Comments on: Fred Thompson's Non-Campaign Rolls On

Actor And Former Senator Explains Why He Could Be President, But Won't Commit To Running

I really hope Thompson throws in, but not too soon. For crying out loud, we have 17 months of political meat grinding before November 08.

My complaint with bush is that he acts like a conservative to get elected, then there is little conservative action for 6+ years. The tax cuts were a good start, but need to be forever to be worth anything. The war against Islamic fascism is an unfortunate but necessary evil.

And yes, if it is admitted by the libs or not, Iraq is a critical front in this war. Bush's war position does not make him a conservative; it simply means he is not totally oblivious like many on the other side of the isle.

Thompson strikes me as less driven by the superego and more driven by personal pragmatic conservative conviction. He has the support of this bucked tooth, Bible reading, anti-intellectual hillbilly. Thank God Thompson is to the right of Bush on many issues.

The Christian right-wingers have not been that big of a player in the last decade. Pat Robertson's Christian coalition is a small fraction of what it used to be and hasn't done much due to financial shortfalls (probably b/c hillbillies don't have much money to send, right Randal?). Your bashing of peoples' religion is unnecessary.

The only and I do mean only reason Bush ever got elected in the first place was because Rove mobilized the more moronic people of the Christin right wing. Yes they are a relatively small part of the republican party (by the way, I rarely capitalize either party's name), but they are essential (irreplaceable actually) to any republican victories in national elections and they demand their pound of flesh for their support, usually in the form of supreme court nominations or religious friendly laws like the faith based joke of programs that Bush put out there. I have no problem with people having a religion. This is America and people can worship any book of fables they choose, but what I object to is when these religious people stick their noses into the government. There should never be a mix of religion and politics, because it always cheapens and demeans both whenever it happens.

RandaDS...... Maybe it is getting late to play "Simpleton Says" game that your most "intarlekchuly inlat'nin" post of yorn.... Bye.

Well I have no problem capitalizing Democrat, even though my principles (fiscal and social) follow close to the Republican platform. I think there are more intelligent and dedicated Republicans besides the few you mentioned. The Christian right-wingers have not been that big of a player in the last decade. Pat Robertson's Christian coalition is a small fraction of what it used to be and hasn't done much due to financial shortfalls (probably b/c hillbillies don't have much money to send, right Randal?).

Asked and answer refused for good reasons. Why should I bring up any names or attributes when by your very attitude you're poised just to mock them? What would that solve? It sure wouldn't convince you that you're wrong or that I'm right. It'd be a waste of time, effort and end up with nothing changed. I won't play your troll games, so go play with other your own age. Around 12 or 13 should be about right. Good night.

RandalDS..... ZZZZZZ,...Got a reading comprehension problem? This hillbilly knows when a question "aint" been answered.... Still waiting.

[randalds]

RandalDS......Why dont you submit some of "your" candidates good points. I'm interested in some political historical facts of the person, not their theories. Your "GOP THUCKS" posts snore me out.

Why? Got your right wing anti-whoever a democrat mentions notes ready to try to ridicule anything I say or any name I bring up? Why should I play your childish game when entertaining you is not my goal here. Telling the truth is. I could care less if I bore you or not and if you see my posts as nothing but anti-republican ones then you obviously haven't read the bulk of them as many have little or nothing to do with the republican party (small r) or you just ignored the ones you didn't want to try to understand.

[randalds]

I did not say all republicans (the party is not worthy of a capital R) are hillbillies or morons. I have no doubt that there are a few intelligent ones, such as Cheney and Rove who are smart enough to know that in order for Bush to win they needed to mobilize the hillbilly idiot Christian right wingers. So they did. There are also a few (very few) intelligent ones that do have the best interests of the country in mind, such as Hagel, Spector and Snow. however those republicans who get all dewy-eyed with loyalty when speaking of their messiah Bush are indeed morons, hillbillies, blinded by the light Christian lunatic right wingers.

Intelligent people grace both sides of the aisle Mr. Randal. Your stereotypical comments about my party (which intelligent people capitalize) shows your extreme mean sprirt. I am not an idiot, a moron, or faith blinded. I am not a hillbilly and I would never compare W with Christ. Your out of context, exaggerated, and very ridiculous comments are unfortunate, since they have no spirit of cooperation. That's what America needs, and it's too bad that Mr RandalDS is what America gets.
