The Facts About Obama's Association With William Ayers
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/17/fact-check-obamas-relationship-with-william-ayers/

When asked about his participation with the domestic terrorist group 'The Weathermen' Ayers replied, "I don’t regret setting bombs," and "I feel we didn’t do enough."

Ayers was clearly more than someone Obama just ran into ( as Obama lied about again ) in the neighborhood on occasion. In the mid-1990s, when Obama was making his first run for the Illinois Senate, Ayers had Obama to his home to introduce him to others.

Ayers disappeared after the 1970 town house explosion, although he was not charged in that episode. He and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, surfaced in 1980.

They both faced charges stemming from Chicago demonstrations in 1969 but his were dismissed for prosecutorial misconduct while she pleaded guilty to aggravated battery and bail-jumping.

Obama: Most Liberal Senator In 2007
http://nj.nationaljournal.com/voteratings/

Michele Obama

In her senior thesis at Princeton, Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama stated that America was a nation founded on “crime and hatred”. Moreover, she stated that whites in America were “ineradicably racist”.The 1985 thesis, titled “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community” was written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson.

Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to “Whites at Princeton , it often seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first...” However, it was reported by a fellow black classmate, “If those “Whites at Princeton “ really saw Michelle as one who always would “be Black first,” it seems that she gave them that impression”.

Most alarming is Michele Obama’s use of the terms “separationist” and “integrationist” when describing the views of black people.

Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a “separationist” view of race.

“By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.”

Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her “further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.”

Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder.

Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America, but she elevates black over white in her world.

Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning:

“There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost.”

What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she’s first lady that will elevate black over white in America?

The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration.

“Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.”

The conclusion of her thesis is alarming.

Michelle Obama’s poll of black alumni concludes that other black students at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin.?”I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility.”

Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire. Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input.

Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted with one another.

The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama’s thoughts and world view seen through a race-based prism.

This is a very divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama administration.

Michelle Obama’s intellectually refined racism should give all Americans pause for deep concern.

Previous gun quotes by Obama
http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Barack_Obama_Gun_Control.htm

Respect 2nd Amendment, but local gun bans ok

Q: You said recently, “I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.” But you support the D.C. handgun ban, and you’ve said that it’s constitutional. How do you reconcile those two positions?

A: Because I think we have two conflicting traditions in this country. I think it’s important for us to recognize that we’ve got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership generally. And a lot of law-abiding citizens use it for hunting, for sportsmanship, and for protecting their families. We also have a violence on the streets that is the result of illegal handgun usage. And so I think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets. And cracking down on the various loopholes that exist in terms of background checks for children, the mentally ill. We can have reasonable, thoughtful gun control measure that I think respect the Second Amendment and people’s traditions.

Source: 2008 Politico pre-Potomac Primary interview Feb 11, 2008

Provide some “common-sense” enforcement on gun licensing

Q: When you were in the state senate, you talked about licensing and registering gun owners. Would you do that as president?

A: I don’t think that we can get that done. But what we can do is to provide just some common-sense enforcement. The efforts by law enforcement to obtain the information required to trace back guns that have been used in crimes to unscrupulous gun dealers. As president, I intend to make it happen. We essentially have two realities, when it comes to guns, in this country. You’ve got the tradition of lawful gun ownership. It is very important for many Americans to be able to hunt, fish, take their kids out, teach them how to shoot. Then you’ve got the reality of 34 Chicago public school students who get shot down on the streets of Chicago. We can reconcile those two realities by making sure the Second Amendment is respected and that people are able to lawfully own guns, but that we also start cracking down on the kinds of abuses of firearms that we see on the streets.

2000: Cosponsored bill to limit purchases to 1 gun per month

Obama sought gun control measures, such as a 2000 bill he cosponsored to limit handgun purchases to one per month (it did not pass). He voted against letting people violate local weapons bans in cases of self-defense, but also voted in 2004 to let retired police officers carry concealed handguns.

Source: The Improbable Quest, by John K. Wilson, p.148 Oct 30, 2007

Concealed carry OK for retired police officers

Obama voted for a bill in the Illinois senate that allowed retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed weapons. If there was any issue on which Obama rarely deviated, it was gun control. He was the most strident candidate when it came to enforcing and expanding gun control laws. So this vote jumped out as inconsistent.

When I queried him about the vote, he said, “I didn’t find that [vote] surprising. I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry. This was a narrow exception in an exceptional circumstance where a retired police officer might find himself vulnerable as a consequence of the work he has previously done--and had been trained extensively in the proper use of firearms.”

It wasn’t until a few weeks later that another theory came forward about the uncharacteristic vote. Obama was battling with his GOP opponent to win the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police.

Stop unscrupulous gun dealers dumping guns in cities

Q: How would you address gun violence that continues to be the #1 cause of death among African-American men?

A: You know, when the massacre happened at Virginia Tech, I think all of us were grief stricken and shocked by the carnage. But in this year alone, in Chicago, we’ve had 34 Chicago public school students gunned down and killed. And for the most part, there has been silence. We know what to do. We’ve got to enforce the gun laws that are on the books. We’ve got to make sure that unscrupulous gun dealers aren’t loading up vans and dumping guns in our communities, because we know they’re not made in our communities. There aren’t any gun manufacturers here, right here in the middle of Detroit. But what we also have to do is to make sure that we change our politics so that we care just as much about those 30-some children in Chicago who’ve been shot as we do the children in Virginia Tech. That’s a mindset that we have to have in the White House and we don’t have it right now.

Keep guns out of inner cities--but also problem of morality

I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities, and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manfuacturer’s lobby. But I also believe that when a gangbanger shoots indiscriminately into a crowd because he feels someone disrespected him, we have a problem of morality. Not only do we need to punish that man for his crime, but we need to acknowledge that there’s a hole in his heart, one that government programs alone may not be able to repair.

Source: The Audacity of Hope, by Barack Obama, p.215 Oct 1, 2006

Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions

Principles that Obama supports on gun issues: Ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons. Increase state restrictions on the purchase and possession of firearms. Require manufacturers to provide child-safety locks with firearms.

Source: 1998 IL State Legislative National Political Awareness Test Jul 2, 1998

Obama voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers.

A bill to prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages, injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others. Voting YES would:

Exempt lawsuits brought against individuals who knowingly transfer a firearm that will be used to commit a violent or drug-trafficking crime. Exempt lawsuits against actions that result in death, physical injury or property damage due solely to a product defect. Call for the dismissal of all qualified civil liability actions pending on the date of enactment by the court in which the action was brought Prohibit the manufacture, import, sale or delivery of armor piercing ammunition, and sets a minimum prison term of 15 years for violations. Require all licensed importers, manufacturers and dealers who engage in the transfer of handguns to provide secure gun storage or safety devices.


OBAMA LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES- Updated to reflect new dishonesties (63 lies as of March 30 2008) http://www.obamalies.org/


“It seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force.
If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind.” — Alexander Hamilton (Federalist No. 1, 27 October 1787) Reference: Hamilton, Federalist No. 1.

Hoist by his own petard


In an interview today with Dennis Prager, in crawling out from his selfimposed exile that he quickly entered through constantly tripping over his own lower lip, Dobson proves he hasn’t learned a blessed thing.

In fact, the only thing he has shown besides a love affair for any microphone or camera lens is the adamant disclaimer he offers each interviewer that he doesn’t speak for Focus on The Family. Only a legend in his own mind would mislead himself thinking anyone else apart from his followers give a rip what he says where the phone and e-mail systems of the group are nearly in as bad a shape as the senate phone system we crashed over the Shamnesty bill...for they both have reportedly received the same amount of vitriolic attention where his diligence in repeating his weasel clause confirms it.

Dobson pursued his political unimportance by lunching with Newt Gingrich in D.C. who later, on March 8th, confessed to adultery and discussed a divorce with his wife in her hospital room, post surgery. The point of bringing this back up is the context of events in the same month Dobson announced his ignorant and arrogant kafir towards Fred Thompson. In other words you may do what you wish if you bow down in tribute to JimmyGod but, hell hath no furry hotter for those with the strength to offer they need no such counsel.

At this point in time we found Jimmy Dobson’s political skin is as thin as his skull is thick. He ran for cover after the first and subsequent aspersions in lashing out at Thompson to disguise Jimmy’s uninformed and misplaced devotion to pro-life and marriage protection amendments. Thompson knew and recalled for all of us how we had once tried a pro-life amendment in having the majority of the legislature plus held the executive branch which we still fell far short of the super-majority votes required for it to pass. The NRLC learned from history in their endorsement of Thompson but then, what’s the cause of Dobson’s imbecility??

Therefore, chasing amendments or selling these pipedreams is not the honest, loyal and productive Thompson’s style and commitment but, it is for the likes of certain hardheaded evangelists and pandering presidential candidates devoid of moral compass in acquiring votes from the ignorantly but, passionately deceived. However, in the age of the internet, this provides no possible excuse of “misguidance” for those single-minded and priority challenged voters evidently incapable of their own governance.

To now whimper to the radio audience of Dennis Prager, "I’m expecting to being skewered...by just about everybody” doesn’t lend much sympathy in light of his record from those who care enough about our freedom to be informed. Within this same interview Jimmy offers that his conscience won’t allow him to vote for Juan McCain if he is the nominee.

So, Dobson does his very worst to discredit in attacking the one conservative in the race who knew what he was doing over Jimmy's demonstratably impossible agenda to now assure a Liberal victory by abstaining his vote and therein his blind flock are sure to follow...Baa, baa, baa.

This alleged leadership can’t be the price of something we’ve done, it must be the cost of apathy, of total neglect.

James C. Dobson is another example of what is so vividly wrong with conservative leadership. He offers an agenda that is impossible to obtain and yet in spite of the available information he certainly can acquire he continues to hold others up to a Don Quixote goal and refuses to join us in reality...that's not leadership, that's stagnation in futility.


This is the second exposure of alleged leadership in failing in as many days and a second warning in holding the leaders of our party fully accountable for their actions and now additionally, inactions.

Digg It

In a mindnumbing display of sheer nerve Richard A. Viguerie, an open Paul supporter, writes an appeal to Open Up The GOP Race. In this article he’s offering we must now find a candidate who clearly holds the “three-legged stool” of economic, national security and social conservatives in bringing the base together.

Viguerie is famous for being the “funding father of the conservative movement” by starting various conservative groups and used direct mail to help Reagan get elected. Now, he will be infamous for attacking and assisting the exit of the only candidate in the race who clearly had the qualifications without which Viguerie predicts we will not win.

By supporting Ron Paul, whose party affiliation is closest to the Libertarians but, even they disavow him, Viguerie declares that he has grown far more than impatient, he is now a fanatic himself who can’t come to grips that he has helped to create the situation we now face of three liberal candidates running on the republican ticket.

Apparently oblivious to or trying to erase from our view the high price of his continuous rantings of insignificance against Fred Thompson and a wrongheaded support of a fringe candidate Vaguerie turns to us not to apologize for his wrongheadedness but, to point as if in a new direction he should have taken from the beginning...as if leading conservatives to join together instead of revealing exactly what cost us the 2008 election.

Richard A. Viguerie is an example of what is so vividly wrong with conservative leadership. He chased his fringe views in denying what is inherently correct only to spin around as if he never left our side...we watch and more importantly we see and remember.

Let this exposure serve as the first warning shot to our alleged leaders of our party where they will be held accountable for their actions.

Mike ‘The Huckster’ Huckabee

The Huckster has no formal education nor experience suitable to prepare him for the presidency. According to one of his own aides his method of governance was merely putting out fires with no planning or forward thinking at all. The Arkansas republican leadership have quite alot to say about the Huckster, so much so, that several of them went to Iowa to warn the voters there about this con artist.

Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR): Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: “[Huckabee’s] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor’s office.” And what was Governor Huckabee’s response to these ethics allegations? Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down.

A prominent national GOP insider tells Politics1 that he believes Morris—despite his claims to the contrary—is paid for his services through Huckabee media consultant Dick Dresner. According to the source, Morris purportedly gets piece of all Huckabee campaign polling revenues, media commissions and consulting fees through money paid to Dresner’s firm. Explaining the relationship, Huckabee told one GOP pollster: “I feel like I want to take a shower after I meet with him, but Morris is a smart guy and I need him.” http://www.politics1.com/blog-1207.htm

Endorsement from a Liberal Elected Official: A Time To Embrace - “I can tell you that for a long time, I have felt the strongest Republican -certainly in Ohio -would be Mr. Huckabee. Early on, people were surprised that I would say that because he was not registering in the polls. But I know him, I’ve met him. He’s a very likable guy. He’s been a governor. A Baptist minister. But he’s the kind of combination of conservative views in some ways, but very, almost liberal views in other ways. He’s a very socially compassionate man who obviously has concern for the poor and the working middle class, while at the same time, having rather conservative views when it comes to a matter like abortion or gay marriage. ... I think of all the Republican candidates, Mr. Huckabee would be my personal choice.”

Willards vividly clear false claims of his conservatism can only be assured through our constant vigil in watching the idiot like a hawk otherwise, he’ll appease whichever special interest group decides to whine the loudest.

Since he has repeatedly switched positions on every fundamental issue you care to name at least once we know he is an appeaser without a backbone but, this is precisely why he can be controlled to be conservative where the others will do whatever liberal thought comes to their little minds regardless of how loud our opposition is to it.

Republicans no longer control the Republican Party and as a result, they can not advance a truly Republican candidate though the current liberal leaning primary process. By the time 99 percent of Republicans get a chance to vote in the primaries, all real Republicans have already been eliminated from the race. Lesser evil choices are all that remain by Super Tuesday…?

How it Happened

It happened by two important factors.

First, Republicans refused to unite behind any of the conservatives originally in the race. They were divided, and all of their candidates failed as a result.

Evangelicals think Pastor Huckabee is the real conservative in the race based solely upon his evangelical preaching from the stump. Fiscal conservatives think that business man Mitt Romney is the real conservative in the race. Anti-war isolationists think that Ron Paul is the real conservative in the race. Border security – national sovereignty conservatives thought that Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo were the real conservatives in the race. War on Terror hawks thought that Rudy Giuliani was the real conservative in the race and the base of the Republican Party, those who are fully conservative on all the above, thought Fred Thompson was the real conservative in the race…

We stepped up to the plate for Fred, now we’re going to take the steering wheel and drive on from there....hard drivin’.

PLEASE, use every opportunity you have to distribute this information as far and to as many as possible. Re-Post This To Your Blogs and Websites!

Thank you.

John McCain is the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, so our friend works directly with McCain’s staff on a regular basis. I can’t really share any details, but his experience has been that McCain staffers are habitually heavy handed and abusive, using threats and intimidations to get what they want with complete and utter disregard and disrespect for people to the extent that it would make it very difficult to feel good about a McCain presidency. Maybe that’s how people get things done on Capital Hill, but that’s not the kind of leadership that I want to support.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1961546/posts

In my opinion SideshowBob has just written the most succinct article defining our recent history and current situation;

There have been more than a few recent articles and editorials attempting to affix blame for the demise of the Republican Party. Peggy Noonan blames President Bush. Rush Limbaugh believes a McCain nomination will kill the party. However, even in a worse case scenario, the Republican Party will probably stagger along for several years much like the last decade of the Whigs. Conservative Republicans should probably be more concerned about the impending demise of the conservative movement within the party. Some individuals can be blamed more than others, but this folly has many fathers. The latest blow to conservatives has come from within – thanks to Dr. James Dobson and other egotistical evangelicals. Political doomsayers may be correct and it is likely too late to save the conservative movement in 2008. Conservatives can correct their path to destruction for 2010 and beyond, but only if they look back at recent history, recognize the actions and actors that have brought the party and movement to this point, and to learn from a long series of missteps and mistakes.

Ronald Reagan built a winning coalition of conservatives, independents and establishment moderate Republicans in 1980. A coalition of social, economic and security conservatives had come together to form a plurality within the GOP and wrest leadership of the party from the establishment, moderate GOP. The Iran-Contra scandal (Mistake #1) weakened the coalition and the moderate wing of the party regained control of the GOP (Mistake #2), which led to the election of President George H.W. Bush (Mistake #3).

While the elder Bush had adopted – albeit reluctantly – many conservative ideals, he and the moderate GOP leaders advocated a “kinder, gentler” approach (Mistake #4). Conservatives might have been content to take a back seat to moderate GOP leadership, but they read Bush’s lips and their support and enthusiasm for the Republican Party evaporated after the Bush tax increase (Mistake #5). In 1992 some conservatives were taken in by Ross Perot and his anti-establishment, anti-Washington message (Mistake #6). Others just stayed home (Mistake #7) and helped Democrats elect the Dope from Hope, Bill Clinton, with just 43% of the popular vote (Mistake #8)…

Alright, here’s the short and sweet of exactly what happened;

As Fred Thompson has explained on numerous occasions dating all the way back to his interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday on March 11, ‘07; Fred’s campaign promise was to stop the corruption of our elected officials wherein he saw soft money donations literally pumped into Clinton's re-election bid as if it were being poured in from cement trucks. Although Fred regrets the attachment that was tacked on to the bill which was the "Ad Restriction" or otherwise known as the "incumbent protection" attachment which ended organized tax exempt groups participation 90 or 60 days prior to an election, he had no choice if he wanted the soft money bribery to be stopped before the next election. Bill Clinton and Dick Morris were responsible for going far above the well established limits of soft money donations as Fred has also said here;

From Fred’s extended chat with Laura Ingraham
http://www.twango.com/media/thepolitico.public/thepolitico.10002

“...My main motivation for Campaign Finance Reform...was a matter of whether you want to get rid of soft money… Bill Clinton and Dick Morris showed that you could use soft money in ways that people thought you could be put in jail for a short time ago so, they poured it in and instead of having the agreed upon limitations that historically..."everybody else” pretty much acknowledged were Constitutional because they have to do with federal elections and the idea that you don’t want to give too much money to any individual member of Congress and then come and lobbying him for a bill, I mean that’s called bribery in the real world but, they came in with this soft money to do the same thing, through the back door so, we wanted to do away with that. Now, they added on something that was a mistake and that is the issue ad you were talkin’ about and I voted for all of it so, I support the first part but, not that.”

Therefore, who was actually responsible for the “Issue Ad"/"Ad Restrictions” if Fred wasn’t?;

Senators Paul Wellstone, Arlen Spector, John McCain, Olympia Snowe and James Jeffords. ( Surely, there were a few more who assisted. )

The only thing Fred Thompson was directly responsible for on that bill was the established hard money limit which he successfully negotiated to $2,300.



A last word about this to keep in mind when looking at any legislation before either houses of Congress:

A bill is authored and then manipulated, twisted and contorted by both parties in a never-ending chess game of give and take. Unfortunately for us, their own party’s advancement, the power they individually could gain or even the dirt that can be kicked up later in their opposition’s face are their priorities and ultimate goals. The bill itself is not where the fighting ends. Amendments strategically timed or dubbed as “deal breakers” may be added throughout the process as many of us saw for the first time with the Shamnesty bill. Amendments to strike certain passages of the bill or add to it are also voted on or are outright denied to even be considered depending on who is in the majority and other factors too deep to bother with here. In all this insanity We, the people, come in dead last in consideration.

After all, don’t we know who they are??



So, when we look at any piece of legislation from now on we’ll have a much better understanding of what really goes on with each and every one and perhaps, more importantly, just how many cooks are stirring the broth and if you're caught between a rock and a hard place of knowing you must have the one part of the bill pass before a certain amount of time expires you WILL have to swallow nonsense that shouldn't even be in the bill...just like Fred had to on McCain-Feingold.

Fred Thompson was drafted by the conservative base of the Republican Party for two very simple reasons. One, the Republican National Committee offered no other viable conservative choice and two, only a true traditional conservative can challenge today’s Democratic Socialists.  Thompson was not planning on running for an office he never aspired to hold. He was asked to put his personal life on hold, and answer the call to serve his fellow conservatives in desperate need of real conservative leadership.

Thompson didn’t enter the race late. The other eight eager beavers entered the race a year early, throwing the nomination process into a confusing tailspin and the nation into unwanted perpetual campaign mode. Those who claim Thompson’s late entry cost him the nomination need to answer why the early “front-runner” Rudy Giuliani, is in worse shape than Thompson in the polls?

No conservative including Thompson, had any chance of winning in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan or Nevada, all heavily liberal, which delivered three different winners in four primaries. So Thompson bet his farm on South Carolina, where conservative candidates normally do best.

But Thompson finished a distant 3rd instead of 1st or even 2nd, after pundits had been painting Thompson as “lazy” – “no fire” – “slow” and “disinterested” since the day he announced his campaign. And now, Thompson’s campaign is in real trouble coming out of South Carolina a distant 3rd.

But, every Republican emerges from South Carolina in trouble.  John McCain thinks he emerged from South Carolina a victor. But what did he win?  McCain won South Carolina the same way he won New Hampshire, with Independent votes, not Republican votes. So what did he win and how can he turn that into a national victory in November? The answer is - he can’t turn it into a national victory in November, no matter how much he tells himself he can. He’s simply running on ego, ignoring an overtly obvious reality.

NO Republican can win in November without the support of the Republican base of the party. And none of the new front-runners, McCain, Romney, or Huckabee will enter November with the base of their party intact. Thompson is the only Republican candidate who can bring all Republicans into the voting booth in November, yet too many Republicans choose to ignore this reality...

No question in my mind JB!

Sometimes, the projects we take on come about in the weirdest ways. After we reviewed the tool that highlights Rudy Giuliani’s simpler income tax proposal, we received an e-mail from an avid Fred Thompson supporter asking if we were ever going to review Fred’s even simpler income tax proposal.

Since our expertise revolves around creating web-based tools, we replied that unless Fred had a tool to go along with his proposal, we wouldn’t be reviewing it. But, as it turns out, there was a tool, in the form of an Excel spreadsheet (more details here.) But no actual made-for-the-web version which, in this day and age, just won’t fly.

So we offered to take it on as a project, which happens to turn out to be pretty timely as the Wall Street Journal really likes Fred’s plan. A lot. So here we go!

Key Features of Fred Thompson’s Simpler Income Tax Proposal
What Fred Thompson has proposed is a new, simpler option that taxpayers can use when filing and paying their income taxes. Taxpayers would have a choice of filing their taxes under the plan outlined below or filing their taxes using one of the familiar income tax return forms that already exist under the current tax code.

Standard Deduction
Fred Thompson’s proposed tax reform includes sizable increases in the standard deduction available to both single and joint tax filers, which reduces the amount of income that will be subject to income taxes. Single income tax filers can reduce their taxable income by $12,500, while those filing joint income tax returns can reduct their taxable income by $25,000.

Personal Exemptions
Beyond the standard deductions outlined above, Fred Thompson’s tax reform plan includes a $3,500 personal exemption for each individual covered by the filer’s tax return, increasing the amount of income that will not be subject to income taxes. For example, a family of three people would be able to reduce the amount of their taxable income by $10,500 (3 X $3,500).

Tax Rates
The tax rates that would apply to taxable income under Fred Thompson’s simpler tax proposal, as well as the portion of taxable income to which they apply, are presented in the table below:…

Among S.C. Poll Leaders, Thompson Best Overall On Immigration

(January 18) The day before South Carolina’s Republican Primary, the Rasmussen Poll of the state shows the frontrunners as McCain (24%), Huckabee (24%), Romney (18%) and Thompson (16%). Of the four, according to NumbersUSA President Roy Beck’s Presidential Grid that rates each candidate in 16 immigration categories, Fred Thompson scores the highest. And Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) scores the lowest overall. The ratings are based on how well a candidate’s immigration stances would protect American workers, taxpayers, communities, infrastructure, individual freedom and the environment. (NumbersUSA does not endorse candidates.)
