Fred Thompson has been acting like a prima donna who deserves special privileges and considerations. First I know he’s an actor (minus one), he voted for Amnesty (minus two) and McCain Fingold Restriction of Speech (minus three). Now he’s skipping out on a debate this week to announce his candidacy on Jay Leno. Why does this Hollywood has-been think he’s better than the other candidates?

no...but however he knows that todays campaigns are ridiculously long. And quite frankly I agree. I am sick of all the blather between candidates already and how much longer do we have to go yet?

Meanwhile prospective Republican Delegates will be watching the Republican debate, and not Jay Leno. Whose base is Thompson trying to reach? Thompson better start playing to the Republican party.

Fred thinks that the voters will decide [as from the Sean Hannity interview in San Diego].

He’s offering something different, which is a refreshing change from the other candidates which many are dissatisfied with.

Ronald Reagan was an actor and he was the best president we’ve had in my lifetime, and considering Fred’s character and voting record, being an actor is a plus not a minus.

McCain Fiengold Fred has said was a mistake.

He isn’t a Hollywood has been, he could still be working if that was what he chose to do. That isn’t true.

Fred is not a prima donna, he isn’t asking for special privileges and considerations. He can make a case for himself and let the voters decide. He said once that if he didn’t succeed he would go back to being the happiest man in the world.

He isn’t skipping out on the debate, he hasn’t declared yet.

It would be nice to find something, anything truthful in what you said. There are half truths but you leave out important parts of it.

So why should anyone listen to your opinions? What are they worth if they aren’t based on truth?

Wow, you must really hate FDT to call him a "has been." Let's see, "Law & Order" in all of its variations is one of the most successful and long-running shows on television, "Hunt for Red October," "Cape Fear," "Die Hard 2," "No Way Out," and "Days of Thunder" were all very successful movies.

I would hate to think what you were saying about Ronald Reagan back when he first ran.
