Another neocon globalist to split the neocon globalist vote. Six letters are all you need to know about Fred, AEI and CFR. No conservative should walk within a mile of either of those globalist organizations.

He certainly is able to achieve a visual veneer of conservatism with his supporters. He even had me fooled for a time.

Thompson, the standing on the sidelines and cowering in the shadows non-candidate candidate, true to form, announcess that he will announce on the 6th and conveniently ducks and covers to avoid the debate on the 5th. His neoconservative, conservative in name only supporters, have been begging “run, Fred. run” and grasping for every excuse they can find to cover for the fact that all Fred really wants to do is “duck, Fred, duck”. As a member of the NRA and the NRLC, I fought against Thompson and his ilk on McCain-Feingold. As a citizen of California, I fought Thompson and his open borders buddy Spencer Abraham in 1996 when they sold us on immigration to provide cheap labor to corporations while we were fighting for Proposition 187 to deny public benefits to illegal aliens because the federal government refused to enforce the lays.
For those who may not be aware of this: Fred Thompson and Spencer Abraham served together in the Senate (1995-2001). While Abraham has been labeled an open borders icon that received an award from La Raza, Thompson’s immigration record is as open borders as Abraham’s. Americans for Better Immigration (ABI) career grades for Thompson and Abraham are identical on every subject and include:
Overall Career Grade = C
Subject & Grade
Reduce Chain Migration = C
Reduce Visa Lottery = C-
Reduce Unnecessary Visas = F
Reduce Fraud: Refugee & Asylum = C-
Reduce Enticement – Illegal Immigration: Amnesties= D
Reduce Illegal Immigration – Anchor Baby Citizenship = No Vote
Reduce Illegal Immigration – Other Awards = A+
Reduce Illegal Immigration – Border Enforcement = A+
Reduce Illegal Immigration – Interior Enforcement =C+

See Spencer Abraham’s Report Card here:

Also, a review of their immigration profiles indicate that Thompson and Abraham worked together on immigration issues in the senate. Thompson was a strong supporter of Abraham’s open borders immigration amendments. See immigration voting profiles for a complete record of votes. A few examples include:
Voted to strip legal reforms from 1996 bill
Sen. Thompson helped defeat legal immigration reform when he voted for Senator Spencer Abraham’s amendment to remove the legal immigration reforms from S.1664, the Immigration Control and Financial Responsibility Act of 1996. This vote effectively killed any chance of Congress considering the Jordan Commission recommendations on easing legal immigration levels.
Voted for a foreign worker bill with no anti-fraud measures in 2000.
Sen. Thompson voted for S.2045, the Abraham foreign worker bill to nearly triple the number of foreign high-tech workers. On the heels of the release of a GAO report finding no proof of a high-tech worker shortage and evidence of abuse in the H-1B program, Sen. Thompson voted for this foreign worker bill that contained no worker protections or anti-fraud measures. The bill passed the Senate 96-1.
As Committee member, produced H-1B doubling bill in 1998
Sen. Thompson was a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that created the Abraham H-1B doubling bill in 1998, S.1723. He voted with the 12-6 majority to send the bill to the floor of the Senate without safeguards for American workers.
Tried to kill voluntary pilot programs for workplace verification in 1996
Sen. Thompson voted IN FAVOR of the Abraham Amendment to S.1664. He was part of a coalition of pro-business conservatives and liberal civil libertarians who tried to use the amendment to kill the establishment of voluntary pilot programs in high-immigration states. The programs were intended to assist employers in verifying whether people they had just hired had the legal right to work in this country. Such verification is considered by many experts to be an essential tool for withdrawing the job magnet from illegal aliens. The verification system established by S.1664 did not involve an ID card. Rather it provided that when new workers wrote down their Social Security number on an application, employers could phone into a national verification system to help assure that the number was a real number and belonged to the person giving it. In earlier smaller pilot programs, businesses had hailed the verification system for making it easier for them to avoid hiring illegal aliens. Sen. Thompson was unsuccessful in stopping the voluntary verification system. The Senate tabled the by a 54-46 vote.

A poll that I found on Lew Rockwell. Register and vote, and the winner of the poll gets $1,000 donated to campaign.
I am so glad another neocon is in the race, to give Ron Paul an advantage.

Linda, the last part of your statement doesn’t mesh with fact.
Neoconservatism still has the G.O.P. base fooled…for now. Let me tell you that Thomspon’s visual VENEER of “conservatism” is very strong and seems authentic until you dissect where he stands on all the issues. He remains firmly in #2. It even had me fooled for a time.

The Republicans/conservatives that I know that are supporting Thompson are doing so because they see him as the best of a bad lot. A broadly acceptable conservative. I think a lot of people in the South support him because he is a Southerner.
