Ohh, Sue! I'm pleased that Freddie T. is entering the race too! I just think he should wait until the fall, after more of the 10 or 12 suckers bow out. Why leap into the frying pan so soon? Why campaign so much, debate so much, and suffer media barbs so much? Its better for him to remain the dark horse until he can spring from out of the shadows and crush his party opponents mercilessly without his REAL and HATED enemies in the media and DNC getting too involved.

why hold off the celebration??
i mean, c'mon... Mitt, John, Rudy... really, thanks for playing, but do we really even need a primary, now?? i think everybody else can safely assume it's over.
no more comical farces, attempting to pass as debates. no wondering 'who will it be?'
we already know. all the polls have Thompson ahead... even before he made any allusions to running!

OH... and all those nuts murmuring about Ron Paul...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEE!!
HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOO!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!

THAT'S A GOOD ONE... REALLY... HAVENT LAUGHED THAT HARD IN AGES!
but it's time to get serious. Thompson is here, now, and we know what happened the last time an actor was elected as president.

 

[Evil Dead]

I would have voted the Mormon in, just because his religous views are hilarious!

But if Freddie is entering, he has my vote. Not only is he from Tennessee, HE WAS IN ACES:IRON EAGLE III

That's as good a reason as any.

Ron Paul the only voice of reason I've heard from either side and he does'nt have a chance.....looks like another election between dumb and dumber....

 

[fah-q]

Sue, what makes you so sure that Fred will be able to be out Rudy in the primary? Who is this RuPaul character anyway?

Rudy is far too liberal on social issues, for starters. the conservative base arent going to go for it. not to mention, a lot of GOP'ers see a Reagan-esque quality in Thompson. that's a dead-on winner.

 

[SueNC]

Ron Paul the only voice of reason I've heard from either side and he does'nt have a chance.....looks like another election between dumb and dumber....

first of all, Fred Thompson is FAR from dumb, on any level. he's a very savvy character and a strong Republican voice.

as for Ron Paul being the 'voice of reason,' what part makes him the voice of reason? was it the part where he said Iran isnt a threat and doesnt even have a military? maybe it was the part where he blamed America for 9/11 and volunteered to be the first one to get on his knees in the process of surrendering our nation to Allah?

dunno... he just came across as a braindead waste of space, to me.

 

[MyHatred]

Why leap into the frying pan so soon?

Well, it would more than likely be because he needs to build up campaign finances. Those checks don't write themselves

/Not impressed with a single candidate from either side.

Good point, but jumping in early means spending money like water early.

Best thing is to let the others duke it out, and then milk the losers for whatever campaign cash they got left when they decide to quit. Perhaps Tancredo and a few others will have some millions to divert to Freddie.

I'm still not convinced he's serious. True, he quit LAW N' ORDER, but on the other hand, his aide denied he's gonna announce a run on 4th of July.

Sounds like someone's trying to OUT him to test the public's reflexes!

[Jurched]

Yeah, I reiterate the same shit. Who da fuck is Ron Paul anyway? I never heard of him before.

If he's the voice of reason in the GOP, of course he's got no chance.

Pat Buchanan was the best speaker (and candidate) for several election cycles, but nobody wanted to touch him. Same with Alan Keyes, my favourite homedog. He was hands down the best speaker and most sensible candidate in 2000. But, he's too conservative and too black.

Why Fred Thompson?
By Robert D. Novak
CNSNews.com Commentary
May 31, 2007

Fred Thompson sat at the end of a long table in The Monocle restaurant on Capitol Hill Tuesday night for dinner with some 20 fellow conservatives, mostly journalists. He sent two signals. First, he sounded like a man who has decided to run for president. Second, his candidacy will be something different from other Republicans, in both substance and style.

This was one of the irregular sessions of the Saturday Evening Club, which is not a club and never meets on Saturday. The name was purloined from H.L. Mencken's Baltimore discussion club by R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., editor-in-chief of The American Spectator. Tyrrell arranges and presides over these events, always featuring a guest newsmaker -- usually a Republican presidential hopeful over the past two years. Former Sen. Thompson was the most intriguing of them because he has become a leading prospect for president even though he has not announced his candidacy and has no real campaign.

Thompson's performance Tuesday night, with his remarks off the record, helped show why many Republican insiders are ready to support him. Thompson is winning straw polls at Republican conferences and running well in polls mainly because of dissatisfaction, for varying reasons, with the three leading GOP candidates-Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney. But Thompson at the dinner table confirmed the widespread perception inside the party of his potential to be an extraordinary candidate.

Thompson disappointed in his first speech as a prospective candidate, addressing the Lincoln Club of Orange County, Calif., on May 4. Discarding a speech he had written himself, Thompson ad-libbed from handwritten notes, a performance that placed him in the usual run of Republican after-dinner speakers. This was not the second coming of Reagan that Californians envisioned. Was all the excitement about Thompson merely engendered by his television role as the formidable Manhattan district attorney on "Law and Order"?

He stuck to his prepared cards for his second speech, at a Republican state party function in Stamford, Conn., last week, and it was a considerable improvement. It sounded more like an off-the-record conversation he had with me in Orange County, Calif., before his speech there, and his Saturday Evening Club conversation.

The Connecticut Republicans, down to one seat in Congress after 2006 election losses, cheered when Thompson told them: "I think the biggest problem we have today is what I believe is the disconnect between Washington, D.C., and the people of the United States. People are looking around at the pork barrel spending and the petty politics, the backbiting. The fighting over all things, large or small, is creating a cynicism among our people." That cynicism, Thompson contends, mandates a different kind of campaign for 2008.

Thompson implied at Stamford that Republicans, along with Democrats, are responsible for making Americans cynical. While so far not spelling this out publicly, he deplores ethical abuses, profligate spending and incompetent management of the Iraq war. He becomes incandescent when considering abysmal CIA and Justice Department performance under the Bush administration. He is enraged by Justice's actions in decisions leading to Scooter Libby's prison sentence.

In his Senate voting record and his public utterances, Thompson is more conservative than Giuliani, McCain or Romney. He takes a hard line on the war against terror (referring in Connecticut to the danger of "suicidal maniacs" crossing open borders) and worries about immigration policy creating a permanent American underclass.

His one deviation from the conservative line has been support for the McCain-Feingold campaign reform, much of which he now considers overtaken by current fundraising practices and perhaps irrelevant. Overall, his tone, in a soft Tennessee drawl, is less harsh than that of other Republican candidates -- a real-life version of the avuncular fictional D.A. he plays on TV.

Beyond ideology, Thompson envisions a 21/super st/nosupersub -century campaign, utilizing the Internet more and spending less money than his opponents. When speaking to a friendly audience or ruminating off the record, the 6-foot-7 actor-politician does not look or sound like the GOP's announced candidates for president. His challenge will be to convey that impression when he appears with opponents on the same stage in the immediate future.

He is the only one with enough courage to go against Americas disastrous immigration policy…something the neo cons utterly ignore. In fact, these neo con clowns are ALL FOR open doors to Mexico…that’s right lets take all of them in and let them destroy our own back yard and then we will take our best and bravest men and women and let them fight and die in endless wars in the Middle East.

These ‘conservatives’ of America are the biggest hypocrites that embrace every single one of the politically correct dogmas of today‘s American waste land, they totally embrace the left wing philosophy, but hey they go after ‘terrorist’ and want the United States Federal government to have total control over the world…the only problem is America will be totally replaced by non Americans within a few decades! So have control over the world for a few decades before we become Latin America right?

Surrendering our nation to Allah? Who allows Muslims to entire the United States by the millions? Is it Ron Paul who wants endless immigration, or is it the neocons and the rest of the American establishment? If these Muslims are such a threat, then why is our southern border left unprotected??? Iran has ZERO nuclear weapons, how much does the United States have? There is no telling these days, but we would utterly destroy Iran. If we want to keep our nation strong, and be able to destroy any potential threats from ‘rouge states’ then we must secure our border and fix our foreign and domestic policies!

PATTY!!! I'VE MISSED YOU!!

but seriously... put Ron Paul against Fred Thompson and who do you think stands the better chance of getting the GOP nomination?

Fred Thompson over Ron Paul, but I doubt we will see any Republican in the executive branch for along time…if anything Hillary Clinton will be our next president or another person who totally supports political correctness. Until there is a cohesive right wing movement that can change the political force in favor for America, you will only see political puppets run for office...none of them will look out for the United States.

 

[Evil Dead]

If Hillary becomes president America has totally crossed the line on becoming the laughing stock of the world. I dont care about a woman being president, but the PC'ness with be reaking. We have already become a country full of pussies, now it is just gonna get worse.

About nukes, Iran has zero, and with a head on attack against the US military them, like any countries military, will get smoked. But they would just adopt the Iraq practice of the roadside bombs. Very effective. With all our nukes we should use them as a show of force, but it would probably just keep the cycle of bloodshed going forever since Islam knows no humility, they must have their way.

America won't win another war until we change our rules of engagement. I loved seeing assholes with guns and making sure that our element of surprise wouldnt last so they would fire first, then allowing us to slaughter them "legally."

I'll give Fred the benefit of the doubt..I dont know too much about him......I dont see Iran as much of a threat....If they want nuclear power so bad we should just offer to build it for them....
