he's probably scared to jump in now cuz he'll be forced to debate all this other pigs and then we'll know - he's trying to hide .......

He's got a good thing going as it is. If he officially enters the race, his not-so-cerebral GOPer supporters may figure out that he's not really the character he plays on t.v.

Margaret Thatcher?

I guess this is pretty big development if we were going into the Falkland Islands...

When is Englands GOP primary anyway?

Are these people that mental?

God Save the Queen!

This might not be very nice, but I would compare Freddy to Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot all rolled into one.

okay okay - i am kidding (mostly)

Fred did so little in Congress, about the only thing he could ask Maggie is if she watched any of his episodes of Law and Order on TV.

This story is just too funny I mean a dead sheep could run against these sleeze bags and win. Too bad the only Republican that would do a good job can't get elected.

These mainstream candidates always have to scuttle over to England, to the Bilderburg conference or to Israel to get someone's blessing--anyone but the American people.
Thompson was worthless as a senator and is nomination will mean more of the same in Washington.

Wow, a U'S. Senator having to visit a has been conservative British prime minister to enhance his foreign policy background. That's supposed to be scary?

None of the GOP candidates scare me, including the ones running for house and senate.

His series won't last another 4 years, let alone him.

To me, this story demonstrates exactly why Thompson is insignificant and 30 years behind the times. I liked Margaret Thatcher back in the 80's but who would care about seeking her approval nowadays? This guy definitely thinks he's Ronald Reagan incarnate! From the look of the picture up there, he's also been practising his phoney Bill Clinton "lockjaw" look in front of the mirror, too!

Thompson's advisers aim to use the London events to bolster his foreign policy credentials and elevate him above the increasingly contentious fray of the GOP race.

That is part of Foreign Policy 101- He will come home with a National Defense and a Bronze Star medal too.

Fred doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of becoming President. He's just living a fantasy that his money has allowed him to do. It's kind of embarrassing. Almost like Harriet Miers being on the Supreme Court when she was never even a traffic court judge. Or kind of like a bad Elvis Presley impersonator.

One of Clint Eastwoods classic movie lines rings true...."a man's (or person in 2007) got to know his limitations." If your not a Air Force fighter jet pilot, that's o.k., just don't be cheesey and pretend to be one (like our President).

Typical politician.
Sadly, many will fall for his "humble, and honest" intentions.
"Liz Cheney, the former State Department official and the vice president's elder daughter, is consulting on foreign policy. Longtime GOP guru Mary Matalin, a friend of Thompson, will help shape the campaign's message."

Just another greedy scum sleaze ball going after the green.
Players exit stage left- bring on next act.
