Even Nixon and his staff knew this guy was 'dumb'.

Some day, some day, the 'pubs will stop sending these empty suits to the white house. They hobble middle class americans with wars and taxes and their "trickle up" thievery. Where are the Eisenhower statesman...

US18988,,, I was a republican, even helped Reagan run for governor.... I saw thier version of the Free Trade Vision for America was nothing more than an extension of slavery, then along came Viet Nam, Nixon & Iran Contra... I became democrat when Bush ran for office ---- I knew his real record of lying & fraud.

doctorwho4,,, Neither have a snowball's chance in hell
------ Guiliani became a multi-millionair off of 9/11, didn't care enough about our troops or Iraq to show his patriotism by serving on the Iraq Study Group
------ Thompson robbed the cradle, his wife could be his Granddaughter - lack of morals

It is the old rope-a-dope trick...dance like a butter fly thing which works in boxing. If he pulls it off, it will be interesting who he would pick for VP..likely Guilliani.

On the otherhand with a good show, Guilliani will pick him to cover the southern flank of the GOP with a Northern Strategy to win NY and NJ, and be competitive in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and California.

Terrapin78,
You are wrong. Thomps has non-hodgkins lymphoma, which is far far worse than having cancer of the prostate.
Perhaps his white blood cell count is up and they are waiting to see if he has come out of remission before he declares as a candidate.
Non-hodgkins lymphoma is a disqualifier.

Why rush in when the other dopes are doing such a good job of going down the privy hole without his help.

The whole elephant party is done for because they are lemmings that followed Bush right over the cliff.

Bye bye.

Who is his VP choice? I need to know because Freddie has a cancerous prostate and if he is Prez, he will die from the cancer in office leaving his VP in charge.

NO THANKS!!!

Devil take Fred Thompson, his S&L bandit friends and the low dogs who continue to push this useless bag of bones as a fit candidate for the presidency.

He's sitting back now while the rest of the GOP is floundering. He is as highly ranked as the front runners yet he has not thrown the hat.
He should sit this one out.
The GOP needs to do much repair and healing before he'll have a chance to win anything.

nwihoosier: I actually agree with you and think each party needs to let go of their heirs apparent. But I know many democrats who are over Clinton, yet I still see all these posts by neocons still ranting about a ten year old bj.

A slimy, long term, "foreign agent" lobbyist who helped Big Asbestos reduce or avoid their "murder
by silence" generated settlements --AND lymphoma. NO THANKS!

wonder what the queen said to this lawyer, lobby, buttt ugly, "I'm not running yet" actor.
At this time of so much turmoil is this what America needs?
A guy that thinks maybe he might run cause it could perhaps be his calling to be a decision maker?
and he forgets.
Thompson and McCain - that's the ticket

Haven't we been down the "aging actor for President" road before? Can't Republicans think outside of the Bush Box or Hollywood graveyard?
