Americans for Better Immigration - gives Thompson "C"

I agree. That’s what we need from Thompson. Whatever he is, I don’t think he’s a leightweight. He’ll have answers. They may be off track, but I don’t think he’s the type to not have a plan at all.

Kerry? Well after all...

[T.L.Sink]

Interesting information - thanks

Freepers are smart enough to separate the facts from the rhetoric. That's why Duncan Hunter will be our next president. Time is on our side.

Americans for Better Immigration lists an array of issues he voted on when he was in the Senate.

I had to laugh last night during the debate when Rudy referred to him as “the actor who played me in NYC.”

[Mr. Mojo]

Pretty darn damning.

Ellery hasn’t posted here yet. You should wait until he does before you make such declarations. NumbersUSA has misrepresented a number of votes of Fred’s quite clearly. They’ve claimed he has voted for things that he hasn’t and they’ve also misrepresented what bills say and don’t say. Ellery has all the details.

I know you don’t care, because I know you don’t have a single principle in your entire warped little mind.

And BTW, how about we put some money on the idea that Duncan Hunter will be our next president? I’ll put up $2500 that says he won’t. Wanna take the action?

oh, i get it!

let’s elect hillary because fred’s record on immigration doesn’t meet our standards.

/s

There’s a poster who has researched the whole thing and ripped numbersUSA to shreds. I’ve pinged him to the thread, so he can detail his research.

[T.L.Sink]

I agree with all those criteria for choosing a candidate. But Fred’s mediocre and indifferent stance regarding illegal immigration is one more factor that should be thrown into the mix.

No. I'm a conservative--not a liberaltarian. I don't want to gamble, buy any prostitutes, drugs, or anything else of the sort, either.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

LOL! Very well, then.

"Ellery hasn’t posted here yet. You should wait until he does before you make such declarations. NumbersUSA has misrepresented a number of votes of Fred’s quite clearly."

I'll post what I like in comments. NumbersUSA is right, and quotes from the congressional record will support that. ...quotes directly from the Government record, copied and pasted as often as necessary forever and ever thereafter. ;-)

Hillary has nothing to do with the GOP primaries; any of the candidates can beat her, despite the assertions by many around here that only their guy (fill in the blank) is capable of doing so -- a desperate tactic that few fall for.

[T.L.Sink]

Immigration is now a hot issue for the base so I don’t take everything said recently by any politician too seriously. I look at the TOTAL PAST RECORD. By the way, it’s Robert Rector from Heritage, not Richter. Also, even the RINOs are now trying to be tough on border security. When Tancredo and Hunter were fighting the good fight - they weren’t to be found!

hope you right

and me, wrong.

i’m don’t know how you know that....

[Mr. Mojo]

Because she's so damn off-putting in every conceivable way. By this time next year a sufficient quantity of the electorate will be willing to do anything to keep her out of the WH. Heck, even the Breck Girl might beat her out in the primaries.

[T.L.Sink]

No, let’s elect Tancredo or Hunter and let Fred go back to Law and Order.
