Can we write off Fred Thompson now?

It seems that conservatives are about to make the same mistake that they made in 2000. Every Cassandra warned the movement conservatives that GW Bush was a liberal, but they were all duped by his "compassionate conservatism," which we since have learned really means "liberal globalism."

Now, despite all the warnings, they are about to be conned by Fred Thompson too - another neocon (aka liberal globalist). Will they get what they deserve? Can people really be so shortsighted? In 2011 will we hear GOP cheerleaders, "If only I had known....".. just like most of those who voted for Bush are now.

If you only watch Fox News to see your candidate's positions, et me give you some backround on fred.

First and foremost, let's ponder immigration, the greatest threat facing the West today. As Jean Raspail foretold in Camp of the Saints, the "best conservative novel ever written," a third-world invasion of the West is taking place, and we must make a stand - before it is too late.

Although tough talking on border control, fred thompson has a rather weak record from his time in the senate. Americans for Better Immigration only gave him a career grade of a "c". And on chain migration, visa lotteries, reducing unnecessary visas, asylum fraud, and reducing amnesties, he received rather low marks.*

Thompson is almost certainly pro-abortion, regardless what he feigns. He has said, "the ultimate decision must be made by the woman." In other words, he believes it's a "choice."

Thompson is pro-affirmative action, and his two votes in the Senate guaranteed that under-qualified minorities would be given preference over Euro-Americans (i.e. white people). Thompson obviously believes that victimology should trump hard work.

and like all neocons, Thompson supports free trade, which is destroying our economy and undermining our sovereignty. Historically, conservatives opposed free trade, and they should; it's national suicide. But Thompson like many GOP cheerleaders has been "neoconned" on this issue.

In foreign policy, Fred Thompson is an adamant neocon globalist. He is a fellow at the neocon american enterprise institute, and a member of the neocon / neoliberal council on Foreign Relations, which supports the creation of a North American Union and the eradication of American sovereignty.

Fred Thompson is no real conservative. He's a neocon globalist. Only look at his past actions, memberships and words.

We already have three real conservatives in the running (Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter) and let's give them the support they deserve. If Fred Thompson receives the nomination, I'm voting Constitution or Libertarian Party.

EDIT:

I agree with earthman(not about voting for fred) , the so-called "top-tier" candidates are the worst of the worst. Two of them support gun control/bans, two of them are pro-abortioin, Rudy is a nightmare of an authoritarian, and McCain is probably too liberal for the democrats.

No, it is certainly not as damaging as Romney's miraculous conversion into a conservative, Rudy G.'s affairs and support of illegal aliens, or Juan McCain's support of the Senate Shamnesty bill. I am not a big Fred Thompson fan, but I would prefer him to John McAmnesty or Rudy Giuliani.

I think Thompson's just testing the waters now... probably stuck his head up to see how much he'd get shot at... before deciding to jump into the race.

Biased AP news based on heresay and opinion.

Says it all.

A historion believed

"he meant something different from what his question was and only later changed his meaning (to the same question)"

You can't write off the number 2 most popular GOP candidate - but I think the real threat the cons hoped he would bring hasn't materialized. Too much baggage and his politics are too much like Bush.

Why, I didn't read anything that any party affiliate wouldn't do. After all he was a rep. back then so why would he do anything to discredit his party even if it was Nixon. I think 30 years matures person don't you.

He still better than any Dem. running.

Sure. I doubt you seriously considered Fred to begin with, if that article has done him in for you.

I wrote him off, several months ago.

Yes please.
