The myth that Fred Thompson is a conservative

Posted by zbigniewmazurak on July 19, 2008


Fred Thompson would be a better president than Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo or any Dem, but he is not a conservative. Melanie Morgan is a good columnist, but she’s wrong on this one. Sorry, Melanie, no offence, but you’re wrong on Fred Thompson – he’s not a conservative.
Thompson is a RINO because:
1) He voted for the Most Favoured Nation status for China, thus allowing them to receive that status and to join the WTO. This bad decision can be reversed only if America withdraws from the WTO (but it shouldn’t). The Chinese are now harming the American people by:
a) cheating (trade-wise), causing America to indebt itself because of its annual $250 bn trade deficit with China;
b) undermining the American industry; and
c) buying tanks, ships, planes and missiles for the dollars they’ve earned by exporting their inferior products.
Tom Tancredo, along with ultraconservative anti-Communists Duncan Hunter and Jesse Helms, voted against MFN status for China.
2) Thompson would reduce the American nuclear arsenal, if elected to the WH.
3) Thompson would give the US military only 4.5% of GDP.
4) He is opposed to a constitutional amendment that would ban homosexual marriages.
5) He is opposed to federal abortion bans. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=P5a_Fpu_8KE
Real conservatives, like me, would advocate federal statutes banning abortion and an anti-abortion amendment to the federal constitution.
