The article needs a spell checker and the political analysis is superficial and weak. (Not intending to criticize you if this is your piece, but it’s not one of the best I’ve read.)

Kevin Costner, Alec Baldwin and Bruce Willis

One of those names is not like the others; one of those names doesn't belong ...

I thought Bruce was one of the good guys ...

I’m a natural skeptic, which I have found is a healthy attribute when it comes to politics. I hope this guy is what his supporters portray him as. If he is, I’d like to see a Thompson/Hunter ticket.

I'm waiting to see his view on illegal immigration. I will support no one that is for amnesty and for all the illegals staying in the US.

unlike Ben Stein, he’s not merely a speechwriter who went on to say “Bueller, Bueller, Bueller,” hock eyedrops and challenge you to win his money on television.

I know that he hawks a lot of products, but is Ben Stein so desperate for money that he has to hock his eyedrops?! That's unfortunate.

Thompson/Brownback 08 would work for me

The article read, “Let’s face it, Obama probably won’t be a hit south of Chicago, west of New York and east of California and that’s the area where people actually still vote.” The author also (suspiciously) uses the term ‘ghetto talk’.

‘Ghetto talk’? Who uses that term, anymore? As an aside, ‘squares’ is prison parlance, for those not familiar with jail.

Analysis of Thompson’s chances against any given challenger in the primaries—and assuming he wins the nomination—against the Democratic candidate in the general election is a topic for serious study and discussion, but not by this guy. The author grossly underestimates the efficiency of Hillary’s campaign machine, and the remarks about Obama make broad-brush assumptions about both the candidate and the electorate that don’t hold up intuitively and certainly aren’t supported by any poll data—or even anecdotal evidence. But that’s the thing: breezy little opinion pieces like this are flooding the blogosphere and detract attention from more substantiative argument.

Given the thinly veiled racism, sloppy thinking, and shoddy logic, I’m almost tempted to believe this piece was written by a Democratic operative pretending to be a Thompson supporter. It’s almost too amateurish.

The Romney supporters give Fred an occasional bash, but otherwise he seems to have a lot of support in the forum. The only real conservatives running appear to be Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter. Those two are obviously the Freeper favorites.

But those who are still working for Hunter need to move him out of the pack of minor candidates where he remains. He’s the only credible candidate among them, but he hasn’t yet been able to move above the pack.

Obama’s dad’s from Africa and he was raised in Indonesia. What the hell does he know about ghetto talk?

You don't get all those political plumbs without owing favors. For example, he was a Senator when the stampede across the border began and said nothing nor did anything. Keeping that tradition alive, he is not concerned with the 12 (24?) million illegals (according to the MSM) he is worried about the next 12 million (He said that to Hannity on FOX when he ducked the debates. I do not recall his plan; I do not recall him supporting deportation by law, force or self deportation.

Today, he continues that tradition - he will be a place holder for the next Bush, George (Foreman :>b Prescott Bush, How do we know, then Google this ? Prescott has jumped to the Fred Head campaign, but I though he has not announced yet. A lot of other Bush hacks also jumped there. G Foreman Prescott B has been bad mouthing the US South of the Border; check HIS blogs if you think all news is biased. Not another 4 years. No more GOoPers. Lets elect an American, not one for the business, by the business and against the electorate.

The only potential matchup problem I see for Fred would be against the Breck girl. Remember that old adage that no bald man will ever be elected President in the age of television? While I agree it can be a significant factor, it would really only come into play in a Fred vs. Breck girl matchup.

But, I'm not worried because only Hitlery can win the rat primary. And in a Fred vs. Hitlery matchup, the baldness thing would be totally meaningless.

So many lies I don’t know where to start.

Washington, DC - Today Senate Governmental Affairs Committee Ranking Member Fred Thompson (R-TN) hailed the passage of an amendment creating the new Department of Homeland Security, which the Senate adopted by a vote of 73 to 26. Final passage of the legislation, H.R. 5005, is expected later today.

The Thompson substitute amendment is identical to H.R. 5710, which was passed by the House of Representatives on November 13. With Senate passage of this bipartisan agreement, the legislation will be sent to President Bush to be signed into law...

The Thompson amendment also includes much needed reforms for the Immigration and Naturalization Service to promote stronger border security and immigration services. To address U.S. vulnerability to cyber attacks, the legislation includes language requiring federal agencies to utilize information security best practices to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of federal information systems...

http://hsgac.senate.gov/111902press2.htm

“I’m concerned about the next 12 million or 20 million. So that’s why enforcement, and enforcement at the border, has to be primary.”

“I think most people feel disillusioned after 1986 when we had this deal offered to them before, and now we’re insisting that, you know, we solve the security problem first, and then we’ll talk about what to do with regard to other things - certainly no amnesty or nothing blanket like that.”

If we can make it nearly impossible for an invader to get a job and give the border patrol the authority and resources to arrest illegals and send them back where they came from, more than half the battle will have been won.

George P. Bush has NO role in Thompson campaign. He endorsed him on his own.

You have been given this information repeatedly. Either you're Guy Pearce in Memento or you're a liar. I'd bet on the latter.

Good article.

We must, however, put to death the myth that Al Gore is an Acadamy Award winner.

He is not. Davis Guggenheim won the award. Gore has never been nominated for, nor has won, an Oscar.
