Republican Fred Thompson quits presidential race

Fred Dalton Thompson : enabled S & L crisis of '80s
Please spread the word....this is not the type of man we want as President.
In 1975, Thompson began his eighteen year engagement as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., eventually representing clients including Westinghouse, General Electric (the current corporate owner of the NBC Universal-NBC television network), Westinghouse used to own CBS TV and the Tennessee Savings and Loan League

By 1982, Thompson worked the U.S. Congress membership as a lobbyist for passage of the Savings and Loan deregulation legislation desired by the Tennessee Savings and Loan League --- in this case, federal deregulation legislation allowing for additional government support of ailing S&Ls; giving U.S. thrifts the freedom to invest in potentially more profitable, but riskier, ventures; and eliminating interest-rate ceilings on new accounts to increase S&Ls' competitiveness.

Enacted into law during in September 1982, the Senate bill pushed by Thompson was incorporated into the Garn - St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982.
The Garn - St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 is widely credited with having laid the groundwork for the U.S. Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s

The savings and loans crashes of the 1980s, themselves directly the result of Reagan’s deregulation of the banking industry, is more interesting because of how it reflects the rapacious nature of unbridled capitalism than of Neil Bush himself. Who by the way, is now embroiled in another scam with his latest venture, educational software, Ignite
(turnover $20 million, much of it from educational subsidies obtained in the state of Florida ,where,‘coincidentally’ of course, his bro Jeb, was governor).

Thanks to liberal media, stupid Americans, and power hungry Republicans worthless in name only republicans. America has allowed it's best candidate leave the presidential race. Choices left (no pun intended) A Whiny, murdering I'll use the gender card, race card, sell technology to china for their vote Byitch, a Muslim masquerading as a Christian that in either case Hates America. And,No right on the money RHINO"S, that will help SOCIALIZE, Green to death America.
Come Back Fred THompson.

“The oil companies, the drug companies, the health insurance
companies, the predatory student loan companies have had seven years
of a president who stands up for them. It’s time we had a president
who stands up for all of you.”
