Thompson: 'charisma out of his ears'
Knoxville News Sentinel ^ | 4/1/7 | Knox Calling
A LOOK AT FRED THOMPSON and "the actor factor:"
http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070401/NEWS08/704010349
Hodding Carter III, who advised Jimmy Carter in the 1976 campaign and is an expert on Southern politicians, said he believes Thompson is "blessed" with the kind of exposure that other candidates have to spend months, even years, building.
"Every foreign policy of every major nation involves reason, common sense, carrots and sticks. You can't have all carrots and no sticks."
"You can't buy peace by just wishing it and avoiding the challenges that other nations present to you."
"The problem is that agencies sometimes lose sight of common sense as they create regulations."
"After two years in Washington, I often long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood."
"Is it really in our country’s best interest to signal to the enemy that they probably only have to wait us out a little longer because congressional determination to defeat them is crumbling? Doesn’t such a resolution further diminish our chances for success at the very time our soldiers are preparing to go into battle? And finally, regardless of our politics is this the time to announce to the world that our president is 'on his own'?"
"I think Roe vs. Wade was bad law and bad medical science. And the way to address that is through good judges."
"I think that we ought to be a tolerant nation. I think we ought to be tolerant people. But we shouldn't set up special categories for anybody."
"You know, marriage is between a man and a woman, and I don't believe judges ought to come along and change that."
"I'm against gun control generally. You know, you check my record. You'll find I'm pretty consistent on that issue."
"The court [by overturning the D.C. gun ban] basically said the Constitution means what it says, and I agree with that."
"We've got a situation where people could give politicians huge sums of money, which is the soft money situation at that time, and then come before those same politicians and ask them to pass legislation for them. I mean, you get thrown in jail for stuff like that in the real world."
"I'm concerned about the next 12 million or 20 million [illegal immigrants]. So that's why enforcement, and enforcement at the border, has to be primary."
"If Saddam Hussein was still around today with his sons looking at Iran developing a nuclear capability, he undoubtedly would have reconstituted his nuclear capability. Things would be worse than what they are today."
"Wars are full of mistakes. You rectify things. I think we're doing that now."
"I'd do it [pardon Scooter Libby] now. This is a trial that never would have been brought in any other part of the world. This is a miscarriage of justice."
"We've got an entitlement program that's bankrupting us. We've got things going on in Thailand, in Indonesia, in places that nobody ever talks about anymore that could impact on us."
"They're [the Red Chinese] still a totalitarian government that is building up their military tremendously and has 200 missiles pointed toward Taiwan."
Impeacnment:
I support FDT's analysis on why he voted to acquit Clinton on perjury and that would launch such a poster in to hyperdrive hysteria. And then I would ask did you even bother to read the analysis of this great legal intellect in the person of Senator Fred Thompson?

A FRED THOMPSON RUN GETS praise from Thompson's ex-girlfriend Lorrie Morgan.
As I've noted here before on several occasions, it pays to stay on good terms with your ex-girlfriends. Sometimes I even get blogging from them!
The Democrats are beginning to eat their own. Did anyone catch John Edwards on This Week with George Stephanopoulos? He was grilled like trout in the summer. This video is about 17 minutes long but it is worth it to see Edwards squirm in his seat.

It may be the ultimate Islamist-Leftist Convergence, a black hole of malignant idiocy and murderous intent so massive that it warps time and space: MARXISM 2007: A Festival of Resistance. Blazing Cat Fur has an excellent rundown of the creepy, insane, and diabolical people and organizations involved. This is a big one. link: 41 comments
They should expand their "hook" a bit: "If you want to help murder and imprison in gulags tens of millions and submit the rest to brainwashing and repression; if you want to institute a system that was the worst polluter on earth yet unable to feed its entire population adequately; If you want to eliminate real elections, private property, a free press, judiciary and turn law officers into the secret police to spy on everyone including your own family members;
then Marxism is for you my friend, or should I say Comrade.
For the non-atheist variant, see Islamocommunism".

"Right-Winger" Sarkozy Has Won French Presidency
May 6th, 2007From a deeply saddened CNN:
That was a pretty quick concession from Ms. Royal. The polls must have just closed.
Which makes one suspect that Sarkozy won in a landslide. If so, we won’t hear anything about it. We certainly won’t hear any mention of a “mandate.”
Only liberals get mandates.
