FDT on Illegal Immigration and the Senate Compromise

There hasn’t been a lot of FDT news this week, but his response to the immigration compromise is worth taking a look at.

Here’s an older radio statement by Thompson on illegal immigration and the Mexican border.

I’d say it’s time for someone who wants to secure our borders in the White House.

Fred Thompson is the Conservative Answer in ‘08

In that past few months I have been very active in calling for Senator Fred Thompson to run for the office of President. I have voiced my support to hundreds of Thompson supporters in Cookeville, Tennessee, I have made numerous statements to the press, and I have garnered two-thirds my Missouri House Republican Caucus’ signatures for a Draft Thompson petition. Today I am launching my new blog to fully explain why Fred Thompson is our party’s answer in ’08.

The last six years have seen ever increasing divisiveness in our country as career politicians dig into their ideological trenches and lambaste one another over the War and other heated topics. Some in the party seem to think that we should soften our conservative values and elect a moderate to liberal candidate. Now is not the time to hide from our values, it is the time to elect a leader who will champion them and remind America why conservatism doesn’t have to be confrontational. Senator Thompson is the next Great Communicator, able to do just that.
Imagine a politician who walks away from “the world’s most elite club.” In 2003, Senator Thompson did just that and left the Senate stating that he “didn’t want to be a Senator for life.” This is after winning re-election by a 20-point spread. Who was the last statesman you can think of that would pass up that kind of power? In these times, we need a leader who seeks office in order to bring the country together, not merely to further his political career.

Simply put, Fred Thompson is the conservative answer in ’08. He has the right values, the right experience, and the right tone to unite our party and our country. I hope you will check in often as our movement grows and interact frequently to let us know what you think.

Sincerely,
Carl Bearden, Speaker Pro Tem

Missouri House of Representatives
