Stephen Crockett Republicans should Sex-up of ideas instead of candidates

The sudden rise of Fred Thompson as the first Republican candidate for the Office shows that Republican leaders do not always understand their next implosion as a national political party. Thompson is a “Sex up”-version of a failure of the product. With Thompson, voters are still the same old package of ideologies and policies, have been disasters for the vast majority of Americans with new packaging. Fred Thompson is much more “Bush-Light” as the advent of Ronald Reagan.Thompson is a policy totally hypocritical. The Tennessee have their residence and voters, while Thompson was the United States Senate, I saw Thompson vote against the interests of middle class Tennesseans, the working poor, the environment, clean elections, education And most of the things that the majority of Americans. Trust me, Fred Thompson is a politician right, vote on behalf of the richest countries of the richest and most major groups.

Thompson urges that Michael Moore to condemn your visit to Cuba and at the same time his latest film. It was widely reported that Thompson repeatedly violated U.S. law on the trade embargo against Cuba of Fidel Castro by the smuggling of Cuban cigar smoke. Some reports note that Thompson had this illegal Cuban cigars to the USA in the Senate. If these reports are true, Thompson is a public good and lawbreaker hypocrites, should not be pursued by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The real problem for Republicans in the next elections are not their candidates. The political problems properly Republicans extremists of their political ideology and tolerance towards corruption. The problems are interrelated.

Republican Force, money, really big money. You have to hand a political programme that truly serves the interests of major interests in the determent completely different category from any American citizen. From the point of rewriting bankruptcy law to student loans to environmental tax measures, the super-rich were rewarded while the rest of us suffered. The trade policy of the business interests over national interests. The Republicans were right all our vice anti-monopoly of government policy.
