Oh yeah, I forgot about the whole tinfoil hat thing. Never mind...as you were.

In the Cavuto interview, Fred said, “You have to ultimately have the support of the American people. It is not a matter of kumbaya-ing over at — with Congress; it is having the support of the American people. That is where the power is in a democracy, and in a republic such as ours as a people.”
But I’m sure it was only rhetoric. /sarc
Here comes a very fine man, who never declared his candidacy for the Presidential Seat and gets sand bagged by his own Party.
Nobody seem to remember that Fred Thompson when he ran for the Tennessee's Senator's seat had said that he will serve the term as the Founding fathers intended to be.
He did just that, served as a Senator left his foot print (good or bad) and than went to the private sector as it should be.
Fred Thompson, in my book is the epitome of what the founding fathers ment as to how the Congress should operate.
The ones who say the country has moved to the left so we need to run a left-leaner don’t bother me, even though they’re wrong. It’s the ones (the majority, sadly) who try to tell us he’s really a conservative and/or that nobody else in the race is more conservative than Rudy. They’re peeing on my leg and telling me it’s raining.
Oh, did I mentioned that almost everybody is busy to dig up dirt on the man, instead to looks on the positive vices he might bring to the Office?
Let's vote for Rudy!!!!
Psych!
oh, don't blame him for that. You see, there aren't any!
LOL!
Thank you, I’m here all week! Try the veal!
Veal Marsala......I make it well....Y U M !
I see the Fred fan club has now convinced themselives that the ONLY person currently seeking the GOP nomination is named "Rudy". And let me guess, the only person the Dems have is "Hillary"
Funny, I coulda swore there were about a dozen other people actively running for President...
Duncan Hunter may be a great guy, and even a good Presidential candidate, but he’s virtually unknown, even by some conservatives. If he gets out on the trail this year, and comports himself well, he’ll get known, and maybe in the next contested election, he’ll do better.
It’s still very early, Suzi. A lot can happen, good and bad, before the primaries.
That’s why it’s good to have lots of candidates to learn about!
I agree. Thompson's rather nebulous speech seems to avoid the obvious solutions:
- Build and arm an impenetrable border with neighboring countries.
- Severely penalize employers who employ illegals as well as state governments who distribute federal resources to illegals as part of state welfare programs.
- DEPORT those found to be here illegally AS THEY ARE DISCOVERED through entry into the criminal justice system (arrests), attempts to find employment, or anonymous tips by citizens.
