Now I'm starting to get it. You think "liberals" are wankers don't you?

Re: Fred Thompson considering a run at the White House

Fred Thompson doesn't even want to run.

He hates politicing for money and the man is in ill health .. besides he's a right-wing republican and NO, NADA, ZIP, ZILCH right-wing republican has a ghost of a chance of being the next POTUS.

The best chance of nomination for the republicans is near-liberal Guilani .. who has a closet FULL of skeletons and REPUBLICANS will tear his ass apart in the primaries .. won't leave much left for the democrats.

Can't win a debate against a "honest right-thinking conservative"

You must have been in a coma during the 2006 elections and seem completely unaware that the democratic Congress has gotten far better approval ratings than the repulican Congress and the idiot president has.

Need proof?

AND "strong conservative candidate" .. you mean like McCain .. who has been sinking faster than the Titanic?

You guys are fun.

BUt that is a fact. HArdly compares to a baseless ethical claim.

Huh?

What fact?

The claim isn't baseless. It ran in the WSJ. I have the paper at home.

I do not think all liberals are/have been "wankers." I will say that there hasn't been a "modern" liberal I have agreed with to any great extent. Based on what I know of President Kennedy I think that I would of been a huge supporter of his had I been alive during that era. Despite the fact that I would disagree with him on a great many things I can honestly say that he was a great American hero.

I will remember those words. Hillary Clinton doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating any major Republican candidate. Barack Obama has an even shot at beating anybody except for Fred Thompson.

The 2006 election was indicative of people's distrust of government, republicans getting away from their conservative ideals, and the willingness/skill of the democrats as it pertains to dishonest political attacks such as lumping all republicans in with people like Mark Foley. Democrats most certainly did not win the battle of ideals.

Seriously can you read? This thread is about Fred Thompson. Who is probably the strongest conservative candidate out there.

No I pointed out a common debate tactic of individuals without courage and/or reasoning ability.

I’d say it’s ill-advised to count Fred Thompson out before you see how he interacts with the American public. He didn’t want to run out, mostly of respect for McCain. Since it looks like McCain won’t fair too well against the Democrats top contenders, he is reconsidering. He’s expected to make an announcement on May 4 at an appearance at the 45th annual dinner of the Lincoln Club of Orange County in Southern California.

My, what keen insight you have:

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?
2007 Apr 2-5 Approve: 33 Disapprove: 60 No opinion: 7



George W. Bush's Current Approval Rating (Apr. 13-15, 2007) 36%

Re: Fred Thompson considering a run at the White House

I live in Australia, but even I am aware that calling a Republican politician an "honest, right-thinking conservative" is a bit of an oxymoron!

Things must be different over there. "Honest politician” pretty much covers it here.

Thompson is a non-entity, a pipe dream. He does not want to run and even if he did, his support of this war will land him right in the toliet along with McCain.

Republicans are looking to Thompson because the field they have now is so miserably weak.

Here is your next nominee .. Rudybella
