when I saw the headline...I STOPPED, PAUSED AND TEARS SUDDENLY ROLLED DOWN MY FACE...
I am the same age as Fred and I know at this stage in life, death can come at any time, and we must be prepared..I so loved this man as a Senator, and a POTUS candidate, one I donated to and that says a lot about me because I don’t donate to Politicians.
He was a good man, he loved his family and I feel a terrible loss for them all..May he be safely in the arms of our Lord, and never again know Pain, or suffering...
Peace and Comfort to all his family and friends...
He is now safely home..God Bless You Fred...
When we take our last breath on Earth, We take our first breath in Heaven...and so it is for our friend, Fred Thompson.
Certainly someone has already posted this, but we sure will miss Fred. He was a real bright spot for us in a dark time.
We still remember his response to some moderator’s foolishness in a debate, about having the candidates answer a question by a show of hands...everyone of ‘em, (except Fred of course ;), was in various stages of raising their hands when Fred read the moderator the riot act - in the politest Southern gentleman’s way, and the rest of ‘em couldn’t drop their hands fast enough, lol.
Godspeed Fred.
Tatt
IF he had won in ‘08 he would not have made it through his second term.
Maybe...but the asshole who is in there now, wouldn't have been.
Rest in peace Mr. Thompson
Lord Jesus Christ, rest the soul of Thy servant Fred among the saints and the angels and grant him life everlasting.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
I still have mine too.
RIP
RIP
If he were in his second term, things would be dicey right now. All things happen for a reason I suppose. God Bless his wife and children.
“” His was the first presidential campaign I actually donated money to.””
Same here FRiend...Fred would have been a truly great president.

Fred’s Twitter page. It is full of Fred-isms. His wit was always mixed with truth and he saw it all in a unique way.
RIP Senator. One of the great ones, IMHO.
Good Man. RIP
Very sad news. Memory eternal.
Fred took on our former corrupt governor and started the process of bringing him down. It was former governor {Pardon Me Ray} Blanton. IIRC in the movie “Marie” Fred played his own role.
Neither did I. RIP, Fred. I still have his campaign hat.
I miss you, Jonny!
Bless you Big Fred, you are with the angels now.
R.I.P. We’ve lost another good one.
Yeah, watched Hunt for Red October last night and there was Fred very believably playing an Admiral. He had the look.
RIP Senator Thompson.
I’ve never wanted to take it down.
Good man. RIP.
