He is the only Republican who would take my vote from the Libertarians.

If Fred Thompson chooses to run, he will do so for all of the right reasons, instead of for all of the egotistical reasons so many others opt.

I say lets get some young blood in the race. We know what the present geezers and geezeretts will say (or their handlers will have them say).

“...It’s been said by many including me, that America is experiencing a nationwide epidemic of Attention Deficit Disorder. ..”

What was that again?

Oh yeah...

Yes! acting skills and comfort in front of the camera helped Reagan get his messages across, and it will help Thompson too.

plain spoken Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson


I’m inclined to support him, but I’d really like to start seeing collections of his plain-spoken wisdom and speech we hear so much about.

Worth a read.

Here’s a good quote:
“He’s the only one smart enough to not really want the job!”

Like an idiot I forgot to bookmark the thread in which Fred talked about illegal immigration on the Paul Harvey program. I didnt have time to read much of it but it looked like he has the toughest stance on the issue. Whomever grabs that issue and runs with it will win the election. I have never spoken to so many libs who agree with conservatives on the amnesty issue - and I live in Massachusetts!

Fred Thompson's stance on immigration:

NUMBERS USA

Hopefully his stance changed since then.

Right, like Hitlery, JulieAnnie and McNuts.

You say that as if JulieAnnie weren't the poster boy for illegal immigrants.
