No bashing: What is Fred Thompson's platform?

Fred is a Chickenhawk who got a draft deferment rather than fight in Vietnam. He sounds brave now as a trained Hollywood actor. Fred is unfit for the Presidency.

Previously posted by lu2run:

"Thompson was born in 1942. In 1964 (when US involvement really started to pick up under Democrat LBJ), Thompson was just finishing his degree from Memphis State. He then went directly to law school and finished in 1967. It was perfectly normal to get deferments for being in school during those years.

Also, he was married in 1959 and had 3 kids by the time he finished law school. Both of which were reasons to get a low draft number.

Now he must have been pretty smart to know in 1959 that the US would be deep in the muck in Vietnam to marry his girlfriend to get a deferment.

How is the liberals cannot get over Vietnam? Is it because they see Vietnam as some sort of victory despite it being a loss for the US and the people of Vietnam for that matter? Is Vietnam, the great victory of the liberals? It must be since that is litmus test or so it seems."

Lots of guys fought who had families. That's no excuse. Fred is a wimp who 'acts' like a Rambo now that he's too old for the army. With his warmongering statements you figure the guy should have volunteered for Vietnam, but no, like all Chickenhawks, he has the typical lame excuse. Fred better stick with acting like a Rambo, he's in good company, Schwatzenegger, Stallone, Bruce Willis, John Wayne, also never served yet made fortunes acting the part.

I love how people in support of abortion are also very ignorant about it. Do you even know how an abortion is performed? The doctor has a tool, and he rips the babies limbs off one by one, until it is all gone.

That is terrible, terribly inefficient. You'd think with today's technology we could come up with a tool that would get all 4 limbs at once.

Too bad abortion can't be retroactive.

Let's be honest: You don't really believe that.

The matter of choice is really a matter of DNA.

When a person is accused of crime they check for what as evidence of that person having been at the scene of the crime? DNA

DNA also is a way of identifying who we are related to, i.e., who's your daddy?

Now comes the question which blows away all arguments against abortion: When do we get our DNA?

The answer: at conception

Which means that when an unborn child is killed it is not part of the woman's body, it is a body unto itself, it's just being housed in woman's body until time for birth.

Remember it's the DNA that testifies as to guilt or innocence in a court of law. And we all have unique DNA.

If you are really for pro-choice, I would vote Hillary. Im pretty sure that if you call her she will personally come perform the abortion for you. Shes very into that topic. One foot in, one foot out, she'll still bring the clippers out.

That is the most retarded crap I've read on LetsRun and I've read a lot of retarded crap.

All you need to know about Fred is that he's not a pussy-ass liberal who thinks the U.S. government is responsible for 9/11, isn't all about giving away your money to a bunch of poor people who prefer to pick up a welfare check than get a job, and isn't a bitter name-calling pussy with no platform whatsoever and doesn't think for some reason the US is 'losing' in Iraq (albeit the Iraqi army was rolled up in less than a month--yeah, tough 'loss' there).

He's not a liberal moron.

Fred is a pussy chickenhawk who hides behind the American flag. He doesn't mind sending your kid to Iraq to die for Israel, but he won't send his, nor did he fight in Vietnam during his youth. Fred is a phony patriot. Fred is a coward.

Any guy who volunteered to go to Vietnam when he had a wife and children to provide for at home was irresponsible.

Well said, my friend.

I always wondered if the Senator was tagging

Elizabeth Rohm when she was on 'Law & Order'.

Let me know when there's a scientific consensus on when a zygote becomes a living, independent organism.

Keep in mind that many zygotes are flushed out of the uterus every month. Should women be locked up for having murderous reproductive organs? Silly, of course, but last I checked, there is no scientific consensus that a fertilized egg is an independent, living organism.

He's one of them daggum trial lawyers like john edwards.

If Fred is the best the Repubicans can come up with then they're certainly screwed.

Of course the same can be said of the Democrats. It's America that's screwed because we've got a bunch of imbeciles running for office. Ron Paul is the only one I've seen that's not got serious problems.

This time the GOP candidates have family values worse than the Dems. They are all divorced but Romney. But Romney is in some kind of religious cult they tell me and is a chickenhawk, in fact all the GOP but McCain are chickenhawks. All but Ron Paul are warmongering Zionists. The GOP is in big doo doo. The Dems suck and are all lousy Zionists too. There doesn\'t seem to be any Americans running for president again this time. All we have on both sides are representative of foreign countries.
