Fred Thompson is the only candidate with the qualifications, integrity, honesty, and poise to be President. Ron Paul is unstable(I think they ought to investigate just where all that money is coming from), Romney can''t make up his mind, Huckabee just doesn''t understand policies, McCain is too pro illegals and anti self sufficiency in energy, Giuliani is too corrupt and too Democrat, and all the Democrats are too free with our tax dollars. Those of you insulting Fred Thompson have not read or listened to anything he has said. You have a closed mind and are too blind to see the reality we are facing as a country. Wake up!! Fred is the one who can help us and you better pay attention before it''s too late!

"In case you havn''t noticed, this country is circling the moral drain"

Don''t believe this friends. This is the most un-American bad-mouthing I''ve heard in a while. This is an angle invented by politicians every four years who want to make you think that everything is going to hell in a handbasket and that they can remedy it by taking us back to our roots (sound familiar?). Look past the statistics. Americans are the finest and most generous people in the world. Yes, one nation under God!

No candidate can win the White House without the support of the South, and I predict that Fred Thompson will carry the majority of the South. Hillary sure as hell won''t carry the South!

Religious nut?
Just exactly what DOES this country need, xmissile?
Are we not handing out enough condoms in schools? Should we start handing them out to fifth graders now instead of waiting until sixth grade?
Shall we remove any mention of God from the Pledge of Allegiance? (Or why not just eliminate the Pledge of Allegiance altogether, and have the kids chant Hitlery''s mantra of "Blame America First"? - or praise to Allah, whichever.)
In case you havn''t noticed, this country is circling the moral drain. God help us if we hand the keys over to the likes of Hitlery. If that makes me a "religious nut" - then throw me to the lions.

My post is directed to the following posters listed aboe in particular: Kansas1946, SkyFive, exCoachKen, tibu987, gkc99 and xmissle.

It is so hard to take your posts seriously because they are so juvinile.

Just in case you are baiting me, I''ll bite.

None of you and your ilk have a clue about what is a grassroots "Draft Campaign."

I have posted what is going to happen in the aftermath of a hit piece by the MSM on the Thompson campaign. Go to the following address to read my post:
www.nolanchart.com/article740.html

The MSM is at the bottom of a steep snow covered hill and Fred Thompson''s campaign is rolling down that hill like a run-a-way snow ball that will bowl them over and they don''t even see it coming.

Why? Read my post as listed above and you might get a clue. Then again based on your posts listed above you probably will not.

At least you will not be able to say that you were not warned.

GO FRED! GO FRED! GO!

Can Fred turn it around? The answer is no, they will not take that lazy s.o.b. back on Law and Order.
