Abortion
Thompson wants Roe v. Wade overturned. He believes that abortion is an issue best left to the states.
Immigration
Thompson wants tougher security on the Mexican border and existing immigration laws enforced. He would cut federal funding to 'sanctuary cities' and prevent employers hiring undocumented immigrants. He thinks those stipulations would stop the flow of illegal immigration. Thompson stated, "Nobody's advocating that these people all be rounded up." He clearly hasn't paid attention to the immigration policies of his Republican competitor. Thompson personally intervened on behalf of undocumented immigrants before his run for president.
Iraq
He trusts General Petraeus and would leave U.S. troops in Iraq as long as the General prescribed. Thompson believes invading Iraq was the right thing to do.
Iran
Fred Thompson believes that Iran is the most dangerous country in the world. He believes that Iran is developing nuclear technology despite the recent National Intelligence Estimate saying otherwise. His tough talk would leave one to assume that he would attack Iran if elected.
Pakistan
Thompson wants Musharraf to survive and wouldn't force Pakistan to do anything that is not in their best interest. He would threaten to cut aid to influence Pakistan's desire to go after al Qaeda.
Here are some irrelevant fun facts:
- Holds the world record for most face wrinkles
- Sleeps 17.6 hours a day
- Banged Lady Bird Johnson back when it "meant" something
- Acting debut on the old Amos and Andy radio show
- Will drop out of the race as soon as someone tells him he's running
