#1 Fred's right. Make that the Bush/Kennedy/McCain Amnesty Bill.

#4 FOX NEWS > O'REILLY or HANNITY?? > the Left-Wing in America is complaining, AGAIN, about the lack of compassion = humanity of the GOP + US Right-Wing, as per the provisions in this bill. TV > had on a Hispanic woman-mother whom has been "illegal" and on public assistance for over 20 Years - 20 YEARS! 20 YEARS > NOT LONG ENUFF TO EVEN TRY TO BE LEGAL??? Instead, Amer is supposed to be sympathetic to her and her family's plight, includ her fear of goig to jail, as opposed to that of legal US Citizens-Residents whom had suppor her way of life for so long vv their public taxes-fees, or even via private donations!? THIS WOMAN HAD MORE THAN A "FAIR CHANCE(S)", OVER ABOVE AND BEYOND A "FAIR CHANCE(S)".

#5 I am writing my Rep, and Senators...and telling them I will never vote for them again. The trunks have abandoned us.

#6 Speaking as someone who has never voted republican in my entire life, Thompson is a solid front runner for my 2008 vote. No, I don't like abandoning the issue of a woman's choice with respect to her own body, but as someone here put it so clearly: We can debate over abortion, but not over terrorism. Thompson has got it right with respect to the Global War on Terrorism. If he also has it right regarding illegal immigration, then this man stands alone in the field. A hat tip to Old Spook for bringing this potential candidate to our collective attention.

#7 One of the better things about Fred Thompson is that he is the ONLY candidate with a blog, and he blogs regularly (podcasts as well from time to time, and does YouTube). Fred "gets it" regarding the internet.

#8 Fred Thompson is The Man. The type of politician our Founding Fathers had in mind. We must do everything we can to see that he runs and gets the necessary support. On another note... think back to the movie Red October. Fred had to act alongside Alec Baldwin. The fact he could be in closed proximity for that long and not choke the life out of that bastid shows how much intestinal fortitude the man truly has.

#9 McCain must like shooting himself in the foot. Can figure out why he jumped in bed with the likes of Kennedy. Any bill sponsored by Kennedy is suspect. The bill makes a sad joke out of people who try to obey the law and become citizens.

#10 "Any bill sponsored by Kennedy is suspect"

No Child Left Behind?

#11 I'll write my senator and congresscritter, but I doubt it will do any good. They all have been good and bribed on this, and will sell out the American people for their thirty pieces of silver. May everyone now serving be "unelected", and soon!
