Spencer Abraham, no way in Hell, Fred Thompson

Fred Thompson has been my favorite for President in the 2008 election, until now. If what I'm hearing about Spencer Abraham, Thompson's new campaign manager, then Fred's campaign is dead in the water. Spencer Abraham, according to reports, is a supporter of open borders. That by itself is enough to turn most conservative voters off. On top of the border security question, I'm hearing that Spencer Abraham is an apologist for the Islamists. No way Fred can get elected if this is true. No way in hell.

• Are you not aware that immigration restrictionists loathe Abraham as an open-borders true-believer, and that your appointment of him as your most important staff person throws into doubt your main selling point as a candidate? Did you have a reason for doing this, or are you just thick? (LibertyPost.com)

Michelle Malkin mentioned Spencer Abraham in her book "Invasion":

• In my 2002 book Invasion (p. 71, 76), I noted the open-borders obstructionism of former Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-Michigan), who fought to block the implementation of two different tracking databases–one for foreign student visa holders and the other for all temporary visitors (which was mandated by Section 110 of the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act). Abraham led efforts to starve the first database of funding and crusaded several times to kill Section 110 altogether. On September 11, 2001, neither of those databases was in place. To this day, they remain incomplete.

Texas Fred asks, "Reason for Concern?? Speak your mind and let us know".

• Indeed, let Texas Fred know what you think, but more important ... let Fred Thompson know what you think. I have already sent letters to the campaign telling them Spencer Abraham must go, or Fred Thompson had NO chance of winning the election.

The American Muslim Alliance praises Spencer Abraham via Babbazee at The Outraged Spleen of Zion in a comment at Texas Fred's. And from the Islamic Free Market:

“The future of the Islamic Free Market Institute will no doubt reach new heights under Saffuri’s strong leadership. ” Sen. Spencer Abraham, Michigan

I'm keeping an open mind. Some readers at Texas Fred's think this is a strategic move by Fred to win votes, others think it is a fatal mistake, while others don't see any problem with Abraham. Time will tell as more information comes out.

Thompson Campaign Hires Open Borders Icon

Fred Thompson is not looking like the great conservative hope which many have imagined. His hiring of open-borders henchman Spencer Abraham should be a dash of cold water on any fantasies that Fred is the real deal for a law-and-borders President. The writing is on the wall.

Acting campaign manager Tom Collamore will still advise Thompson, but his presidential operation will be run by the duo of former senator and energy secretary Spencer Abraham and a Florida GOP strategist, Randy Enright, according to Rozett.

Before Abraham was energy secretary, he was the Senator from Michigan, who successfully led efforts to reduce the effectiveness of the 1996 reform legislation. He was defeated for re-election by Debbie Stabenow, in part because of his anti-enforcement politics.

How bad could Spencer Abraham be? In 1997, La Raza gave him its "Defender of the Melting Pot" award.

All you need to know.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, Spencer Abraham received the "Defender of the Melting Pot" award from La Raza in 1997:

"A milestone came in 1996, when La Raza rejected the suggestion that it trade support for the modest immigration cuts proposed by Barbara Jordan's bipartisan Commission on Immigration Reform in exchange for restrictionist groups' commitment to fight the sweeping welfare bans against legal immigrants and new retroactive deportation rules then before Congress. Instead of working for such a pro-immigrant policy of lower immigration, these "pro-immigrant" groups dumped the interests of the people they claimed to speak for in order to maintain high levels of immigration in the future. La Raza in 1997 even gave then-Senator Spencer Abraham, architect of congressional libertarians' anti-immigrant policy of mass immigration, its "Defender of the Melting Pot" award.".

Support a Genuine Conservative.

All appearances are that Fred is NOT the one! This is how we got into the situation we find ourselves today... a illegal alien pandering, large biz owned, one-worlder a$$hole in the Oval Office and more like him in the senate. Then there is the hardcore socialist, Teddy Kennedy.
