Comments on: Poll: Thompson A Factor In GOP Race

CBS: Undeclared Republican Candidate Fred Thompson Is Running Second To Giuliani

[menofoz]

Frederick Dalton "Fred" Thompson (born August 19, 1942) is an American lawyer, lobbyist, character actor and former Republican Senator from Tennessee (now residing in McLean, Virginia).[1]

He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)

Over about two decades of lobbying, Fred Thompson represented clients including Haitian Presidente Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Canadian-owned cable companies and a British reinsurance company.[14]

In 1982, Thompson lobbied the U.S. Congress for deregulation of the Savings and Loan (S&L) industry. His recommendations were incorporated in the Garn - St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982,[10] which allowed thrifts to invest in potentially more profitable, but riskier, ventures; eliminated interest-rate ceilings on new accounts; and granted additional government support to ailing S&Ls. This Act was a contributing factor to the Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s.

They can't help it ainttaken all republicans think alike and honesty is not part of their vocabulary just look at these post. a joke

[starleo146]

perception5--12:44p.m.- We didn't think Bush would be elected in 2004 either so wishing doesn't make it so

[prinzowhales]

Good post t_barr! Notice that Edwards slimed his way over to Italy for the Bilderburg confab prior to being named as Kerry's VP pick, to kiss the rings of the New World Order cabal.

[perception5]

None of the Democrats are qualified to be President. They all left-wing liberals who don't represent all Americans.

Hillary and Obama voted AGAINST funding for our American troops overseas ..........SO how could either one of these flaming liberals be Commander-in-Chief ??

Won't happen............

[tell7]

Fred will not have to fight for his money and it is all but guaranteed that he will be the Republican nominee. Bush/Cheney/Rove worshipers, he is your man. Want change for our nation ? Fred will be your worst nightmare. Fred is the anointed one. To prove this point one only has to look at Freddy's campaign staff, they are Bush operatives. I will name just three...Mary Matalin, (former Daddy Bush campaign staffer, former adviser to *** Cheney, colleague of Karl Rove, Elizabeth Cheney, (eldest daughter of *** Cheney) and George P. Bush (son of Jeb Bush). Fred is no harmless TV actor, no DC outsider. Due to his lobbyist past and his "chosen one" status he will be copiously funded by the Corporate Machine. This actor's Presidency will be dictated and scripted by BushCo. Republicans, Democrats and Independents, vote as you will, but be aware.

It has been discovered that the Democrats, concerned that Fred Thompson's background as a politician, then movie actor, may hurt them in the "hoped for" Presidential election in 2008, have decided to find a possible candidate with a similar background to counter Thompson's threat. Actors such as Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner were approached, but refused to make any runs for political office, and Clint Eastwood stated that he would much rather "stare down" GOP candidates than debate them.

Failing to find a movie actor to run against the GOP, it has been decided by Howard Dean that the Democratic front-runners, Hiliary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards, should be given a "crash course" in acting and appear in several TV episodes of "Boston Legal" while one of the 3, possibly Obama, would appear as a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars".

It is hoped by Howard Dean that this would "level the playing field" until such time as Maria Shriver can convince her husband, Arnold "the Terminator" Schwazennager, do convert to Liberalism, become a Democrat, and run against the "manny-panny" GOP neocons.

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!

Still waiting for the mainstream media to report on congress record low approval rating.

[condumism]

Thomplson, another GOP phoney from the Southern States of Hypocrits, Fascists, and America haters! Time to undo the long term damge done to the USA by Republicon Abe Lincoln and DEMAND SOUTHERN STATES SECEDE!

[pwrslm]

funny thing is, all of this condemnation of Thompson

any he still has not officially stated his stand of any of the issues we face

doent that qualify as prejudice, or is it willful ignorance?

[prinzowhales]

If the CBS poll is accurate, then Americans are well on their way to continuing the foreign policy idiocy of the Bush Administration and expanding the Stupid Peoples' War to Iran-- and Americans fully deserve what they get!

It is not only bad foreign policy you will get from these 'mainstream' candidates...it will be bad immigration policy, bad economic policy, a continuation of the IRS and the abomination known as the income tax.

The only surprise left in the race, perhaps, is whether "Pie Eating" Gore will waddle into the Democratic contest to gobble up Hillary votes.

Ron Paul, Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich remain the only candidates outside the other parties who will make a CLEAN BREAK with the horrible policies of the past, put the Stupid Peoples' War behind us and get this nation back on track.

"Former Sen. Fred Thompson is already attracting support, even though he has yet to announce his candidacy for the GOP nomination."

Uh yeah sure. Pure propaganda.
Nice try to spin this loser.
Send him back to lobbyville, usa.

[bluestardad]

stick a fork in him he is a republican they could not get elected dog catcher!

[starleo146]

sorry fixitdamnit I went to bed all this Fred Thompson talk made me soooo sleepy or I would have answered (which I thought I did) but actually once you have your mind made up it is hard to change it right. All I was trying to say after the slam you gave the democratic nominees is I want this to be right and we have to forget democrat, republican no more of this unlawful conquering type regime we have to be soooo careful when we pull or press that vote. It is going to take YEARS to straighten this all out. Our military alone has taken such a beaten if a military confrontation happened today our equipment is so broken we could not sustain any military catastrophe whatsoever and that is the truth our military may not be completely broken but it is hurting bad and the meaning of my post was to be vigilant in who is who that is all and we have to stop and think. I think ainttaken explained my post real well and I thank ainttaken.

[mayihavemore]

Freds voting record will do him in. Look it up! If you were upset about immigration bill you will be livid with his voting record.

[mcvet]

Obviously one ticket will be Clinton/Obama. The other Fred/Rudy.

Rudy will be an easy win over Obama and Fred will have a big money source to fight but he will get Hillary on the talk circuit. Her baggage will kill her on the written circuit.

LOL RIGHT! LOL Can you say Madame President? The Fascist have been trying to beat the Clintons for years. They OWN the Southern Nazi's and the Religious Reich, that IS the present day Republican Party Sparky. The chance of them winning anything outside the stupid south is not likely... not after Iraq and the mess this nation is in. Maybe you folks should hole up for another 70 years of so...that's about how long it took to forget the LAST mess you made. Sieg Heil Bush!

[jacksteen1]

Like I said in the first post in this blog, Mutt Romney, Fred "Basset Face" Thompson, and Rudy Nathan Guiliani are the best the Republishits can do ?

"Right away, Madame President Clinton!"

[randalds]

Of course if he did win that at least we'd have some "Law and Order" in the White House for the first time in 8 years. Of course it'd just be in name only, but the bas*tards there now don't even try to pretend to be honest any longer. Bush and Cheney just screw us over and then flip us off.

Rudy will be an easy win over Obama and Fred will have a big money source to fight but he will get Hillary on the talk circuit. Her baggage will kill her on the written circuit.
