"Americans are also at risk as he funds anti-American candidates and radicals all over Latin America."

Not to mention the anti-American Brooklynites that are basking in the glow of taking oil from Chavez.

Yeah, I’m seeing the definite signs of “fire in the belly.” Very exciting! Well said, Fred.

Now that’s a ticket I’d pound the street for.

“Watts wrong with Thompson/Steele?”

Freudian slip?

I’d prefer Thompson/Rice, but I want to win. JC is a good conservative who I trust to do the right thing.

Exactly right, Extreme. There are a lot of Freepers who are racist and don’t even realize it. They swoon over the thought of (insert favorite candidate)/Watts (or /Steele) to show how enlightened they are. The ONLY reason they clamor for Watts and Steele is because they are black. It’s really disgusting. If they were white, not a single person here would talk about either on a national ticket.

On the other hand, Condi and Colin are the right stature. Too bad they’re both RINOs. Now, if Thomas Sowell were to toss his hat in the ring, I’d vote for him in a second. But it has nothing to do with his race - he’s just about the most brilliant man in America. I’ve read his columns for years and have never disagreed with him. Every other columnist I disagree with from time to time, but never Sowell.

Let the Dems have their “magic negro”. We should live up to our principles and back the best candidate, period. I don’t care a lick about ethnicity or sex. Heck, I’m still waiting for the Republican Margaret Thatcher to show up, but I’m not going to beat the drum for a bubblehead like Kay Hutchison to show how wonderful I am for supporting a woman.

Fred hits it on the head, and Steele is as tough as nails. They will rebuild a strong conservative party.

C’mon, Fred. Get yo’self into the race! And keep talking. America needs to hear broadcast liberty every bit as much as Venezuela, East Europe and the rest of the planet.

Our current gov't is moving us into the New World Order...Where sovereignty is a thing of the past...They're working on implementing a North American Union, just like the European Union...

We don't need to worry about Venezuela gaining liberty...We need to worry about losing ours...

When Fred touches on that issue, he'll be worth listening to...Not before...

Dood...check your dosage. Is it legal for you to vote in your state when you are that stoned?

Freudian slip?

Nope, pun intended. Couldn't resist!

Steele is a good option as I don’t want Rice.

Democrats have fire in the belly. It’s called acid reflux. Fred has fire in the mind. I’ve been skeptical of his run, but I do so love to hear him speak on these matters. It’s very 1940s-ish.

Right on money! And it will cost us so much less than a week of war. (I support the war btw). The funny things we don’t have to lie in our propaganda - just present accomplishments of free people anywhere. There are many names for the times we live in, and the information age is one of them. Why in a world we neglect to inform people about all our positives, is beyond me.

Agreed. I back Hunter too but he is just not getting traction and Thompson will bring it home. He’ll crush Hillary and/or Obama 40-10.
