WOO HOO!
Actually I believe Kelsy Grammer IS a Republican.
Which is why we MUST work to get a REAL CONSERVATIVE nominated so we don't have to face this unpleasant prospect.
Grammer is a Republican.
ROVE; YOU MAGNIFCANT BASTARD!
That's my hope. Meanwhile, I don't want to crucify our FRiends for their opinions. We're gonna' need each other!
During the LONG judicial struggles involving the 2000 election, a reporter asked Bush what he would do if he didn't win.
Bush humbly shrugged his shoulders and said something like, "Go on with my life." He went on to explain that he didn't NEED to be president to fulfill his life. His handlers at the time cautioned him not to speak further, because of the happenings in the Court. But you got the impression that if he lost he would shrug it off and move on to the rest of his life... whatever that was meant to be.
Clearly, Gore didn't and can't follow that example. He has never stopped running for the presidency. But, I firmly believe he will continue to lose.
LOL..I was just talking with my family about that episode when she got shitcanned.
Well, we may never know the truth for sure, but I do have actual newspapers of the time with reports from the troops who captured him which says otherwise. Now they may have been lying, but they did give those accounts.
Davis had his faults, to be sure, but there is no need to disparage the courage of a Mexican War hero, who, on at least two occasions as President during the Civil War, had to be urged by his field generals to move farther away from the front lines for his own safety.
I would certainly call treason a fault. His courage does not make up for the catastrophe he and his criminal cohorts caused this Nation.
Voted YES on maintaining ban on Military Base Abortions. (Jun 2000)
Voted YES on banning partial birth abortions. (Oct 1999)
Voted YES on banning human cloning. (Feb 1998)
I just saw your ping...I left the thread.
I wasn't in the mood for a fight.
Besides...I decided to watch the speeches at CPAC that I missed to day....they have been on C-span.
I have no idea who I am going to vote for in the primary...I will listen to all..and evaluate.
I do NOT like to be called names because I have interest in someone..and I hate being spammed to death.
Another reason I really like him is because of this:

Ex-senator questions Fitzgerald's case {Former Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn}
Former Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., went on the attack Tuesday against Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, saying the prosecutor had to have known from the start that it was not a crime to disclose Valerie Plame's CIA identity.
A fundraiser for the defense of I. Lewis Libby, Thompson depicted Fitzgerald as out of control, telling ABC News there was ``no brake and no check and no balance'' on the prosecutor.
Thompson's objections are the same ones Democratic politicians made in the 1990s about independent counsel Kenneth Starr, who spent six years investigating President Clinton and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.
*snip*
While he was a senator, Thompson urged Attorney General Janet Reno to seek an independent counsel to look into the fundraising scandal surrounding the 1996 presidential election and he was disappointed when she refused to do so. Congress eventually allowed the independent counsel statute to expire.
``When you put too much power in the hands of unelected, unaccountable people who have every incentive to focus massive resources onto one particular person - who gets the plaudits in the media for doing so - it's a bad thing,'' Thompson told ABC.
*snip*
`Nobody's been charged with outing'' Plame, Thompson told ABC. ``The Justice Department knew that early on. The CIA should have known that early on. Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald had to have known that at the very beginning. There was no law that had been violated at the time the investigation had been started.''
*snip*
Fitzgerald ``turned out to be a fellow who can see miles and miles in a straight line, but had no peripheral vision at all and didn't realize apparently that he was caught up in a bureaucratic political dogfight,'' said Thompson.
Naw. Fred would pick a current or former Governor. Tommy Thompson?
Wouldn't work. Thompson and Thompson in the same WH is too confusing. Bush Sr. and Bush the son has been difficult enough. And Hillary Clinton knows her husband's name is so tainted that she now runs around wanting to just be called "Hillary". Names matter.
GREAT VP Material!!!!!! AWESOME!
To avoid thread drift we should take this conversation elsewhere on FR, but I'll just say that neither Davis nor any other Confederate was ever tried for treason, even though the Andrew Johnson administration, Congress, and a majority of the U.S. public wanted to do just that.
There's a reason for that, and it wasn't Northern benevolence.
He ain't running for prez, but perhaps for governor of Tennessee in 2010. Frist won't like that.
>> Fred has a woman problem. He's toast.
Can you clarify what you mean?
Sounds like a real "stand up" guy that doesn't mind pointing out things that need to be said...
This along with his help with the SCOTUS judge...
I like that he has gotten involved like this...and of course I like the side he is on in both cases...LOL
Whenever I have seen a poster type "Hunter/Thompson 2008" tonight..I can't help but think of Johnny Depp.
Didn't he play the author Hunter Thompson in that movie a few years ago?? LOL
