[...] It is undeniable that Mitt Romney flip-flopped on a whole bunch of things. And a number of people are comfortable with that. What I find so cynical about Romney is that he attacks people for formerly holding positions that he formerly held. Again, "flip-flopping for me, but not for thee." Thompson, especially, no longer holds the views that he was advocating back in the day. Huckabee has shifted to the right, something that I have blasted him on. [...]

[...] McCain’s assessment of the efficacy of the fence was confirmed by a commentator and seeming conservative hero: that’s a technical problem. In this day and age, I would not think you would have to use bricks and mortar to get that job done. But we ought to do everything that we can to get it done to the extent that we can [...]

Again you notice he isn’t saying in any of his statements “What I believed before… well not so much now.” he is phrasing it in the terms I am talking about. What Fred is saying we can’t move forward as a country and deal with this until real people feel this isn’t going to give way to a new amnesty in 2026

No but Fred Thompson, if he wants to be president, has to understand a lot of people will be directed by the like of Lou Dobbs. and that if people do not have confidence in a law or in the government it will lead to far more problems.

which was his point. During those two months he came to realize that their is a serious confidence gap that the government needs to mend before it does anything.

and as Fred has poked into more events as part of his presidential run its very likely he has gotten a sense of the problem of lack of confidence in the government that he didn’t have before

And no one was talking about information.

If Fred Thompson’s opinion are driven by what Lou Dobbs says, he is not qualified to be President,

It was more popular and their were less cases getting featured in the news of how broke the system is and how the government has facilitated it.

during the 2 months the NYTs iirc covered a story about why the security provisions of the 86 amnesty went to pot.

you have lou dobbs, bloggers, and a host of others drumming the issue.

2 months ago the issue had more public confidence then it does at this point

So what was different 2 months ago when Fred was for a McCain-Kennedy style bill?

No my point is (and I believe Fred’s is) given the climate today with the distrust and lack of faith the people have in their government passing this bill would be harmful.

I didn’t miss his statement. But 2 months ago, he was saying the opposite.
