LA Times Speak: Can voters really be that dumb to elect a second actor?
Thompson is the real deal.
I haven't seen his stance on RKBA, either, but I assume he'll defend the 2nd.
If he'll just come out and say we're going to seal the borders, eliminate the illegals by whatever means necessary, and eliminate any and all social programs for illegals, he's got my vote.
In before the fred head ping.

The LSM has been scouring everywhere, looking for dirt on Fred. They’ve held their fire thus far as he’s not a candidate.
But once he announces it’ll be Katie Bar The Door!
The DBM will unload on Fred like a ton of bricks.
IMHO, the MSM is very concerned about Fred. He has the potential to make this a real horse race.
I wonder if any of the people who write these pieces have read any of his essays..or his lengthy submission to the Senate at the time of Clinton’s impeachment..
It looks as if plenty of people don’t “get” Fred yet. Probably because he simply doesn’t fit the typical politician mold- which is precisely one of his strengths.
Stay tuned:)
If Fred D. Thompson really puts his country first, he will give a run for the Presidency a charming pass.
I suspect it's because Sean supports Rudy.
But you are correct, WE NEED to hear more from Thompson in that regard.

Fredipedia v2.26: The Definitive Fred Thompson Reference
Please FRmail jellybean, if you want on/off this list. WARNING: This ping list can often be extremely active.
Because?
Not a full position, but also Thompson on border relations with Mexico
They aren't considering Margaret Carlson splashy are they?
Why do you say that? From the looks of things, if Thopson does not run, this country will end up with either Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton, or Barak Obama as its next president. Which one is preferrable to Thompson.
A sovereign nation loses that status if it cannot secure its own borders and we are going to do whatever is necessary to do so,
But what about the illegals already living here, destroying America? Is Fred going to implicitly embrace some type of amnesty?
He's being too restrained in his comments.
I think most pubbies agree we've got to secure the borders. I want to hear someone say we've got to eliminate the illegals. By whatever means necessary.
Because there is a man vastly more qualified to serve in that office. And, if FDT is at all intelligent, he knows it. A magnificient and dramatic move on his part would be to step aside and endorse that man, Duncan Hunter. And, if Duncan Hunter deemed Fred Thompson of national value, and I think he would, he could choose him as a running partner.
Maybe you haven't heard, but there is no electable candidate that is saying all of that.
Full disclosure: Thompson wants to seal the borders, but he understands that it is going to have to be accompanied with at least some amnesty. I agree.
