This one gets filed in the “WTF is he talking about” file!

Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said Saturday that election of a Democrat to the White House in 2008 would open the way for a welfare state where bigger government, higher taxes and defense cutbacks sap the country’s economic and military strength. “Our country is at a crossroads,” Thompson told several hundred people at a rally at a community clubhouse. “We know that the most liberal element of the Democratic Party has taken control of the Democratic Party, and if they win this next election we’re going to go down the road of a welfare state,” he said.

After warning of a government that gets “bigger and bigger,” he said “I don’t think the American people are going to turn the keys to this country over to the most left-wing part of a left-wing party next year.” “We’ve got to make sure that doesn’t happen,” he said.

Sure Fred, whatever you say! He’s warning of a welfare state if the Democrats take the White House next year, which is worse than what, the impending police state we are currently on the verge of being? He also warns of higher taxes and a bigger government, which will “sap” the country’s economic and military strength.

Where have you been Fred? The economy is in the dumper, the dollar is at an all time world-wide low, and our military is bogged down in the Middle East fighting a war that shouldn’t have been started in the first place! Our borders are as porous as they’ve ever been, and some of our imported goods have the potential to seriously harm us and our children. Imported poisoned toothpaste, and toys laden with lead paint are good reasons for shrinking the government and cutting taxes even more?

Fred is right when he states that the country is at a crossroads; and honestly another war mongering Republican who’s controlled by big oil and big business is not the way to fix what Bush and Cheney have broken.
