I may have lost a Thompson supporter!

Will be back with developments...

How many people wouldn't have a problem voting for the guy from West Wing.

[colorado tanker]

I'm confused. This guy is your friend and corresponds with you. He liked Fred for Prez. But when he found out you support Fred, that turned him off Fred? Do I have that right?

[The Blitherer]

What an odd friend.

:-)

[America_Right]

You have the email from him verbatim. Draw your own conclusions. Sounds right, though... :) I don't get it, either.

[jdm]

LOL

[Pistolshot]

What I have found about a lot of Fred supporters is they know little of him before he was a Senator, except for the movie roles he has had. Once they find out about the depth of his experience with the beltway crowd, they start to look at things differently about him just 'being and actor."

Hopefully, your friend will look at that email and decide he needs to do a little more research. It can only help.

[cripplecreek]

I wouldn't worry about it till Thompson actually becomes a real live candidate.

[Jet Jaguar]

Perrot? Did your friend really spell it that way?

[papasmurf]

Well, heck, if that's all it takes to lose a loser, send him my signature, too. LOL

:O)

While I currently support Rudy, I'd have no problem if Thompson won the nom and I'd happily vote for him in the general.

That said, to compare Thompson and Reagan isn't exactly fair.

Reagan was President of SAG

Reagan, since the GE days in the late 50s and really picking up steam with "The Speech" for Goldwater in 1964 was arguably the national spokesman for conservatism for the better part of two decades

Reagan was a two term Governor of the largest state in the Union, population and economy wise.

Reagan had already ran in 1968 and in 1976 when he came within a hair of taking down Ford.

Thompson has no real executive experience of any kind, spent 8 years in the Senate during which time he never really led any key committees or accomplished any signature legislative feats to speak of. I don't recall him being described as any leader in the conservative movement from 1994-2002.

He left the Senate in 2002 and seemed quite happy in his current gig until conservative dissatisfaction is causing him to reconsider.

Thompson has never ran for national office before.

He seems to be a guy that people are latching on to because they're not happy with the current field, more than they are happy with him.

That said, with Thompson considering getting in, it appears that Rudy may have accomplished the goal of sinking the USS McCain. All Freepers should probably recognize that if it wasn;t for Rudy and his numbers the last few months, McCain would be at 40% or higher and would have the inevitablity thing that Hillary has. Rudy took that away from him and if nothing else, Rudy's candidacy finished off McCain and for that he deserves credit.

[Argus]

It's a long way to the election. Fred Thompson has plenty of time to make his case.

[colorado tanker]

He kinda sounds like Kramer from Seinfeld. Offer him soup.

"I may have lost a Thompson supporter!"
You probably just misplaced it: you might have left it in a pocket of the different pair of trousers. If you still cannot find it, check the "lost and found" section in a local newspaper [you might have to offer a reward to the finder, though]. The supporter might still be there, unless someone else has already claimed it.

[traderrob6]

With all due respect to you I don't think your friend is a real deep thinker.

[America_Right]

Perrot? Did your friend really spell it that way?

He's an engineer. Great at math, horrible at grammar and spelling. :) Don't let that fool you, he's no dummy.

If Senator Thompson will run, I'll support him. If there is not other reason(s) to elect him Presidnet the retribution to the criminal enterprise dnc would be reason enough ... his chinagate hearings and committee were uncovering the thorough corruption of the dnc and clinton/gore and the criminal enterprise democrats like Glenn, Toricelli, and Durbin had to lie repeatedly inn the minority report to blunt the truth. One need only read the facts available at the government doc site, then read the utter bullsh!t the dnc operatives wrote in their minority responses/report. The facts of DNC corruption and subsequent democrat cover-up work and lies are frightening.

The mental pain the democraps will suffer with Fred as Presidnet is reason enough to support him wholeheartedly. Besides, he's a Tennessean, an honest man, and a true conservative.

[frankenMonkey]

Are you sure you're not confusing that with a "johnson supporter"?

[GSlob]

Nope. There are two of them in the "found" section. Nobody wants to claim, so they'll have to be auctioned off as abandoned property.

[America_Right]

LOL! Maybe I should have rethought my headline...
