Fred Thompson: The Sky Is Falling Will Fall!
Fred Thompson, Republican. Lying his ass off so that he can be our next president.
Thompson warns of welfare state
LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. - Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said Saturday that election of a Democrat to the White House in 2008 would open the way for a welfare state where bigger government, higher taxes and defense cutbacks sap the country’s economic and military strength.
“Our country is at a crossroads,” Thompson told several hundred people at a rally at a community clubhouse.
“We know that the most liberal element of the Democratic Party has taken control of the Democratic Party, and if they win this next election we’re going to go down the road of a welfare state,” he said.
After warning of a government that gets “bigger and bigger,” he said “I don’t think the American people are going to turn the keys to this country over to the most left-wing part of a left-wing party next year.”
“We’ve got to make sure that doesn’t happen,” he said.
Oh, where to begin…
Democrats are “tax and spend”? Well, Republicans “borrow and spend”. How’s that working out for you, America?
Democrats want bigger government? The government, in it’s present state, is the largest it’s ever been… under REPUBLICAN control.
The liberal fringe has taken over the democratic party? Really? With pro-war Hillary and Obama, and an “impeachment is off the table” Pelosi, I beg to differ. No, Mr. Thompson. If liberals were in charge, there would have been no Iraqi war, thousands of our troops would still be alive, hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens would still be alive, and Osama bin Laden might very well be in Prison.
Hell! It’s quite possible that the people lost on 9/11 could be alive today, busy working in their offices high up in the still’standing twin towers… because reports that Osama was about to attack would not have went ignored as it did on your REPUBLICAN watch!
Welfare state, my ass, Fred! If helping make sure poor, sick children get the medical attention they need and deserve, then, yes - call it a welfare state. Ignoring these children’s needs, leaving them to suffer in silence and quite possible die, well, that’s something we liberals won’t do.
And, Mr. Thompson, in case you’re wondering, this is precisely how you and your pro-life, party-of-family-values, REPUBLICAN party have earned the title “HYPOCRITES“.
