Federal Reserve?

And what's this feller's stance on the Gold Standard? Does he fav'r annexation of the Oregon country? We should at least try to keep the issues in THIS century. Or the last one. LOL

His views expressed with his working on the council on foreign relations should make anyone sick:
www.cfr.org
For his views on the NAU, check out this
www.spp.gov

These links don't say anything about Thompson. You need to offer some kind of evidence here.

And he also wants to enslave us all to the Reptoids of the hollow earth, is responsible for the missing honey bees, and personally mutilated my cattle.

Let me be the first to welcome our new Reptoid masters!

 

[jerkyman45]

While I do like Ron Paul, let's face it, he is not really a marketable candidate to the country as a whole (sadly). Fred Thompson is pulling third in many scientific polls on the Republican presidential candidates and he has only expressed interest in running. This a viable candidate, he won two terms in TN by more then 20 points each, he a charismatic man with the ability to lead. I like his positions on most issues, not all, never been a big fan of anything but self-suffeciency for the country's economy, hence I am not a proponent of the globalization of our economy. Despite this position, I sincerely believe that Thompson is the best candidate, and this paper on the Parker case affirms that for me, he is a strong supporter of our Constitutional rights, and I don't think he is spewing BS like Mitt Romney's little thing where "he has gone hunting all his life" when he has gone hunting twice and is only pandering to the RKBA supporting voting block. Thompson is a legitimate candidate who does waffle on issues, and does not try and make himself out to be anything that he isn't. He is who he is, and I hope he goes all the way in 2008. Sure would be cool to see him pick up Ron Paul as a running mate, that would be an amazing ticket.

 

[USMCBulldog]

. Thompson is a legitimate candidate who does waffle on issues, and does not try and make himself out to be anything that he isn't.

Ahm....He is an ACTOR...that means he pretends to be other people and fakes his feelings for a living. He is a professional pretender, so it is his JOB to look sincere even when he is 100% fake. He should be able to lie to us all with a straight face since he's had years of practice.

Once again, style will beat substance in the shallow and superficial game of politics.

All I can say is I'm glad the good looking, skilled liar is on our side.
