"He's more the kind of guy who just gets things done."

>>Sorry - that's what Giuli does.

Yes, he was great at pushing through sanctuary status for illegal alien criminals, and also a pro at grabbing legal firearms from law abiding citizens.

Maybe he's just hoping people will confuse him with the other Thompson (Fred).--massfreeper


... while the other Thompson is hoping people will confuse him with the president he played in a film about a terrorist attack (2005's 'Last Best Chance').

If he wins, does that mean we get a chip implant?

Especially when he was in the Cabinet. But, he WAS compassionate.

I am a F. Thompson supporter, haven't seen that movie, and still think he's the best thing we've got going.

The OTHER Thompson is 10000% superior to this one. Alfred E. Newman look-alike...

We've got too many "lesser" candidates right now. You know, the Dennis Kucinich's of the right...the guys who won't get more than 1% of the vote.

Tommy was conservative regarding social policies

I seem to recall he was a huge nanny-stater at HHS. I don't even remember the specifics now, but I believe there were many howls of outrage on FR -- "For this, we elected Republicans???!!"

For some reason TT reminds me of a cross between Ernie, Ted Koppel, and James Traficant.

If true, he must have a poorly run campaign. Announcing on Palm Sunday, where he will miss every news cycle. Announcing on April Fools Day.

When people figure out that Tommy is not Fred, his 1% will drop to 0%.

His Lieutenant Governor ran against Jim Doyle for Governor, and he made a couple of major campaign announcements on Friday afternoons, which of course nobody heard. Duh. He got buried in the election.

Well, that changes everything. Hmmm, not really. Is he any good on guns? Methinks not.
