Fred Thompson 2008

[Casper]

It looks like this draft is picking up the needed steam, and slow enough to let the DNC sort itself out. I think he'd be a great candidate, a Reagan Republican.

[GhostTX]

And he kicks a$$ in the movies!

A real conservative and a big badass redneck from Alabama/Tennessee. He's got my vote if he runs.

[Casper]

I might have to vote in the primary if he is on it.

"Mr. Butterfield, are you aware of the installation of any listening devices in the Oval Office of the President?"

I'll give him serious consideration if he runs. He's been around Washington for many many years.

[mardyn]

Agreed.. I like Fred.

Guest hosting Paul Harvey all this week can't hurt his chances either. Probably the reason he hasn't launched an exploratory committee yet.

He has been a fillin for Paul for awhile. He has a contract with ABC that goes quite a ways.

And his woman is hawt!

[Paladin]

I hope he runs for sure. From what I have seen so far, he stands for alot of the things I stand for.

He's definitely a Reagan Republican. The things I disagree with him on I can certainly live with.

And then when he retires he can go do some episodes of "oval office" LOL!

[AL P]

I hope he acts like Reagan did if he gets elected.

[Stevo]

What office or position is he considering running?

Head dog catcher.

[Mustangman_2000]

it was a small role, but i liked him in days of thunder.

[Sean88gt]

He's one hell of a guy. He's got my vote if he runs. All the other republicans have issues that are somwhat hard to swallow.

Head honcho.

Fuckin' A, he's got our vote.

If Fred ran, I might have to vote for a Republican. ;)

"A True American Statesman" Hmmm...haven't heard that in a while. I sense that he might actually be, and even put the American citizens above special interest. Maybe there is a "uniter" left in DC. Have to watch how this unfolds...and where his campaign money comes from should he throw his hat in.

I worry about the trial lawyer connection myself.

[bucky]

I wonder what his views are on immigration?

If he gets my vote he'll have to do more than throw money and fences at it.

[Casper]

Very much agreed, although that isn't my primary selection criteria.

I'm of the mind that Mexico gets "banana republic" support which creates the real inequality problem down there.

Like Ross perot said, Nafta created a giant sucking sound, but not of firms moving there; they were already there. It created a giant sucking sound of people wanting capitalism rushing to a place they could pursue that dream. Among others of course. a fence doesn't discriminate based on motive, it only enables better scrutiny elsewhere.

[TexasDevilDog]

* Romney's support drops to within the margin of error of not existing (that's 3% support in a poll where the margin of error is 3%).

* Giuliani's support drops 13 percentage points since the last USA Today/Gallup poll, March 2-4 (that's gotta hurt).

* Fred Thompson (not running, by the way) is now the No. 3 in the GOP field, at 12%.



Nice

Yep. What a pussy.

Beat me to it... not only using an illness as a publicity stunt, but ripping off the Edwards campaign! :mad:

No, he has had it for a few years, but it is in remission. Obama is a piece of shit btw.

Why?


Oh.. that's right. You're a straight ticket kinda guy. And he's not on your side.

His views suck.

nu uh.

[99SVTour]

Was he just diagnosed with some cancer or something?

I watched a 10 minute interview he did last night. He was diagnosed 4 or 5 years ago but it has been in remission for a few years and it's not life threatening. It is a "slow growing cancer" that is easily manageable/treatable.
According to the interview he is now up to 2nd in polls for the Republican candidate, but I haven't had time to search for proof that this is true.

So, he's milking his remission?

Oh, man.

[99SVTour]

So, he's milking his remission?

Oh, man.

he says that he brought it out to let people know before he announces any kind of candidacy because he doesn't feel a 65 year old man with cancer should run for such a position without his employer(us) knowing about the condition so it can be used in the decision making process.
It can be spun however you'd like but I tend to believe him because he seems to be a statesmen rather than a politician, which is why I like him.

Edwards - using it to his advantage.
Thompson - just informing everyone.

Dude...I vote for the individual and what they supposedly stand for. Obama has an internal struggle, he hates half of himself.

And the guy wrote a series of memoirs when he was 30. I'm 30. That to me screams douche material. I have stories to tell, and very good ones, but I don't have to publish them as to feel self important.

Edwards isn't the one with cancer you stupid motherfucker, you're so godamned fucking ignorant I cant continue trying to be cordial. You're more ignorant than fucking mustangman2000.
I suppose it's just coincidence that Edward's wife's cancer has been made public twice when it came time for him to need a boost. Her cancer that has nothing to do with his ability to work.

He's the youngest senator... not to mention the only black senator... in office today. Maybe his stories are more interesting. I don't know.

No, but I believe you have stated that John Edwards is using his wife, Elizabeth Edwards (the one who has cancer, retard), to gain votes.

Maybe if you say fuck some more, you'll "appear" to be correct and even intelligent.

Doubt it. Read his book. He admits drug use to help him get away from real life. oooooohhhhh...what a page turner;)

haha. well, maybe it appeals to the everyman who might have tried drugs. Clinton did. he denied it. Bush did, but he's never spoke of it. Maybe Obama's just trying a different approach.

I should write a memoir.

Of a Geisha.

Hell yes.

you're comparing a guy who is running to a guy who doesn't even know if he will run yet. Explain to me how Fred Thompson doing a low level interview that few will hear/see is comparable to Edwards plastering it every fucking place possible.

Fuck could be the only word I use all day and I would still have 10 times the intelligence of you.

If he doesn't know if he'll run yet, then why is he announcing it? It's not like he's doing interviews for whatever tv show he's on/was on.

He's going to run. He's testing the waters. That's why he came out about hit cancer. Why else would it matter to the public?

[Paladin]

Who doesn't?

Please enlighten us on all the issues that you and Obama agree on and how you decided to vote for him. I might agree with you and decide to vote for him.

You are the most ignorant liberal I have seen to date. Thompson announced HIS cancer becuase if he ever decides to run for President because he wants the voters who might vote for him to know in advance.

If he starts to send money solicitations to people who wish him well, he is no better than Edwards. If you can't see the difference between the two right now, without any solicitations from Thompson, you are so blind by your liberal hate it is sad.

[gpamp]

you are so blind by your liberal hate it is sad.
Have you even read the thread about Edwards?

You mean Kinky, the guy who hired Ventura's strategist and tried to do the same thing that had been done in Minnesota? Originality, dumbass style. LOL

Ok, NONE of them are original. haha

Yep, apparently you haven't though.

Poor gpamp, he can't even make a simple point withut being proven wrong. Just plain sad!

Yep, apparently you haven't though.
No, I have. And it's a thread full of conservatives, spewing the same hatred you claim I'm guilty of having.

Post an example of the hatred you speak of.

And he can't exactly call me a conservative so I don't count.

[exlude]

I like this guy for the most part. He doesn't stand with me on a couple of the "key" issues, but if he would truly be a statesman...that would not matter as much to me.

Why should a few "key" issues matter to you? The straight ticket Democrats guys have mostly admitted they don't agree with the majority of their candidates, but they do it anyway. :cool:

[gpamp]

Out of the Edwards thread.

shut the fuck up.

Oh STFU with your holier-than-thou crap. If a Republican did the same thing, you would be all over him calling him all kinds of terrible things. If you say you wouldn't, you are a liar.

After reading lizzy's quotes I hope she lives for several more years in extremely excruciating pain, unable to take a shit without the help of a bag zipped to her stomach.

Fucking elitist bitch deserves it IMO. Too bad her hubby can't catch it from her. Maybe he'll have to admit he has aids from banging his boyfreinds.

Look small minded retard, You asked to see proof of hate. I gave you hate. Not only that, look at them again. One of those 3 is directed at Elizabeth Edwards. And none of the "fuck yous" I posted were directed at me in the Conservative Hate thread.

Haha, you can't read very well can you; I'm not a conservative at all. 90notch is. Denny is. We've butted heads over actual issues more than once. I can honestly say that we've come to "agree to disagree" many times. Funny how constructive dialogue works like that. Try it. I bet you'll find them both pretty open minded, assuming you open yours.
