Just saw this on fox news
He met with Thompson at that house GOP meeting and after speaking with him he feels that Fred will indeed run and will be our next president. Also a fox news poll puts him at 11 percent tied with Romney and he isn't even running! Another polled said 84% feel his cancer announcement will not effect votes. Run Fred Run! |
|
Pull out the stops and run like hell Mr. ''Fred'' Thompson!!
Get some!! |
|
I'll vote for him.
We can only hope the rest of the USA will too |
|
isnt he a member of the council of foreign relations?
arent they behind the north american union? |
|
For the moment, hope lives again.
Wouldn't it be great to have a REAL candidate, not just the lesser of evils? |
|
YES fred |
|
|
He is a man of strong stature and strong convictions... he speaks with a sureness that makes one who is listening to him, feel secure in one that shows leadership. You see, Bush doesnt have that quality so people THINK he is an idiot because of how unsure he sounds. Even though he KNOWS what he means, he just cant express it, Where as Bill Clinton has a great ability to do that... say what you want about Clinton, but he is a great public speaker so people think he is a genius and they love him. Oh and +1

You mean somebody to actually vore FOR??
Run Fred Run!!!!!!!!!! |
|
I hope you know I was pointing to my sig line, not giving him the thumbs down or something. (Just check'in) |

If we could only be so lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember the hope we had in GWB back in '00, how we all thought this guy was the real deal. He's been good at times, bad at times, basically a true mixed bag. The good has been pretty good, but the bad has been pretty bad. Maybe Fred Thompson will be better than GWB. He will certainly will be better than the other options. |

Ummmmm yeah... look at MY sig line. What, in my post ever gave you the impression I was giving Fred a "thumbs down?" ETA: I liked your post... it was simple and to the point... that is why I quoted you. |
|||
|
It would be the greatest honor of my life to serve with Fred Thompson as Commander in Chief.
|
|
Not you, me. Thought for a second it might have been construed that I was pointing down, giving the negative, thumbs down, etc... to FT. Just wanted to make sure it was known I was pointing to my sig line, but apparently you knew exactly what I meant. My first, and hopefully last brain fart of the day. |
|
|
Yes maybe he will slay the evil hillary and bring prosperity back to our land.
oh and |
|
Sounds good to me. He could be our last president who's even close to conservative.
bush + the dems are going to ram through amnesty to further the third world dilution of the USA. So by the time the 2012 election rolls around we'll be pretty much done. Think about it, elections run 50%/50% between dems and republicans right now, and thats with lots of republicans supporting big government socialism. Just wait unti 20+ million illegals get the right to vote. There goes the close 50/50 balance. They'll be voting 80% democrat socialist. They'll have good turnout too ... look at the marches on commie day (May 1) last year. |
|
Sheeeeut... If I dont have at least a dozen brain farts a day I get worried that something is wrong. |

|
|
Sorry I'm voting for Hitlery cuz Bill is gonna be our "Roaming Ambassador". Yippppeeeeeeeee
|
|
I am reminded of that VW commercial... with the "poet" reading the angry poem as the guys in the VW speed past... Screaming "Thompson is running in '08!"
He resume his reading, but on a much happier note... "Hope ........ Springs...." |
|
How has W been any different in his Presidency than when he ran for it in 2000? Remember "Compassionate Conservatisim"? False speak for strong national defense and liberal social agendas here at home. On the immigration issue, heck, he ran commercials in Spanish in 2000! In fact the only part of his campaign I can say has been different is his foreign policy stance. He campaigned as a isolationist , but 9/11 changed all that and rightly so. It's just most Arfcommers and conservatives in general were so tired of Clinton's and Gore's crap that we let the negatives of GWB not affect us since we wanted ANYBODY different than CLinton or Gore in charge. And considering We've got less taxes, a President fighting our ememies abroad, and two good Supreme Court Justices out of the deal I'd gladly vote for him again considering the alternatives.
But on to 2008, run Fred run, this guy seems like the real conservative we were HOPING GWB would be.
