If only that were so. LOL
A great man once said: The retarded kid down the road had a crush on my sister; that does not make my sister retarded.
"I like Fred Thompson. I usually vote Democrat because of the party's consideration of civil rights issues, but I will consider switching if he decides to run. I am also a Christian, and I like Mr. Thompson's values/views. I would even be willing to campaign in Nevada, and help draw in some African American voters to his side, especially if Hillary wins the Democratic primary.

It is with me!!!
New England Patriots fan here. Peyton’s been our mortal enemy on the football field, but now he rules!
he was given a touchdown he did not deserve against my beloved Seahawks. I can’t forgive him!
Dungy got in hot water in Indianapolis a few months ago, he supported legislation that one man / one woman was what marriage should be. Lots of people supported him but he was in trouble with gays and liberals and Democrats...
Oh, he’s gotta be a republican then!! There is a webpage that lists all donations to major candidates. I’ll see if I can find it again.
I appreciate all of your pings. Please continue to do so.
Finally, one I like. LOL
pissant, why don’t you just stay on the Hunter threads?
You truly are a pissant.
My heart bleeds.
Pst. BTW, I posted this. Not exactly a hit piece until wadded panty types showed up.
I didn't mean that Fred is a lefite because Dick Wolf is. But rather that Fred's integrity and character is so strong that even a die-hard leftie like Wolf wants to support him.
The one time I got close to Bush (the tail end of the 2000 campaign, hours before the drunk driving arrest info was unleashed), he struck me as a little short - roughly 5'10" or so.
Trim & fit, yes. Tall, no way. Not a midget, not at all. Definitely built like a runner.
gracias!
Careful you might get impaled on a spare exclamation point. ;)

Maybe they are just friends. It might not have anything to do with your statements. Who knows. Bottom line is that he received 2300 from Wolf and nothing more.
One of the few good things about McCain-Feingold (and, not coincidentally, the part that Thompson was responsible for adding) was the increase in the "hard money" cap -- it was increased to $2000 per cycle, and indexed for inflation, which is why it is now $2300.
