They showed the response to Thompson's answer and the expert said that it was as close to PERFECT as he's ever seen!

Thompson said that we should ENFORCE enforce our borders.

And Fox says that Thompson is on the side of America on this issue

[papasmurf]

Don’t get your hopes up. They’re just setting him up.

[No2much3]

I hope your demo bigwig is right. I don’t see anyone the dems are offering measuring up to Fred. JMO.

NO2

Yup! He is the only one who has remained consistent on this issue and has a plan that does not include Amnesty. Hate to think the world is coming to an end, but could CNN be right?

[papasmurf]

You need not cast stones at us FRedheads. Just be thankful and bask in the warmth, of your guy’s recent good fortune.

Hunter’s criticism of Thompson over this issue is well aimed. We need someone in the white house who isn’t a johnny-come-lately on this issue.

I doubt 10% think of it just as Southern Heritage.

Ever hear of the Dukes of Hazard ???

Daisy and the "general Lee' did pretty well to have been only supported by 10% of the population...

Display Dixie flag = racist

Burn Ole Glory = free speech...

only in socialist amerika...

Romney’s problem is he, like most limousine liberals, are “Born to the Purple”. They don’t travel in the same circles as ordinary folks like you and me. All they know about reality is what the media spoon feeds them.

This will come back to haunt him in the future and will negatively impact his polls in southern states. It even turned off a northerner like me (although I have Copperhead tendencies). The Confederate Battle Flag isn’t Hitler’s Swastika and the Secessionists weren’t Nazis.

Romney walked right into that one and showed by his visceral and immediate response his true feelings and his total disconnect with American history and the South.

I even have a Stars and Bars and Confederate Battle Flag of my own, along with a bunch of other historical American flags. I fly them all on Some National Holidays and nobody better try and remove them!!!!

If it was Frank Luntz, then he’s nobody’s plant. He’s a very well respected Republican pollster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Luntz

Just because you aren’t paranoid, doesn’t mean those men in black coats aren’t following you.

Fred. Bumperooonie.

There is no comparison between those who discovered the problem of illegal immigration in the last few months versus those who have been fighting it vigorously their entire careers.

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

Sure. But if it goes too wide, my friend will shut up, and I like his insight.

[MEGoody]

Dane, we know you are pro-illegal immigration. ;)

[Liberty Valance]

Holy Moly! Great post.

Good morning.

Geraldo is palatable, barely, only when he is out near the sharp edge. In any other context, he’s a racist drama queen.

That said, it’s good to see someone from the media showing the truth in the WOT.

I agree.

From a neighborhood calling poll of 4 of my lifelong Georgian neighbors, I can tell you 2 were angered by Myth, and all said they can live with FRed’s summation.

I used to think I didn’t have a dog in this (flag) fight. I’ve only been a Southerner for 10 years. But when taken in the context of US history, and how it’s being revised and raped, I find that I do, indeed, have a dog in the fight.

My dog says this flag does have a place of honor in our Society. I do understand how some can feel it’s racist, not because of the war and slavery, but because some have turned into THEIR personal symbol of hate and bigotry. But, that being the case, do we ban the black power flag? Or the LaRaza flag? No. And yet neither of these have stood over a free and democratic people, and neither of these have played a role in our Country’s history. Go figure.

I think the way some States have handled the flag issue is honorable, others, such as my State (Georgia) are cowardly acts of appeasement. Shame on all of us for that.

Have we become so used to postulating, finger pointing, raised voice candidates/politicians that we think someone who talks to use in an even voice, as though we were intelligent enough to understand without being yelled at, - doesn't have 'conviction'?

Yes. Style seems to beat substance...sadly.

“I would bet for a majority of Americans that is the very first thing they think of when they see that.”

I would bet a majority of Americans would think of Dukes of Hazard first. :)

I was in Raleigh last night on business and could not watch the debate. With me was a bigwig in the NC state Democratic party machine. I asked him which Republican he wanted most & least to get the nomination. He said that Huckabee and McCain would be the easiest to beat, Rudy and Mitt would make a tight race, but that Fred simply looked like the POTUS. He said that their G2 was that folks immediately associate Fred with L&O and other roles where he played the POTUS and the trust and believability meters go off the charts. He said that Fred’s campaigning style was too unknown to them to precisely evaluate, but, he did not think the Democrats had a candidate who could beat him in the general election. FWIW

Bump for your post.... Anyone can say anything on the internet, but I believe you. This is why they are so desperate to take him out of the contest. I do not agree with the reason he gave you about why people trust and believe Fred, because this reaction is common among those who never watched Law and Order or who don't even know who he is. People trust him because he's real and because he has a record to back up what he says.

If we do not make Fred Thompson our nominee, the Dems will celebrate all the way to the White House.

This may be your opinion, but don’t expect me to buy it.
