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 dont know and choose conservative or liberal instead.)
...President Bush, at his best does not approach Fred Thompson at his worst as a communicator...

He's not enough of a whore.
He's only a YEAR AND A HALF OLDER THAN RUDY!
And you wonder why people don't take you seriously.
That's what they said about this man also.
As Yogi Berra would say: "This is deja vu all over again."
Hurts don't it.. Americas women generally are dumber than posts.. Slaves to their feelings and the obvious.. like a RAPPER.. Blow in their ear and they will follow you anywhere..
God bless you then..
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 the road to socialism. Karl Marx
Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.- Karl Marx
AH!.. All feelings and bluster.. and desire to spend other peoples money..
Are you a democrat?...
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...
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".
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..
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..
Nope.
I just like to talk. I'm a woman, you know...... ;)
Thompson will bring in "Reagan Democrats" by the droves.
;)~...
Most are women. The rest are faggots.
LoL...
Betcha not many ever followed you anywhere.....
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.
