Have heard Fred’s wife speak up for Palin.
From what I have heard from Fred especially over the past year and a half, his views are much in line with Palin’s.
Personally, I believe that if Thompson decided to not run for president again, he would be an excellent choice for Palin as VP.
If we must “pull him out of retirement” then the necessary spirit is not in him and he will win no office. Reagan was not ‘pulled out of retirement.’ Reagan continued to work at it until he got it.Thompson is not the man. He can change that but we cannot.
That’s a pretty good team right there!
Sarah Palin. No ifs, ands or buts.
One word....SARAH!
Saks?
After hearing Fred clear his throat 571,576,751 times during his speech at the RNC convention I don’t think he would be a good idea for anybody.
Right now I’m softly supporting Jim DeMint. Things could change.
That would be a great team.
We’d have to wake him up, wouldn’t we?
Fred Thompson could be Sarah Palin’s Dick Cheney.
“After hearing Fred clear his throat 571,576,751 times during his speech at the RNC convention”
Yea, you’re right, we need somebody like Obama.
Fred is wide-awake. Reagan got caught falling asleep in cabinet meetings and accused of the same things.
Try not to be an idiot. I know it's going to be a strain, but try.
If the presentation of The Message gets in the way of The Message then The Message gets lost or at least muted. Work your brain as hard as you can. Don't hurt yourself. Just try to understand.
This statement is crap. Sarah Palin did not "come along". She was plucked from obscurity and put on the national stage by JOHN MCCAIN. And after she was picked by JOHN MCCAIN, some conservatives still felt betrayed.
ALWAYS REMEMBER
SARAH WAS PICKED BY JOHN MCCAIN.
Fred might be a good alternative if SP decides not to run and it would otherwise be a choice between Slick Willard and the Huckster. But, if that were the case a person w/more fire in the belly will have likely jumped in.
Try to refrain from name calling. Your message and YOUR presentation might carry a lot more weight.
Fred! (who was my candidate of choice) reminded (reminds?) me of a southern McKinley, except for the winning-the-election part: He hated campaigning even more than most candidates do, and thus, well, didn’t campaign as much as his rivals did. Pity, perhaps. But I still admire him.
I like the “Palin/Bachmann ‘12” tag. Bachmann has been on fire lately and at the same time attacked like crazy. If the lefties are attacking her like crazy that means she must be doing something right.
