I have some questions about Fred Thompson that needs to be answered.
1. Besides being a Senator and an Actor, what else has he done?
2. Is this the same Fred Thompson that was rolled over by John Glenn in the Chinagate hearings?
3. Is this the same Fred Thompson that supported McCain and voted for the McCain/Fiengold bill?
4. Why is it ok for Fred Thompson to start as Pro-Choice and end up as Pro-Life but not ok for others like Romney?
5. Does he have any executive experience?
Any 'dings' that you can post concerning Mr. Thompson are insignificant compared to the train wrecks that are Rudy McRomney.
Mr. Thompson is the most conservative candidate that can actually win the election.
Wanna take this? I'm kinda busy.
Yawn.....
I hate John Glen. I'd like to hear the story behind that.
The other issues mention more or less disturb me, but a relatively conservative candidate with great ability to articulate it overwhelms that.
The only Fred I was familiar with had an inflection point on remuneration-rank curve named after him. [The point at which the rank-holder idiocy started preventing or constraining his capacity to cause harm, loss and damage, and thus his remuneration]. I doubt it is the same Fred, though.
I've heard it was partly due to the respect Thompson held for Glenn, being an astronaut and American Hero. Too bad the Democrats don't return the same respect to Republicans.
No this is not a ding, these are simple questions I like answered..
He served on several high-profile government panels and committees, including Watergate. Plus he helped shepherd Bush's judicial picks through.
2. Is this the same Fred Thompson that was rolled over by John Glenn in the Chinagate hearings?
That never happened
3. Is this the same Fred Thompson that supported McCain and voted for the McCain/Fiengold bill?
Yes, but he conceded that it didn't turn out the way it should, and should be revised or scrapped.
4. Why is it ok for Fred Thompson to start as Pro-Choice and end up as Pro-Life but not ok for others like Romney?
Thompson has been consistently pro-life throughout his political career.
You supporting Rudy, I take it?
No.... Romney...
Phwew! I was worried 'bout ya.
1. Was a Watergate prosecutor when only in his early 30s. Also an accomplished lawyer.
2. Yes, it was a weak spot, see my last post.
3. Yes, but he has quite definitively admitted it was a mistake - something McCain hasn't done - and all the other "major" candidates still support it.
4. Because most evidence says that the National Review article in question (where he was called pro-choice) was simply incorrect, and Fred was never pro-choice to begin with. Even if he was, his Senate voting record was 100% pro-life.
5. I dunno.
These are questions I like to know about Thompson... Simple questions.... That is all...
In and of itself this garbage from the liberal sect on FR is getting old real fast.
Well, I don't have the answers. LOL
You'd think the poster would take the initiative and do some digging on his own, eh? I guess Google and other related FR threads are just chopped liver.
Right, translation no dares to post anything bad Thompson, or that said person will be a liberal..
Yeah, A POX on those liberal Republicans : )
You're so coy...
