I''LL ADMIT I MIGHT BE PREJUDICE
Ok, I''m a Dem, but I have to tell you I have listened to Thompson and this man has absolutely nothing to offer.
If he gets the nomination and I truly hope he does we Dems should donate 1 seat in the house to Repubs to show our appreciation.

Please ConDumbs, make every reference you can to compare Southern Fascist Fred Thompson to fellow GOPig Fascist Ronald Reagan. Fact is, Reagan was one of the WORST presidents in US history. We have all the proof we need to undo the Corporate Lies about Ronald Reagan. Bring on the LIES, ConDumbs!

All the other candidates are so bad, he could probably fall asleep and still come out on top. :)

Look at Fred Thompson and then look at a picture of the creature from the black lagoon. The only difference is gills and webbed hands/feet.

Is Fred Thompson the actor who portrayed Lurch on The Addams Family tv show years ago? This guy is a joke!

Five wives for Giuliani and Thompson; one wife for over 50 years for Ron Paul. Actions speak louder than words. Vote Ron Paul.

If Thompson comes just short of pooping himself on stage tomorrow, Republicans will think Thompson was a success in the debate. All he has to do is to take the Bush position on everything but immigration and the knuckledraggers will be satisfied. Oh, and he has to avoid falling asleep at any point during the debate.

I like Fred''s particular brand of family values!

"Dump the old hag and marry a young chick!!"

Between the two front runners, Giuliani and Thompson, they''ve had FIVE WIVES!

Now that''s what I call Republican FAMILY VALUES!!

LOL

Can''t wait to see this parade of GOP actors and sleaze balls!!

The GOP is nothing more than a party of actors and would be actors now.

Adulterers, pedophiles, warmongers, warprofiteers, all posing as your regular all American family values candidate!!

Gimme a break!!

LOL

If a politician does not "play" with the special interests, then that politician will not get very much money to use for his/her campaign.

What has been the theme with all of these presidential candidates in every news story mentioned about them?

MONEY! (and will he/she have enough for the campaign)

Has anyone ever bothered to ask why candidates need so much money to run a "successful" campaign? Has anyone ever bothered to figure out why those candidates who have the most (or nearly the most) money seem to do better than those who have the least?


Eliminate ALL private/corporate campaign donations now!

Actors becoming politicians...

...politicians becoming actors...

...(and some just can''t make up their mind which way to go).

Is anyone getting the connection here?!

Sure, all career politicians are actors, it''s just that only a select few are good enough to make a career out of their acting ability.
