Fox News saw "new life" injected into the Arizona senator's "suffering" campaign.

So the melanoma's growing some short legs.

Never begin to believe your own rhetoric.

Hey, have you ever noticed that most of the naysayers have blank personal pages? Are they hiding something?

“I am certainly not disrespecting them,” Thompson said of his ‘08 rivals while appearing on Jay Leno’s show, “but it’s a lot more difficult to get on the ‘Tonight Show’ than it is to get into a presidential debate.”

Everytime he opens his mouth, I find my dislike for this man entirely justified.

Why?

For his honesty in speak or for just stating the truth?

**********GOP Candidates Debate Over the Iraq War
By LIBBY QUAID
Associated Press
September 6, 2007
DURHAM, N.H. (AP)

— Eight Republicans argued over the Iraq war and immigration before a crowd of 3,600 New Hampshire voters. Missing in action: actor-politician Fred Thompson, who skipped the debate in favor of announcing his candidacy in the more comfortable setting of late-night TV.

With delight, they zinged him for ducking the debate, their fifth. ‘’Maybe Senator Thompson will be known as the no-show for the presidential debates,’’ former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said.

‘’Maybe we’re up past his bedtime,’’ joked Arizona Sen. John McCain. (At 65, Thompson is actually six years younger).

Thompson’s scripted announcement — an appearance on NBC’s ‘’The Tonight Show,’’ a commercial and a Web video — allowed him to avoid the unscripted debate, which raised troublesome issues important to conservative primary voters.******

(The following are my remarks:)

Some of the Republican candidates should grow up.
I find it hard to believe that the candidates who were in NH chose to ridicule Fred Thompson for failing to show up for the debates. At that time, was FDT a candidate? No. Should he have gone even though he was not a candidate? No. Did the candidates who ridiculed FDT behave as one who wants to be our President? No.

FDT’s behavior was exemplary. His announcement was timely. FDT showed the candidates who ridiculed him how a presidential candidate should behave.

FDT, bless you and I hope and pray that you will be our next President.

Your statement is wishy-washy GM.

If AlGore entered the race as a Republican and campaigned against Hitlery would you vote for him just to win?

I know many liberals who tote your "winning" mindset and a few RINO's who do too.

Which one are you?

He’s right about Fred and may be right about dumping Hillary, though they seem to be making damn sure that can’t happen. However, Algore is another story. He can’t get in this race and even he is smart enough to know it, especially if his opponent is Fred Thompson. The simple reason is that the Global Warming farce that he’s been making a fortune with simply CANNOT withstand the scrutiny of Gore running in a presidential campaign. It would destroy the ‘movement’, as well as destroying Gore.

How do we win if we elect a liberal democrat?

“”...not sure I will vote for...Leaning Guiliani””


“”Mitt Romney is a Republican. Soon to be Mr. President Romney.””


So you went from Romney to Giuliani, that is a pretty short trip.

You’ve got to be kidding, that was a great line.

Sounds like you are simply pre-disposed to dislike anything Fred says.

Who wouldn’t doom us with your logic.

McCain, AKA Ted kennedy Jr.

Rudy, “Meet my sixth wife, we both donate the max to NARL and just love gun control

Mitt, “It’s Tuesday, so I must be a conservative”

Fred is the only one with a shot of actually getting conservatives out to vote.

What a load of bs. They are massaging your ego. Terry and others are dirty and they don’t mind getting dirty.

I think it all comes down to the lesser of many evils. Hillary being the greatest of them.

How we decide amongst the rest of them? We have over a year to decide. Maybe enough time for someone else to announce? The dance doesn't have to be to the beat of the MSM.

Of course not; but you won’t win if you elect someone that is not for America either. Look at what is happening with the great old Lion of a country, England and even what is happening here now with our court systems and people, not just border agents; getting arrested and charge for being on the right side of a crime.
