President Elect Thompson and Our Next Terrorist Attack
News By Us ^ | Apr 04, 07 | Bruce Walker

Posted on 04/04/2007 8:04:09 PM PDT by Josh Painter

Amyone really watching the development of politics in America today must see that Fred Thompson is really President-Elect Fred Thompson. I say that as someone who thinks Rudy Giuliani would make a great wartime president and who would also do many of the good things for America that he was able to do for New York.

The reality, however, is that even the shadow candidacy of Thompson is casting a huge shadow indeed. The online Sean Hannity poll showed Thompson getting, as an unannounced candidate, more votes that all other Republican candidates combined. Fred Thompson, as an unannounced candidate, is winning every straw poll in the South. Fred Thompson, who will soon be visiting with Republican members of Congress to discuss his possible candidacy, has been overwhelmed by senators and congressman who want to talk with him (probably because he is the best chance Republicans have of re-taking Congress.)

Will he win the general election? Fred Thompson is likeable, persuasive and savvy man. Thompson is a conservative on every major issue of the day. Democrats will nominate a Leftist, not a centrist, as their nominee. When is the last time a Leftist defeated a conservative in a presidential election? Try 1916, when Woodrow Wilson – using the Ku Klux Klan Leftist South eked by Charles Evans Hughes. That was not just the last time but the only time.

Why? The Battleground Poll, the most respected of all the polls, has consistently for many years shown that sixty percent of Americans consider themselves as “conservative” while only thirty-five percent of Americans consider themselves as “liberals” (those poll have the option of calling themselves a “moderate” or “don’t know” and choose “conservative” or “liberal” instead.)

...President Bush, at his best does not approach Fred Thompson at his worst as a communicator...

I just thought of a great role for FT — he can be White House spokesperson for Giuliani.>

He's not enough of a whore.

Fred Thompson is a folksy old guy

He's only a YEAR AND A HALF OLDER THAN RUDY!

And you wonder why people don't take you seriously.

Actually this is the WORST INDICTMENT of Fred Thompson, acknowledging that ALL HE CAN DO IS MAKE SPEECHES — if someone writes it out for him.

That's what they said about this man also.

As Yogi Berra would say: "This is deja vu all over again."

[ In your myopic view anyone who likes a Republican you don’t like is a RINO ]

Actually ...
Democrats are for a Democracy ...
-AND-
Republicans are for this Republic..

Republicans for democracy are RINOS... really its very simple..
I've heard George Bush call America a democracy many times but NEVER a republic..

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin

[ But spamming is not approved behavior on this forum, is it? So if he's posting anti-female posts on multiple threads, perhaps the Mods should be notified tjhat he's breaking FR rules. ]

So saying what you don't want to hear is spamming?..
And speaking the obvious is being anti-female?..

Most democrats are women as are most liberals..
Are women(democrats/liberals) generally dumber or are they brain damaged.. Or do they merely make judgements according to their feelings and what seems obvious?..

Not all women are this way but most seem to be.. Proving the founding fathers correct in not allowing them the VOTE...

Just the opposite, he would stand up to them

As in, those tried-and-true conservative positions of abortion being a "right" and that taxpayers have to pay for poor people's abortions? That was Rudy -- yesterday -- "standing up".

No. Spamming is posting the same thing on multiple threads and it's against FR policy.

It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not I agree with you.

As for your argument that people shouldn't vote because they're liberals, what difference does that make to you?

In your warped worldview, everyone except YOU is a liberal, so by that standard you're the only one who should be able to vote.

You've been caught in your own silly little trap, hoser.

btw, I'm sure you regret that blacks got the vote too. Afraid to admit that on a public forum?

No blacks can vote... but its the WOMEN of all races that are suspect..
I suggest they prove that they understand political things first..
Maybe a test..

A test proving they(women) know the difference between a democracy and a republic.. and how this particular republic is different still than any other republic ever invented..

Few americans, you know, even know the difference between a democracy and a republic.. and that the United States Constitution has NO WHERE IN IT the words .. democracy, democratic or democrat..

You grossly overestimate men, hosepipe.

But I hope you're not married, just in case you actually are this condescending in real life.

btw, why did the Founding Fathers goof up about blacks if they were right about women?

Don't answer that. Your opinion means NOTHING to this well educated, conservative woman.

1) Ans: they didn't even address race.. in the constitution..

2) My opinion does mean something or you would not have posted to me.. Duuuugh..

3) You know I'm right generally about America women because its exactly the same about American men.. except not in so great a demographic..

I think they will. I know of a multitude of them here in TN that will vote for him and from what I read in other forums, he is pretty popular with moderate/conservative Dems in other places.

Thompson will bring in "Reagan Democrats" by the droves.

Yup, not only moderate Dems, but former Obama supporters and former Rudy supporters (me among them) will pull the lever for Fred in a heartbeat.
