No, Ron Paul can and then some, you CFR traitors!

[qednick]

No!

The Reagan revolution was a response to the incompetence of the Carter administration.

Thompson has more in common with Dukakis than Reagan.

The revolutionary candidate this cycle is Ron Paul.

If Thompson plays the role of Reagan, 99.5% of the US population will be serfs at the end of the 8 years and the rest will live in 100 acre fenced in mansions with security guards posted around the perimeter.

Yes, Thompson can, and will if he gets in, play the role of Reagan.

The sad legacy of Ronald Reagan is that he increased government and its voracious appetite for power and spending, just like every president in history has.

In 1980, Jimmy Carter's last year as president, the federal government spent a whopping 27.9% of "national income", which is a bogus and totally inappropriate way to refer to the private wealth produced by the American people, Reagan blasted the free-spending Carter administration throughout his 1980 campaign.

So how did the Reagan administration do?

At the end of the first quarter of 1988, federal spending accounted for 28.7% of "national income."

"Candidate" Reagan promised to abolish (along with the Department of Energy) the Department of Education, instead, the budget more than doubled to $22.7 billion. Social Security spending rose from $179 billion in 1981 to $269 billion in 1986. Other "entitlements" like the farm programs went from $21.4 billion in 1981 to $51.4 billion in 1987, a 140% increase. And this doesn't count $4 billion "drought-relief" measure. Medicare spending in 1981 was $43.5 billion; in 1987 it hit $80 billion. Federal entitlements cost $197.1 billion in 1981—and $477 billion in 1987.

This is exactly what we will get under Fred Thompson. More of the same. Just like Bush v.1 and 2.

hmmm not buying it :) the story has little substance, really...

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Wherever you see someone talking about Thompson on the net, be sure to mention that FT is behind the North American Union, our new borderless world, erego he sucks on immigration. A lot of "conservatives" don't know that and would not be happy.

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Thompson joined Sen. John McCain of Arizona in supporting campaign finance reform, an anti-Washington cause that was not popular with conservatives.

Oh, you mean that little bonfire they had for the Constitution? Go ahead, throw the whole thing in Fred. Don't let a little piece of paper keep you from your borderless utopian world.
