Well, my support, all of my one vote, is now going to Romney. I think he’s our best shot.
Fred Thompson for Attorney General!
I second that motion!
Could it be principle that are driving the Lawyers to Mitt? Nah, it’s the billable hours.
Lawyers are often motivated by principle and loyalty to ideas, they never ever expect anything in return.Do they?
Lawyers do love liberals..especially ones who can't decide on their positions without consulting polls and lawyers. Kind of reminds me of one William Jefferson Clinton. U.S. Army Retired |
Mitt is the closest to Fred on issues.
Simple as that.
We all expect something in return....like a decent country..one that isn’t pulled further down in to the muck by another Clinton. Even lawyers can think that.
I don’t trust anybody that dyes their eyebrows.
Give Fred the VP slot, Mitt, or I’m staying home.
You need a southerner, and no, Arkansas doesn’t count.
That, is a more meaningful post than VP.
Good call
Don’t have a problem with that, though sometimes I fantasize about bringing John Ashcroft back.
Oh good, flocking lawyers! Just what we need!
Every vote counts and it looks like Mitt is starting to pile them up. I’m hoping the country will rally around him now and then he will have more time to get prepared nationaly for the campaign against the democrat machine.
Happy Sunday to you!!!!
Dont have a problem with that, though sometimes I fantasize about bringing John Ashcroft back.I'm sure the Democrats would love to run against a GOP nominee who said he would appoint Ashcroft again.
someone here on FR posted there was a CNN crawl indicating Thompson was going to endorse Romney.
CAN ANYONE confirm this?
nothing on cnn.com or fnc or ap or reuters.
this would be a HOT story.
more relevant that crist’s mccain epiphany
Oh, I know that. He’s politically radioactive. But what a run he had.
