Thompson In
If you believe this report – and we do – former Sen. Fred Thompson will indeed throw his hat in the ring for president of the United States. As many readers of the GOPNation.com know, we endorsed Thompson, believing he is the best candidate at the right time to maintain the White House for the GOP. An Thompson entry would shake up the Republican primary process almost immediately and in our opinion, cause one or two GOP candidates to withdrawel from the race before the end of summer. Stay tuned.
Gingrich Getting Closer
Meanwhile, it looks like former GOP Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is getting ever closer to his own race for the presidency. In what can only be described as the must-read story of this early week, the New Yorker’s Jeffrey Goldberg paints a GOP in turmoil with its leaders (including Gingrich) at each other’s throats over the party’s losses in 2006 and dwindling chances in 2008. Expect lots of Rove bashing in this piece.
Zoellick at World Bank
President Bush is expected to name deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick to head the World Bank. Zoellick would replace the disgraced Paul Wolfowitz who resigned last week. Hmm, another Bush crony in another plum position. Yeah, that will work out.
Did you hear?
The mainstream press didn’t tell you but we will: gas prices have started to fall, thanks in part to higher inventories and of course, the passage of Memorial Day. Today’s average stands at 3.197/gallon – down 3 cents from the high set on May 24. Don’t worry, any Fourth of July increase will surely be reported as a price surge by the press, no matter how much the prices fall between now and then.
Drudge Headline of the Day
Gotta love this: “I Saw The Climate Change”, describing Nancy Pelosi’s reaction to her recent trip to Greenland. Classic liberalism.

How much is the pay at gopnation for advertising on FReerepublic? Are there any openings left?
Heh, I like that... Fredneck!
politically astute...... You’re talking politics of public, I’m talking politics of the back rooms, dirty deals and back rubbing/stabbing. He’s too trusting of the other side..........
With a Democrat controlled Senate though (not to mention more than a few RINOs), that may not be a better option.
If you’re sick and tired of RINOs, you must be a Fredneck!
Coming July 4th
This will be an interesting ride.......whee!!!!!!
I agree that other factors are more important than a candidate’s political experience, including his views on important issues. When Tommy Thompson was a governor, he proved that he’s pro-tax cuts, pro-welfare cuts, pro-life, pro-capital punishment, pro-gun rights, and anti-gay marriage. He says that he wants to deport as many illegal aliens as possible, as quickly as possible. The majority of Republicans agree with him about all of those issues.
He’ll stay in the race at least until the Wisconsin primary, which will be on Feb. 19.
its not just the divorce....the open political flirtation with Hillary recently has poisoned the well.
his marital situation is like Rudy’s. a second wife maybe, but 3? to much like the perpetrator and chief from 1993-2001.
I will vote for Fred, or Duncan....in the primaries.
Waiting for “The FRED has landed” announcement.
“Funny (maybe sad) that a collection of Bushbots is still hanging around in certain threads, where any critique of GWB real or imagined is met with heavy retaliation.”
I simply stay off the overtly gushy pro-Bush threads....I’ll just get myself into trouble.
I’m glad to hear that! (LOL)
Condolences on the loss of your friend. :*(
hehe, thanks' spelling/grammar ploice police...your on the spot. :D
......someone has to do it.
Is that a joke??? (smile)
No actually I haven’t. But I’ll check out your link. Thanks.
I know that he dumped two wives after they became seriously ill, and didn’t support his children, who had to get help with food and bills from their church.
Hannity is going to discuss FRED! on H & C shortly...
