Fredipedia: The Definitive Fred Thompson Reference

Yes, Thompson support is broad. From Moderates to Conservatives, Thompson is a winner.
Could This Be The One... (Fred Thompson Alert!)
Tom McClintock for Thompson
Why?
Is there a thread on FR that lists Fred's qualifications?
I'm not aware that he has ever administered even a Boy Scout troop. I don't see anything in his past that demonstrates that he is qualified to be President of the U.S.A.
Fred is certainly not Ronald Reagan by a long shot.
Help me out here. Why would I ever want to vote for Fred?
After what Dubya has done to us, Fred is going to have to prove that he's got what it takes to be President before I would vote for him.
He's 35, he's a natural born US citizen and he is capable of winning. There are no other 'qualifications'.

Fred is the closest thing we have seen to Reagan since, well Reagan. Fred articulates conservative values better than anyone in a long time and possesses as much 'qualifications' as anyone running on the Democratic side.
You are confusing “eligibility” with “qualification”.
Qualification - A quality, ability, or accomplishment that makes a person suitable for a particular position or task.
Fred is eligible. Don’t know about qualified?
I am not confusing anything, it is posters who are coming in trying to confuse things. Fred is the best man for the job, IMHO. There is nothing that one can put on a resume that proves one will make a great president.
However, your answers have been more than a little disappointing.
Reagan had been a successful governor of a state as large as most countries. Reagan had expressed his conservative views for many years in clear, understandable ways.
I'm not aware that Thompson has ever administered anything or has expressed his conservative views in any way close to the way Reagan did.
Other than being an actor, I don't see that Fred has much in common with Reagan at all.
I'm not trying to be a troll. I would really like an extensive and concrete list of reasons why anyone should vote for Fred.
So, far the leading reason seems to be that he's not one of the already announced candidates, who all seem to be lacking (except for Duncan Hunter).
Perhaps, I'm asking the wrong person. If so, I apologize.
Have you seen Reagan's resume?
If this thread is just supposed to be a rah-rah Fred thread, I'll go away.
Fred expresses conservative views better than anyone in the field.:
Fred Thompson on Global Warming : )
You’ve been a member here since ‘99 and you don’t know anything about FDT? You have to be full of it. Quite pretending and tell us what your angle is...
Clinton had a nice resume, so did Bush. Jimmy Carter's resume wasn't bad either. Smart guy, nuclear engineer, governor.
Good luck supporting Duncan. You have no interest in Fred, that is fine. There is plenty of stuff out there if you really care, but you don't. This is the age of the internet. Google is your friend.
Guess your screen name is more descriptive than I thought.
“Fred is eligible. Don’t know about qualified?”
Heh. The Rooty McRomneys are scared $hitless.
I have been watching his youtube videos. This guy (FDT) is good. He is real good. There is no way to learn what he has. He has what few Presidential candidates have ever had, a real ability to connect and to communicate. Only Reagan and JFK demonstrated this gift in my lifetime. Rudy, McCain and Romney must be very worried. They are far, far out of their league.
Wow! A positive article in the St.Pete Pravda!!
Why am I starting to get the impression that this is not the post to ask any questions about Fred?
Where’s the post for the open minded people who can actually question a candidates “qualifications” without the name calling?
Guess I agree with the previous comment. This is just a go-Fred-go bit of fluff instead of a discussion about the merits of the (maybe) candidate.
