Let''s see, Fred Thompson at least knows something about federalism and that Congress has no business getting involved in things it has no powers to be involved in such as the Schiavo case. We are also not supposed to be paying any attention to the "flaky" Ron Paul that stands for such flaky things as our Constitution, America itself, and by the way, just had an almost $20 million 4th quarter that might even beat the fundraising of Obama and Hillary and not to mention most media anointed republican "frontrunners" COMBINED! Ron Paul breaks all one day records with $6 million on top of the previous $4 million and have you heard about it? Media blackout. If it was Hillary, they would be talking about it non-stop.

Gee, post an article written by a liberal magazine that has been trying to belittle Fred ever since he entered the campaign...and people call Fred lazy...maybe if you returned to the day of when reporters tried to tell the objective story, you might find a different - and correct -- picture of what Fred is all about.

LOL Well some things NEVER change... here''s a bootlicker blaming the Media for the failure of this MORON to connect to the voters. I''d suppose the MEDIA is stopping them from coming out to hear him? ROFLMAO Could it be that Neocon''s have failed and failed BADLY? I have a lot of faith in the American People and I think they''ve seen and heard about all they can take from the right and THAT is the reason for the problems you face. Sieg Heil Bush!!

I have followed national elections since the early ''''50s. This is the worst mob of candidates, Republican and Democratic, in history. Most sound like a Christian version of The Taliban. If these are the best America has to offer, we are in serious trouble.

Which Democrats sound or act like the Taliban? I''ve followed them closely from the start and I do not see on the Democrat side this pandering to religion I see CONSTANTLY on the fascist side.

This guy is just mad that he''s retired and has no golden parachute handed to him-see the latest batch of ceo''s who got hundred of millions in severance packages.
I think there''s a guy in his staff that has only one thing to do-constantly remind Fred that he is not on the set of Law and order anymore.This is for real,man...

This is just more of See BS doing their best to tank Thompson, who can beat Hillary, while promoting Ron Paul and Huckabee who can''''t." Posted by vbnvbnvbn at 02:12 PM : Dec 31, 2007

Not sure on what basis you think Thompson could win against ANYONE, let alone Hillary (who isn''t anyone''s choice, yet, BTW, since no votes have been cast). No, Thompson is just another arrogant a$shole who thinks he''s entitled to something. Instead, he''s just a dried up, tired old man. A second-rate actor who started to believe his own bul1_sh1t. Great article, BTW. Laughed my a$s off as I read it.

Fred is still the true conservative in this race. He can''t stand being with ordinary people which is typical GOP, can''t stand ordinary folks, so don''t care to do anything to help them once elected.

That is the most ridiculous article! Is the author simply hoping his dreams will come true if he writes them down?

Puh-leeze!

My guys the Cowboys wanted a win over the Redskins Sunday but they did not want to work for it so they lost. Fred wants to be President but does not want to campaign for it and it shows. Therefore, he will quite the race sometime in the next 90 days.

Let''s try to be charitable. The guy is battling cancer (I know he says he is not cancer free). That takes a lot out of you.

Good luck to you Fred and God Bless.
