I’ve Frunk quite a bit today. Neither Murray nor Cantwell even have voicemail up at their local offices.
Insulting.
He sold his home a while back but his son said he’s looking for a new one, so I assume he plans to run as a Tennessean.
Now wouldn't that be one heckuva confirmation hearing! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!

Fred Thompson is not as conservative as Lindsey Graham. "True conservative" FDT has a lifetime conservative rating of 84%, "RINO traitor" LG has a lifetime conservative rating of 91%. You may not like that fact because it goes against your agenda on this forum, but facts are facts.
You guys can continue to whine about "Torture bill" and "Gang of 14" (which turned out to be not that bad, though I guess you guys are still frantic about it) all you want. The only reason why Fred isn't "tainted" by those is NOT because he ever came out against it, but because he was retired from the Senate by the time it came up.
Fred Thompson is just as much of a McCain supporter (as he retaliates in the interview) as Lindsey Graham, he was instrumental in passing CFR, and like all Washington politicians he insists he's "against amnesty" but his voting record shows he voted for it, and he claims enforcing the laws on the books and actually DEPORTING the illegal already here is not a "realistic option". Whether you want to admit it or not, everything you condemn Graham for, you're willing to give Fred a pass on because he sounds manly and tough instead of "light in the loafers"
A guy with a 91% conservative record is unfit to serve in the Senate but a guy with an 84% conservative record should be leader of the free world. Right.
Sheer hypocrisy.
Politics is still about the amorphous “possible”. More goes into electing someone than an ACU score. Like it or not, one will compromise, do some minor favors, reach across (or, as I call it, reach around).
I’m a Christian first, Republican (a close) second, and am supporting Rudolph Giuliani because (with a smaller element of faith), I believe, regardless of the color of the jersey, the element of Leadership and charisma is still important in ruling a diverse nation in a world of conflicting visions.
Before Reagan Man and Spiff jump on me with their scourging whips, I will support the GOP nominee, and am also working at the grassroots for DH and, if he ever jumps in, FDT.
Forest for the trees. Let’s junk this immigration amnesty first. Then, once we have our celebratory beers, the anti-Rudys can kick my ass in the alley.
His Mom still lives here, right? I think the red truck is at her house.
Love this interview!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Mark L. too. Sounds like he gets it about Fred.
>>>>>I’m a Christian first, Republican (a close) second, and am supporting Rudolph Giuliani ....
Obviously, you're no conservative. By your own definition you're a liberal Rudybooster. The idea that you support Rudy, while you work for Cong Hunter --- and later on Fred Thompson --- at the grassroots level, is the height of absurdity. Its laughable.
Liberal? Moi?
This isn’t the place to litmus-test IslandJeff, but I worked fulltime against Jim McDermott in 2006, and am currently a Republican Party officer in Washington State.
You?
Somehow, I knew you would be here.
10-4! SOS
>>>>Somehow, I knew you would be here.
Next time don't PING me. LOL
I pinged you out of courteous FR protocol, since I cited you in a post.
Have a great Sunday. “LOL”
Exactly. That's what I said.
This is approaching minutiae, fellow citizen. I was just following protocol. My guess is you would address Mods or JR had I not, hoping, gleefully, for my “bugzapping” banning.
We have too much at stake for the next five days or so. You can have me banned later, RM. We’re all guests here.
Thanks for that info. I thought that he would probably run that way if he still had a home there.
...you're an idiot or damned liberal. That's the only explanation for any one with two brain cells to rub together, who knows Giuliani's positions, and who still supports him.
Politics is still about the amorphous “possible”.
Possible? Yeah, what is not just possible but highly probable is that if Giuliani is nominated as our candidate the Republican Party as we know it, and as a viable political power, will be destroyed. That's what you're messing with when you believe you're taking an intellectual, nuanced, and pragmatic position to support Giuliani. You're advocating the destruction of the Republican Party because you got it into your head that Rudy is somehow a leader or charismatic or something and that, if he is, that somehow means more than the core principles that are the very foundation of our party. If you take that foundation away, the party will crumble and splinter.
I believe, regardless of the color of the jersey, the element of Leadership and charisma is still important in ruling a diverse nation in a world of conflicting visions.
Diverse nation? Conflicting visions? You're sounding like a moral relativist just like Giuliani. A multiculturalist who believes that all cultures and ideas are somehow equal. A "diversity" B.S. liberal. Somehow, someone got you to gulp the liberal Kool-Aid and you don't even know how far you're gone. You really need to get your head on straight and junk some of the stuff that somehow got in there.

That's all well and good and I respect that you're trying to do the right thing and are on the right side of at least one issue. But stop the Giuliani worship B.S. It just makes you sound so stupid.
Yes, we need to stop this amnesty. But don't think for one nanosecond that Giuliani wouldn't push for this same amnesty or something worse. Bush betrayed conservatives by conspiring with the Democrats to push this liberal legislation through. Giuliani was never with conservatives in the first place and would do something like this the first day in office.
What a whiner!
He did not EVER vote for a general amnesty. He did vote for one for Cubans fleeing tyranny.
