Fred Thompson on Hannity and Colmes 5/1/07 (Live Thread)

Tuesday, May 1:

• EXCLUSIVE! Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson sits down with us tonight. Will he or won't he enter the 2008 presidential race?

[Atlas Sneezed]

I hope Hannity asks Thompson what he thinks of today’s “Illegal Nation” demonstration, and if he thinks we should grant Amnesty to the over 20 million illegals already here.

---

I imagine that Fred will reply that the massive task of identifying and deporting millions of illegals is useless if we haven’t first secured the border, and THAT should be the first priority.

I hope Sean drops Rudy like a hot potato after this interview and jumps on the RunFredRun bandwagon faster than a duck on a june bug!!! :-)

Sean’s a New Yorker and Rudy is some kind of hero to him. He’s been sipping the Rudi-ade."

I like Sean but for a "Conservative he seems to elevate some politicians to the level of conservative when they aren't (Arnold being case in point,)

after reading some of his commentaries, particularly those regarding federalism and Russia, I am 100% behind Fred

Agreed. It’s amazing to hear someone speak clearly, plainly and convincingly about federalism these days. Especially considering the guy in the White House.

And Fred’s word on VT, self-protection and the authoritarian roots of gun control made me stand on my seat and applaud:

BTTT

[Atlas Sneezed]

Will Sean be wearing his Rudy pin?

You mean this one?:

[jmc813]

Just my opinion but Sean seems to be giving a lot of praise to Rudi on a regular basis.

No doubt that Sean's a Rudy guy at this point. I just wanted to clarify that he's been very fair with giving all of the GOP candidates air time.

[Petronski]

He likes kissing arses, especially among NY pols and Hollywood types.

Ever hear Sean Hannity talking with Charlie Rangle? Sean doesn’t as much question him as he does fellate him.

[The Pack Knight]

As dopey as his politics are, Alan is actually a really nice dude in real life.

I've heard the same, and also that callers to his radio show are not screened. I have a lot of respect for that.

[Jim Robinson]

Run, Fred, run!!

[concretebob]

Fred Thompson is the perfect example of the importance of CONTEXT. Four or five years ago, I wouldn't have been so quick to support him. Yet here I am, actually excited by the prospect.

I was ready to vote for him in 95, 99, and 03, and I'm STILL waiting for the chance to pull the lever, push the button, punch the card, whatever.
A long time coming...

Did you find it okay? Since it’s in the archive the link may not work, if not, search on “having a baby” in the archive and you will find it there.

Please let me know if you can access it.

Future Political Promo spot:

“I’m not the President, but I’ve played one on TV...”

[Reagan Man]

Thanks for the thread and the heads up.

I’ll be interesting to see what Fred Thompson has to say.

I’ll be just as interesting to see what questions that old RudyShill Sean Hannity asks of FredT.

[jmc813]

Did you find it okay?

Found it fine. Reading it as we speak. Great thread!

[jmc813]

Run, Fred, run!!

Big bump to that, Jim! Hope you can stick around for the live portion of this thread.

[Shelayne]

Woo Hoo!

Unfortunately I will probably miss it, so y’all take really good notes! ;^)

Run, Fred, RUN!
