With Fred Thompson out of the race for President, this site has been rather dormant for some time. I am in the process of making a transition from a Fred Thompson site to a more general theme. This will require a change in content and also a new address. I will post any changes here as they are implemented.

Thank you,
Tim

Last summer after John McCain teamed up with his “friend” Ted Kennedy and tried to quietly usher through the “Kennedy/McCain Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill”; the outraged American public reacted. Capital Hill was flooded with so many calls that it overloaded the phone system. John McCain’s negative numbers soared, and it was commonly accepted that his political future was over. What happened to that outrage? Where did all of those concerned citizens go?

John McCain has now been christened by the Mainstream Media (MSM), and appears to be on his way to receiving the nomination. Last summer the American public showed that they could buck the MSM and make a difference, but they now seem to have disappeared. Last summer the immigration issue was important enough to awaken the public voice, but now we are selecting our nominee for President of these United States and the public appears thoroughly disinterested. The majority of Americans are more attentive to their daily reality shows than with the reality that we are surrendering this country to its most liberal and destructive forces. WAKE UP AMERICA!

We know what the Democrat alternatives are, and understand what either of them would mean to the issues that are important to us. Now we are about to nominate a Republican candidate that espouses many of the same views as Hillary and Obama. In a 2005 interview on meet the press McCain even stated, “I am sure that Senator Clinton would make a good president”. McCain is too quick to compliment liberals and criticize conservatives. The MSM often praises McCain for “reaching across the aisle.” That is a very short reach, “my friend.”

If we examine the most important legislative accomplishments of Mr. McCain, we see that he not only reaches across the aisle, he jumps across and joins the other side.
McCain - Feingold Campaign Finance Bill - We are all aware of this bill limiting our first amendment right to free speech and spawning the many liberal “527 groups” such as Move-On.org and Media Matters. On this bill, McCain teamed with liberal Democrat Russ Feingold.
McCain - Kennedy Comprehensive Immigration Bill - This bill was an amnesty bill. It included a weak border security plan as an afterthought, to be completed some time in the future. Up front, the bill provided illegals with all the benefits of citizenship and only minor penalties in the form of small fines. It even offered special rights not available to any legal citizen, such as mandating in-state tuition rates to illegal immigrants. On this bill, McCain teamed with his long time friend, ultra liberal Democrat Teddy Kennedy.
McCain - Lieberman Global Warming Bill - This bill calls for major mandatory restrictions on US businesses, and mandates that the US honor international global warming treaty obligations. McCain seems all too quick to surrender our sovereignty to “international authority”. Like McCain, Democrat Joe Lieberman is good on national defense but very liberal on most other issues.

Do you want to be outraged?

View this very telling interview that Michelle Malkin had on Fox News with “Juan” McCain’s “National Director of Hispanic Outreach.” This member of McCain’s team is former adviser to Vicente Fox and outspoken advocate for changing U.S. laws and eliminating borders, Dr. Juan Hernandez. Please watch this interview to understand what John McCain has in store for us.
Juan Hernandez Interview

When the American people stepped forward and said they would not stand for the McCain / Kennedy “Comprehensive Amnesty Plan”, John McCain declared that “he heard the American people.” Well, to “Juan” McCain, the voice of radicals such as Juan Hernandez apparently has more influence than that of the American people.

Is it the “Straight Talk Express” that tells the American public he has heard their voice regarding border security, then take on a “no immigration laws” radical to be your Hispanic Outreach Adviser? His actions speak louder than his words.

McCain continually touts that he was a “foot soldier” in the Reagan Revolution. Those bills do not comprise the resume of a Reagan conservative, “my friend.” That is the resume for director of the Democratic National Committee. He has been critical of some of the conservative members of the Supreme Court, even stating that he would not nominate a Justice such as Sam Alito because he is too conservative. In the debate on January 30th, he spoke of the need to “punish” the “greedy” people on Wall Street. That sounds like a quote from Hillary herself.

I have heard the arguments presented by the MSM that John McCain has the best chance of beating Hillary or Obama, and I just don’t buy it. Why would anyone vote for a liberal Republican when they can get the real thing in a liberal Democrat?

We need a better choice in November than between Liberal and Liberal-Lite. We need to have our actions speak loudly, as we did during the fight against the Comprehensive Shamnesty Bill. We need to take an active role in this election process now, “my friend.”

Wake Up America!

!!!!! URGENT !!!!!

SPECIAL ELECTION - Tuesday, December 11th

There is a very important Special Election in Ohio’s 5th Congressional District in just a few days. This election is being held to fill the seat left vacant by the death of incumbent Paul E. Gillmor. The primary was held on November 6th, and the special election will decide between conservative Republican Bob Latta and Democrat Robin Weirauch.

Fred Thompson has come out in strong support of Bob Latta. Video by Fred Thompson

For more information about Bob Latta, visit the Latta for Congress website.

If you are in Ohio’s 5th Congressional District please vote and support Bob Latta.
We desperately need more conservatives in Congress, and another Republican incumbant.
(President Thompson will thank you in 2008)

UPDATE:
Bob Latta was successful in this special election, and he will be going to Congress!

IMPORTANT NOTICE
======================================================================
Conservablogs, the host for Ohio4Fred, has been going through a strong growth period and it became necessary for them to switch to another server. This is a necessary move, but it has caused a temporary problem at Ohio4Fred that I want you to be aware of. While they are making the server change I am not able to modify any Theme files, that includes any files in the sidebars.

When Fred announced on Thursday and became an official candidate, he had to change his website location. The problem arises when someone tries to make a contribution by selecting the button in the right sidebar. This will give a security warning because the new web location does not match the security certificate.

To avoid confusion until this can be corrected, if you want to make a contribution please do so at the SW Ohio4Fred site.

Conservablogs is working to get the new server up as soon as possible, but it will probably be Monday before I can make the required changes.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,
Tim

UPDATE - Problem resolved!
Thanks to Eric Odom and everyone at Conservablogs! They understood the problem that I had and did some special magic to allow me to make the needed changes to my sidebar. It is still going to be a while before the server conversion is complete, but I was able to make the critical changes thanks to the good people at Conservablogs. (There must be some FredHeads there)

I also want to thank Christa at SW Ohio4Fred for helping me out in the interim.
Thanks to “a little help from my friends”, we are once again able to have a working contribution link on Ohio4Fred.

Please take a moment and also visit Christa at the SW Ohio4Fred site, and thank her for her help while my link was broken.

Just as a point of explanation, when you select the contribution you are redirected to the Official Thompson site to process the contribution. The reason we would like you to contribute through one of the Ohio sites is because the campaign is tracking what areas the contributions are coming from, and we want Ohio to show up as a strong supporter.

The thought is that Fred will be more likely to visit areas that show strong support.

Please make a small contribution to Fred’s campaign, but more importantly, register on Ohio4Fred so that we can keep you informed about current information and so we can contact you if we need volunteers for local events.
