I know most of his positions, but what is his main thrust?
He's just Fredtacular!!!!!!!!
To be honest, I get the impression he’s doing this for his children and the long-term future of America.
His comments seem to support that...but then again, that’s just how I view his decesion to run.
it’s time for us conservatives to get rid of this rudy mcromney nonsense and get serious, as things stand right now hillary would embarrass any of them in a presidential election.
It tells me that nobody currently in the race has sparked the gop or conservatives yet.
I’ve gotten that same impression as well. I have a 7, 5 and 2 year old and he seems to make that connection to me.
I tend to agree with you.
From what I can see, Fred’s main motivation has to do with the philosophy of government He’s a Federalist and a Constitutionalist, thinks our current government is neither, and wants to fix it.
My impression (which could be totally wrong) is that if he could sit back and enjoy time with his family while some good man ran the country, he would like to do that. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that's an option. The only way a good person is going to occupy the Oval Office is if Fred Thompson runs and wins. He may not want to subject his family to the pressures and hassles they'd face while he was President, but that would be better than having them live in a country that was falling apart.
Go Fred!!!!!!!!!!!!
I figure you like any news of Rudy’s fall. Don’t we all!?
: )
But, can he beat the bitch?

That’s exactly what I think. The truth is...if he doesn’t run, chances would be slim for America’s future. We just wouldn’t be the same.
I like that reason to run more than anything.
Who? Edwards?
;-)
threat of radical islam, economy, borders, federalism
I think so. 47% of voters out there said they’ll vote against her, and he’s got less of dissaproval rating. All he has to do is gain a fairly small amount of support in key areas.
And to be honest, if Bush could do it in 2000 and 2004...under the conditions he did, I think Fred will fair off much better. That’s my impression. I think with time and debate, we’ll see that to be true.
