It appears the news industry have been tired of kissing the butt of Gudy Riuliani. They want to try a new butt: Fred Thompson, the Hollywood actor who will follow the script of the CFR. Ron Paul is the most knowledgeable and honest in the entire bunch.

Spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters, "anytime a citizen comes forward to provide information, we want to encourage it and we want them to know their sources will be protected."

Perino insisted the White House was not the source of the leak last month. She referred reporters to the intelligence community for questions on what she described as any "process problem."

SHES A PIG AND LIES ALL DAY BUSH/CHENEY NEED TO BE HANGED FOR TREASON FOR THE MURDERS OF OUR TROOPS..

Its good he takes his time and actually thinks before he replies. Many candidates just swoop in with what they believe is a good answer, and half the time its wrong. We don''t need speedy gonazles''s.

Fred Thompson would be a good candidate. He is typically southern, perceived as slow and lazy. They all sound that way. Listening to Edwards the other night all I could think was how did he make it out of school with that lazy drawl of his, its worse this year.

Romney and Guliani are head to head. Reminds me of Edwards and Kerry the last time. Edwards would have won. Maybe the Dems will wise up and have Edwards be the front guy this time. Hillary is losing it, accusing someone of being a plant!!! Good thing some of us aren''t in the audience!!!

Please, no more celebrity presidents or politicians.
That is another world although show business and political business at times seem similar.

Fred Thompson has the temperament and knowledge to lead this country. Not only can he win the republican nomination, but he can win the general election as well. His ability, integrity and the principles for which he stands far outweigh the nasty negatives espoused by you naysayers. You deserve Hillary.

You were credible until you started posting.
Do you write for comedy central?

Fred only needs to be himself with an audience who''s actually listening to what he is saying and who understand the fundamentals of the subject he''s dicussing to do very well today.

Yes, this leaves socialist Libprogs nothing else to do but watch Law & Order.

Thompson was a career lobbyist. He''s the last thing thing this country needs in the white house.
